Ans.      Firstly with the advent of the internet it felt to me like a limitation because CD production drastically declined most people now wanted to go to the internet to download the music they like than what is home based.

He would usually say that ‘the worst thing that can happen to you is when opportunity meets you unprepared’. So I keep preparing till my day of opportunity comes.

Q21.       If you could change anything about the gospel industry, what would it be?

Ans.     The aspect that people think that gospel music is like circular music singing for fame and money. Also the aspect where singers totally think they can’t work out their talent like their vocals and they throw all to the working of the Holy Spirit is just a myth.

Q22.       What`s next for you?
