PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT LEADS TO GROWTH

Dedication to growth does not enlarge your potential alone but also, it motivates you in moving forward. It starts in a cycle of growth and if sustained with the movement, it leads to extensive growth.

Music became the next thing that interest me after I was chased out from a football field and football became a "lost passion and dream."

My mum was one of the worship team at my home church and on Saturday evenings, I follow her to rehearsals. The population of the worship team  is more than 100. We have different kinds of musical instruments.

Always, I get carried away looking at the guys playing the instrument and this makes me to like music. I spoke with one out of the guys that handles instruments to train me in guitar. He promise too but couldn't meet up with it because of his schedules and school and at work.

It came to a point that on Saturday, I stop going with my mum. I go to the church one hour before the reheasal and setup the drums training myself.
I tried to do the same with guitar but it was difficult for me to learn by myself.

I bought my first acoustic guitar and took a two months guitar lesson. My teacher was not good in the areas which i wanted but he thought me the foundation and I continue the training at home myself with the materials i borrowed from some friends.

I had many challenges but never gave up on musical instruments. It came to a point were I realize the incredible power of personal growth. The growth added another dimension to my music life and I developed in writing songs and arranging it.

Success in life determines how well equip you are. If you train yourself and develop your talent, gift, or what you like doing most, you will go further more quicker than you've ever dreamed.


Doing a song tittle "OJUMO" which I composed in my native language "YORUBA."

The pianist really did well. Hearing the song for the first time, played along with me. It was awesome!

My African friend also contributed with his "TALKING DRUM."
