I think of all the things I know I'm good at and wonder why the road has been so slow. I mean, my music is really good. It's easy listening as the melody isn't very traditonal. I'm also a person who gets bored with the same things after a while but I can listen to my music every day and feel the urge to dance every time. Surely that must mean its good. I have tried singing both in English and Ghanaian. For some reason, the songs don't sound as good as I visualise them in English, however my Ghanaian songs are heaps better. I love blending sounds so the mixture of European and African works for me! There is so much music still to come and I often wish I could concentrate on producing music for 3-6 months. I've got so many ideas that I believe are fantastic but work commitments do not allow the luxury of 'making music' at one's leisure. I will get them all out of me one day. May be then, I'll feel I have achieved a big chunk of what I need to do before my final farewell.
Self belief is very important. With that, there should be elements of self knowledge and being true to oneself. These things must surely come from within. It defines a person and makes you sure about yourself in certain context that although you appreciate that others may not share your enthusiasm for your creations and creativity, it really doesn't matter because you are satisfied with the results.
One of my ambitions is to hear two of my songs played as classical pieces. I can hear it now (obviously in my mind) and it sounds heavenly. Wel l that's not so surprising as the songs are mostly Gospel.
Bless!
