Gospel artist Laolu Gbenjo has expressed his views on the variety of music genres, arguing that a world where everyone exclusively performed gospel music would lack excitement.
In an interview on Channels Television’s The Morning Brief, he highlighted the significance of musical diversity, pointing out that different occasions require different types of songs, such as romantic ballads for weddings and celebratory praise for festive events.
“We have to be sincere to ourselves, if everybody sings gospel, the world will be boring. That’s the truth. If anyone is getting married, you don’t expect me to sing gospel all through, there are love songs and celebration praise. It’s just a celebration”, he said.
Gbenjo also shared how the COVID-19 lockdown motivated him to develop a new concept called Alujo Special.
During the lockdown, he began crafting personalized songs for individuals who submitted their photos, producing these unique pieces in his studio.
He also mentioned that his journey into music began under the influence of his father, a pastor.
“I started singing because my father was a pastor”, he said.
