The trio led a pathfinding conversation on the need to build
a sustainable structure for the Gospel Music industry.
The second edition of
the conference which was held at Daystar Christian Centre, Oregun, had a
cross-section of speakers and panellists discussing the need to build a
rewarding structure for the promising industry.
At the event, Cabasa emphasised the need for Christians to
look beyond the church. He added that this doesn’t reduce the function of the
gospel but in essence, improves the true worth of Christians.
“The Gospel sends light forth. That’s what the Bible told
us. Even our Lord Jesus knows we are in this world, and that’s why he made us
light. There is no industry separated from another; we all do the same thing.
The only difference in ours is that we are doing this to the glory of the Lord.
These guys out there are your colleagues. It’s the same way you have bankers
who are either Christians or not as colleagues. But we must be the light and
seek knowledge,” Cabasa said.
Speaking on the idea behind the conference, Onyedikachi
emphasised the need to hold conversations that analyse the growth and projects
of the future of the Nigerian Gospel Music Industry.
“The goal is to be intentional about growth. We want the
industry to grow. That’s what we are all about. We have been holding this
conference for a while and the goal has always been the same. We want to equip
our people with knowledge. Knowledge of copyright, knowledge in knowing how to
go about promoting our songs, knowledge of when to open up for partnerships and
collaboration, knowledge on being aware of how music distribution works and how
music rights are allocated. We want the space to expand. That’s why we are here
to learn from experts.
Other speakers at the event are Music Maestro, Tosin Alao;
music producer, Dr. Edward Sunday; Minister GUC; Mike Abdul, Dr. Tim Ogboruche
and a lot more.
