While going through my feeds and notifications I stumbled on this topic and I've decided to share my own views but then I wouldn't know if I'm late, even if it is, I guess it's rather late to share than never 🤷.
I love music honestly, be it gospel, contemporary, hip pop, reggae etc. The way it melts the heart,calms the soul and gives inspiration to anyone who carefully listens to it and the lyrics is simply amazing.
Right from childhood I have really liked and loved music, a very good one at that and to even think that my grandparents actually lived with it all their life before passing on.
I like music, I'm a singer and I sing in my church so much, the part I love to sing especially is "Alto". Would I be wrong if I say it usually takes me to cloud 9? 🤔😂😋😀😏
Let's get started with the questions
ARE YOU A MUSICIAN OR HAVE A NEIGHBOR THAT IS A MUSICIAN?
I am a musician. Music is one thing I love most, it's my hobby and it's also like my ministry. I do have lots of people (neighbors) who love music too. Every single day music is being played in the compound where I stay back then in school and over here at my Mom's.
DOES SOMEONE IN YOUR CLOSE FAMILY PLAY AN INSTRUMENT?
Yes, someone in my family plays an instrument. I was born to see my parents especially my mom choristers in all churches they pastored. Also, my grand parents were also musicians and instrumentalists though it's sad that I didn't get to meet them and probably watch, listen and hear them play.
My immediate brother is a keyboardist and he plays so well. My junior brother too who is in SSS1 recently trained how to play keyboard as well and currently he's good at it cos he displays his talent in church every Sunday.
My two sisters sing alot especially the one after my immediate brother. So you see I'm from a family of musicians and instrumentalists. Everyone of us out together will make a perfect team cos we're complete.
Also, did I mention to you that I play drums too? Yes I do play drums it I've just been too busy giving excuses not to improve and be better, it's sad that I do not have a picture of me in that aspect maybe cos I don't really fancy it.
IS IT DIFFICULT TO LISTEN MANY TIMES TO THE PRACTICING SESSIONS?
Well I won't say it's difficult to listen to the practicing sessions except for those that are really tactical and hard but then that's why we have rehearsals to help us out.
IS IT NICE? DO YOU FIND JOY IN THAT?
Yes I love it when rehearsing and practicing. Atleast I'll make mistakes there, correct them and try to do better Incase I'm supposed to perform outside. Also, I do find joy in it as well.
DID YOU HAVE SOME FUNNY MOMENTS?
Yes I did have some funny moments. I could recall that I was supposed to perform and lead a song in my church but I didn't really like it cos I was very shy. So when the time came for me to take over, I came up with the idea that I'm pressed and that I wanted to use the convenience so bad. People were much that day and I didn't want to be the centre of attraction so I brought up that idea and left. Few knew it was a prank and we all laughed about it.
HAVE SOMEONE EVER COMPLAINED TO YOU IF YOU STUDY YOUR MUSICAL INSTRUMENT?
Yes, my director in church will always talk about me not being serious with it and also try to help out but then each time that happens, I see myself not just doing it.
MAYBE YOU'RE NOT A MUSICIAN, EITHER HAVE A MUSICIAN NEIGHBOR, BUT YOU LIKE TO LISTEN TO LOUD MUSIC?
I have quite a number of neighbors who love music from left, right, centre. Everyday I will hear them play music that fits in the morning, afternoon, evening and so on and they don't make it loud, it's usually on normal tempo, music don't have to be too loud especially when you're in the midst of people so that it won't disturb them in anyway.
WHAT WAS THE WILDEST THING YOU DID IN YOUR FLAT? BOTHERING YOUR NEIGHBORS?
Okay so I could recall that I actually did something of this nature back then in school at where I stayed. There's this course that gave me tough times so I failed it and had to write again. Now, when the results came out I passed so with joy in my heart, getting home I turned on my music player and played beautiful and nice songs appreciating God and dancing. It was very loud and my neighbors begged that I reduce the volume cos it was disturbing them.
WHAT US YOUR FAVOURITE MUSIC YOU LISTEN TO LOUDLY?
There's this song by TATIANA MANAOIS titled "LIKE YOU". I listen to this song every God damn time cos when I feel depressed or moody at some point I listen to it and it gives me inspiration.
HAS SOMEONE CALLED THE POLICE?
Hahahaha 😀😀😀 this is actually funny but NO Boone has called the police before 😀.
WHAT DO YOUR NEIGHBORS LISTEN TO? AND DO YOU LIKE IT?
My neighbors listen to all genres of music o, raggae, hip pop, contemporary, gospel, name it. I like it cos somehow they do know exactly how to play songs that fit into it and they do have quite a number of songs.
