I had the privilege of not just meeting but was hosted in Abuja by the multiple award winning gospel music producer and founder of the Music Empire Sunny Pee and his beautiful wife who is also a renowned gospel music artist.
Meeting and interviewing these great personalities and celebrities was indeed a blessing and an eye opening occurrence.
Today, I'm going to share the interview section of the dream and career of Sunny Pee.
How he made it this far in life and bringing to fruition his major dream The Global Music Empire into what it is today despite the many challenges faced.
I know we all have dreams we want to see come to pass but are faced with major challenges such as ridicules, mockeries or criticisms that tend to make us want to give up on our dreams and visions.
Some have given up, some are at the verge of giving up while some others like me 😊 are still holding on strong.
Whatever your case may be, I believe reading through this interview with Sunny Pee by God's special grace can help you pull through.
If he did it despite all the challenges faced, you too can. If God did it for him, He will also do it for you as long as you hold on and trust only in Him.
Below is the story behind the glory as explicitly given by Sunny Pee himself.
WHAT WAS YOUR LIFE LIKE AS A CHILD GROWING UP?
Sunny Pee : Normal regular kid like the normal street kid. Go to school, come back, play football, play with other kids. Nothing special about my child hood.
HOW DID YOUR PARENTS INFLUENCE YOUR DECISIONS INTO WHAT YOU ARE TODAY?
Sunny Pee : Hmmmmmm, my parents.. My father was a disciplinarian. If that man disciplines you, you are dead. But one of the things I learned from their discipline is that it helped me to stay focused.
My dad is that kind of person that if he tells you to do something, he doesn't care how you do it. All he wants is result.
And sometimes, when he tells you to do something, you know, then being a child, you won't know how simple it is or how easy it is because you are a child.
But from a father's perspective, he knows that this thing is easy, you can do it. So When he tells us to do something and we tend to tell him "oh this thing is not doable or its impossible" he would say do it.
And until you do it, he is not satisfied. His satisfaction is in your ability to do the assignment.
So, my father was a very strict person that helped me to stay focused. Unlike my mum, though she too is strict but my dad is more strict.
One of the influence they had over me was the ability to stay focused. When I pick up some thing do, until I'm done with it, I don't rest.
SO TODAY, WE CAN EASILY SAY THAT PARTICULAR TRAINING OF BEING FOCUSED, IS WHAT IS HELPING YOU TODAY IN YOUR CAREER.
Sunny Pee : What? It is something I learnt from childhood and not something that came along the line.
When I want to do something even as a child, if I don't do it, I won't rest. Even if I make up my mind to want to play football with other kids, if my father likes, let him come and kill me, that football, I must play it that day.
And my father did not like all these street football thing. My dad is this type that wants you to be indoors. When you come back from school, just stay indoors just as my kids do.
But when you are indoors and you are hearing other kids shouting oya score oya score and you are indoors peeping through the windows seeing them play football.
But any day I make up my mind to play football, I would be like if them like make them kill me, I go play football.
There are days my dad will come and catch me and beat me but I will still go out the next day to play the football.
WAS YOUR DREAM AS A CHILD DIFFERENT FROM WHAT YOU ARE DOING NOW?
Sunny Pee : (Laughs) I wanted to be a lawyer from primary 5. Even in J.S.S.1, when they ask us to write down what we would want to be in the future, I always wanted to be a lawyer
And my dad also wanted me to be a lawyer. The day he found out I wanted same, he was excited and happy.
I was still forming lawyer lawyer till J.S.S 3 when I started liking music. I dint really like music for a career. I still wanted to become a lawyer.
After my W.A.E.C, I still wanted to be a lawyer o until I discovered that e be like say this law thing no dey work.
I started developing passion for music from J.S.S 3 but never knew it was something I was going to do for life. I just thought it was one of those things I love.
I loved to see people play music and see people perform. But after secondary school, the lawyer thing changed and music took over.
WHAT MADE YOU GO INTO GOSPEL MUSIC PRODUCTION AND NOT THE CIRCULAR TYPE?
Sunny Pee : Hmm.. okay.. Actually, I didn't really start as a gospel music producer. I loved music generally and produced anything music as long as you have money until twelve years ago, that was 2008/2009.
It got to a point where I had to divide the line. My wife and I then we were still dating and she would always say to me "This circular thing, try stop am"
But I will be like, you can't understand. This is where I'm surviving from. I can't just change what I am doing because somebody is being sentimental. Thinking she was just being sentimental because she is the chuchy churchy type.
Also, then it was the circular guys that use to pay o. The gospel guys did not really have money even till today, not all of them have the money.
I use to produce circular music real time. I use to produce top circular guys but something happened that I had to decide "Is it about the money or about fulfilling purpose?
One day, I was just playing in church while my pastor was preaching but stopped somehow maybe probably I was tired but he turned to me and asked "Why did you stop? Don't You know that your hands are anointed? Till today, I never forget those words.
As soon as he said it, I continued playing, then I heard a voice say "There is something you carry. There is something about what you play that you shouldn't be doing all these baby baby songs."
And the words she (Kate Pee) use to speak to me started ringing in my head like she was there saying, you see what I was talking?. So that day, I made a vow to God that I wasn't going to do circular music again.
I got back to the studio. When circular guys come around, I would tell them I wasn't doing circular music again until I became broke.
I then said to myself that there is no difference between circular and gospel music. I will just produce both after all no be me dey sing am.
So, I still went beck to producing circular music until when I got married, I think few months before I got married I just told myself, look you have to get to that point where you decide what you want to do.
I was telling myself, standing in front of the mirror "Choose ye this day whom you will serve. If you want to do circular, go into full time circular and leave gospel for those who are doing gospel."
It got to a point where I was not finding fulfillment in just doing anything. But thank God, the mentors I had then were people who were only doing gospel so it really helped me to make up my mind but it wasn't easy.
It was a battle I fought for four years because the first four years of that decision was the worst moment of my life but I'm glad I did.
And the reason why I did is not because I want to be one self righteous person but because I discovered that the grace of God upon my life is beyond doing all those circular stuff.
I HAVE SEEN AND HEARD YOU SING SONGS. DO YOU SING TOO?
SUNNY PEE : I used to sing
DO YOU WRITE YOUR SONGS?
SUNNY PEE : Yes I do
SO YOU NO LONGER SING?
SUNNY PEE : Not really, ehm.. Like I said earlier, anything I want to do, I put my whole life, my energy and my everything into it.
Sometimes I sing. Like in church, I do mostly praise and worship but singing as per studio recording or a recording artist is more like a distraction to me.
Because if I go into music, I'm gonna put everything within me into it and when I do, it means this aspect which is the production is going to suffer.
BUT YOU DO LITTLE COLLABORATIONS HERE AND THERE
SUNNY PEE : Yeah I do.
THE GLOBAL MUSIC EMPIRE HAS BEEN A DREAM FOR A LONG TIME FOR WHAT IT IS TODAY. HOW LONG HAS THIS DREAM BEEN?
SUNNY PEE : Hmm...Ayayayaya...Global Music Empire actually started in 2006 right? (asks Kate pee) but started as a partnership with my elder brother.
I was actually working in a studio here in Alaita when I had issues with the wife of the owner of the studio so I had to leave.
When I left, I did not have anywhere to go to and I did not want to go back to Kaduna where my family house was so I had to go to my elder brother's place.
And while at his place that was when the dream came. I had actually wanted to have my studio but I did not have the financial power to do so.
So he said he had some money he wanted to invest and asked if we can do the studio together. He would bring the money while I do the production and labor which we agreed upon and started.
But you know, when you invest your money into a business, you expect returns. So he was expecting returns and the returns were not coming as expected because it was a new studio that we just started.
How much was I even collecting? Then I was doing just #1500 per track but he was expecting every week I should be cashing out but the cashing out wasn't forth coming as expected.
I was the one that even practically making sacrifices to get some things done. All we had then was just a computer. No keyboard, no nothing so I was the one making sacrifices.
I would go for programs, get some money, buy some cables, extensions and other things. But he felt, "Oh! na the money you dey get from studio wey you dey carry buy all these things. If not, how will you go for a program and they give you money and u will use it to buy all these things?" He could say all these because he wasn't always around.
And I said no, one of the things I had learnt in life and I learnt it early was accountability. Even the former studio where I was, if my former boss was still alive or better still, his wife is still alive. There is no day she would ever say I did a job and did not remit money.
In fact, even jobs that I did when ever they traveled because they always traveled or in their absence to burning CDs for #100 I will keep the money for them.
There was a day they traveled and they were suppose to come back on a Saturday but they did not come on time.
Somebody came to burn 7 CDs which was #700 and they did not leave food for us when there were going on the journey.
That money would have bought food for us all because the boys in the studio were hungry including me. Hunger almost killed us.
So as soon as those seven CDs were burnt, one of the guys said "oya thank God money don come, make we go chop"
But I said no because I was the one in charge of the studio, I said look, this money is not our own, it's oga's money.
When they come and thank God they are coming today, so if we give him and he says take go and eat, fine but if he collects it, glory be to God .
And when he came, I gave him the money. I told him, somebody came to burn CDs and the cost is #700. He was like "oh! thank you" and collected the money without giving us anything.
And it never made me feel bad because it wasn't my money in the first place. So I told my elder brother that I wasn't that kind of person but he said no that money is not coming into the studio the way he expected it to and now he wants to go back to school and really needs the money.
I actually understood with him that he needed money and I told him honestly I can't push or bring artists to come and join in the studio neither can I force artists. I can only work as we do and all that.
One day, he woke up and said he was no longer interested in the partnership. He dismantled the studio because we were using his room. I was squatting with him then so we used part of the room.
He dismantled everything down that day and brought everything down as in brought the whole studio down.
And the little things we had gathered money to buy, he was going to sell them and I pleaded with him to sell them to me but he said no that he wants money to pay for his admission.
I then went to my pastor and said to him that please I need church to borrow me some money. I want to buy equipment and I explained to him and he said no problem, church will give me salary advance and they gave me.
I was able to pay him part of the money and when it was time for me to get a place, I told the church too and they gave me the money I needed to rent a studio.
Actually, the vision is speaking. I always tell God, the kind of studio I want eh! is where my studio will be in front and my house behind. I din't even know how it's going to happen.
Then we did not even have a land. Like four years ago, I would tell my wife, when we get money, the way we are going to build the studio in a big land where we would demarcate the gate into the house from that of the studio and today it's a reality.
THE STUDIO IS A DREAM COME THROUGH ALREADY BUT DO YOU STILL WISH IT GOES HIGHER AND BETTER THAN THIS?
SUNNY PEE : Of-cos,
Kate Pee : this is just an introduction.
SUNNY PEE : In fact, I was telling my wife some days back that in three years time, I will be moving out of this place. She was like Amen.. that's it.
You see, one gift God has given me is the gift of Kate Pee. You know, it's one thing for you to have a vision and another thing to have a partner who believes in that vision.
There are times I say some crazy things and she will just say Amen. You know, some people would say it's not possible o.
This is not the end point for the vision. Very soon we are leaving this place and I will leave this place for my boys.
My second son has been saying, he wants us to go to Canada and I strongly want to believe that my next move will be Canada. The next Global Music Empire is going to be in Canada and not Nigeria.
I ACTUALLY HAD A QUESTION TO ASK IF YOU HAVE EVER THOUGHT OF RELOCATING FOR THE SAKE OF THE BUSINESS.
SUNNY PEE : Yes! You know in Nigeria, music especially the gospel music doesn't really thrive.
Most of these guys you see do gospel and are actually making millions, its not actually from the music. A lot of them have other businesses they do.
I was privileged to speak with Frank Edwards last week and he shared a lot of things with me. I discovered that their wealth is not just from music. They have businesses they do and other things they invest in.
So, the idea of relocation for me, there are three places in my mind - Canada, U.K or U.S and this is due to the fact that, I discovered of recent that my client base is more of the U.K and the U.S than Nigeria. I produce more people from the U.S and U.K than from Nigeria.
So, relocating to those places will actually help my business better, help my ministry better and I would never close down Global Music Empire in Nigeria, never. It will always be here because Nigeria is my home.
I will always come home no matter how long I stay there. Even if I move with my family, I will still want to come back and spend at least a month or two and go back.
ME : I will come over there and interview again (Laughs).
SUNNY PEE : That's what I'm talking about
WE ALL KNOW THAT FOR EVERY DREAM TO COME TO REALIZATION, THERE WILL ALWAYS BE CERTAIN CHALLENGES. WHAT WERE YOUR OWN CHALLENGES?
SUNNY PEE : One of the major challenges everybody has is the challenge of finance. I use to tell people, if you have money, you have solved 90% of your challenges because, if you have money, you won't be looking for who would support you.
But when you don't have money, that's when you will start thinking oh! this person was suppose to help me o but he did not, that person promised to help me o but did not and so on.
If I tell you how many people promised and gave their words when we started this project saying we are going to help you but did not.
It got to a point where I told God if you don't do this its you that would be ashamed o and not me because I had shared and told everybody that God is going to this.
It is not my business but his business and God did it. How He did it I don't know but He did.
If I have money I don't have problems because working is not a challenge. For instance, I've been here (the studio) since yesterday and the only time I got to sleep was this afternoon for 45 minutes.
The major challenge I've had is the issue of finance if not nothing more. If you have money, your vision is a work over.
I was telling God the other "God, with the little I have, see what I have done. You know if you give me more, I will increase it."
If I had money, I would have bought the land in front of me too. In fact, would have bought the whole place and build an estate.
Me : And name the estate, Global Music Empire
SUNNY PEE : Yes very soon, I'm going to build a global music Empire estate. It might not be a massive estate but I don't how God is going to do it because I have been saying this for a long time now.
And its not going to be for rent but to give people to live in such as young music ministers and instrumentalists who play in church and are committed to it.
I have started it already. The person living in my house in Kubwa is living there for free.
IT IS BELIEVED THAT TO HAVE A SUCCESSFUL CAREER OR BUSINESS, IT TAKES LOTS OF WORK. SO, HOW MUCH WORK DO YOU PUT INTO THIS?
SUNNY PEE : I put a hundred percent work especially now that the studio is close to the house. I use to work with hours but now I don't work with hours because I can wake up in the middle of the night and come to work.
I can wake up in the morning and come to work. I work practically a hundred percent
HAVE YOU EVER HAD DOUBTS OR FEARS CONCERNING YOUR DREAM OR VISION?
Sunny Pee : Hmm... so many times. Even till now, I still have some doubts
HOW DO YOU COPE OR WHAT KEEPS YOU MOTIVATED AT SUCH TIMES?
SUNNY PEE : What keeps me motivated is seeing how God has brought me this far and I say to myself "if God can bring you this far, don't you think He can take you farther?"
I got to that point where I felt can I this thing work? While we were building, I sold my only car and that car was one of the most treasured things I have.
You know, as a man, there is something that gives you ego and you feel at least I'm not less of a man especially in this society where we find ourselves in.
After selling that car I was like, am I sure I made the right decision? but one of the things that encouraged me is seeing how far God has brought me.
And I get the enthusiasm that the God that brought me this far, will take me farther so I just keep pushing.
It was just one of those days I said to my self that I have to build this thing. I had to let go because I believe in my vision.
HAVE THERE BEEN TIMES YOU'VE FALLEN LIKE MADE MISTAKES OR FAILED?
SUNNY PEE : Plenty times. So many times. See, even during this building, I made lots of errors that I'm still trying to correct.
But one of the things I never do whenever I fall is to remain there. The next moment, I've moved.
Once I realize a mistake, I try to correct it and move on. I don't dwell on them. Even this structure we are sitting under, there are lots of errors. I correct the ones I can and the ones I can't, I leave it and move on.
HOW DO YOU STAY FOCUSED AND WHAT STEPS DO YOU TAKE TO STAY FOCUSED?
SUNNY PEE : One of the things that make me stay focused is the fact that I know what God has told me concerning this project.
The seven days prayer and worship we did here, I know the kind of prophecies that came forth and I know what God told me personally about this vision.
So even when it's not going the way I want it, my eyes are on the prize. I just know that look, this is the vision. It might not look clear now but I know it will speak.
There was something I learnt one morning. I woke up and was trying to look and focus on something but I awns't seeing clearly.
I was struggling to read it because I just woke up but wasn't seeing it. So, I gave it time and my my eyes gradually cleared and I was able to read it.
Immediately, My mind or the Holy Spirit because I don't know, said to me "If only you can be patient, everything that looks impossible will become possible". And that has been my driving force. You see this building, na focus o.
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN EMBARRASSED OR EMBARRASSED YOURSELF?
SUNNY PEE : YES.. let me share one.
One of the most embarrassing moments in my life was the day someone wanted to feature Solomon Lange and the person brought him to the studio. That was some years ago.
And when they entered the studio, the whole place was smelling because there was this gutter in front of the studio that is sometime messed up from up and water comes down and settle.
When they entered, the whole place was smelling he spoke in Hausa saying "looking at how the whole place is smelling. In fact the guy doesn't even know how to produce, so why did you bring me here?"
ME : Who spoke in Hausa?
SUNNY PEE : Solomon Lange. I was so embarrassed that day and I told myself that this thing will never repeat itself again. So I made conscious effort to make sure that gutter never stunk into the studio again.
Hmm One other most embarrassing moment in my life was the day I went to Kingsley K 's church to play keyboard and I was introduced as the guy that produce "Lion of Judah", and the best producer etc.
I was playing keyboard for the guy that introduced me to Kingsley K and after the ministration, Pastor Kingsley then raised a song.
I did not know the song and I was trying to play. He then told me "Play it on key c" and I said "I'm playing it on key C" He said "No no no.. don't worry, leave the key board."
After they had introduced me as the producer of an award winning song (Laughs). I came down from the alter, without saying a word to anybody, I went straight into the car and left.
But one of the things I have learnt is that those embarrassing moments don't last forever. They are temporary.
One of the things I do consciously is that if anything goes wrong, I make sure, the next time I have an opportunity, you will never get that negative impression again.
FOR INSTANCE, LIKE SOLOMON LANGE, I HAVE SEEN HIM IN YOUR STUDIO AGAIN.
SUNNY PEE : Yes, I produced 13 tracks in his last album out of 16 tracks.
AS A RENOWNED MUSIC PRODUCER, HOW MANY AWARDS HAVE YOU WON?
SUNNY PEE : So far I think I have won four awards such as Abuja something something award, best producer of the year 2018, 2019 and 2020. These are basically four awards I have won.
I have also been nominated for several awards. Some I did not want to participate because some of them were along side some of my mentors which required voting and I wouldn't want to be in a competing position with them.
I would have won the awards if I had gone ahead because to a large extent, I have a social influence. For instance, I was nominated for Maranatha Award but I declined because one of my mentors was also nominated.
There were also other awards I was asked to pay money but declined. If the award was on merit, I won't need to pay so I declined. I would rather give myself an award if I want one than to pay to get one.
SOME SONGS YOU PRODUCED HAVE ALSO WON AWARDS. HOW MANY OF THEM AND WHICH ARE THEY?
SUNNY PEE : Plenty of them. "Something More Than Gold" has won Maranatha award as the best adoration song. "Ekweme" has won several awards in Nigeria, U.K and in the U.S.
"Lion of Judah" has won several awards. The last award that was won for the song was given I think a hundred and fifty thousand dollars for the song.
"You No Dey Use Me Play" has won several awards. There is this song " I See Miracle" by Tracy, based in the U.S has also won several awards and the Maranatha award as well.
A lot of them have won awards. Even so many artists that are not so popular like Blessing Chigozie, have won awards.
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THESE AWARDS, PERSONAL AWARDS AND SONGS PRODUCED?
SUNNY PEE : Hmm. Yeah, it feels so good you know? To get to that point where I see people appreciating what I do. It feels good.
It shows, success is speaking. And I am one person that don't take accolades for things but rather give God the praise and glory when these things happen because it's a privilege.
Some years ago, I never knew that I could produce a song that will be on the street talk more of winning national and international awards.
WHAT DO YOU THINK MAKES YOU UNIQUE FROM OTHER GOSPEL MUSIC PRODUCERS?
SUNNY PEE : The Holy Spirit
WHAT'S THAT ONE INGREDIENT THAT YOU THINK MAKES AN IMPACTFUL MUSIC? BECAUSE IT'S ONE THING TO MAKE A GOOD MUSIC AND ANOTHER TO MAKE AN IMPACTFUL MUSIC
SUNNY PEE : Inspiration from the Holy Spirit. Once the Holy Spirit inspires you, you are good to go.
My prayers these days is telling God that I want to leave the realm of producing good music but an impactful music.
Music that in the next 20, 30, 40 to 50 years will still be making impacts. Music that when people are playing and listening to the songs, the deaf will hear, the blind will see, cancer disappears and so on.
So each time I produce music, I ask the Holy Spirit to give me that sound not just for entertainment but sounds that even in the hospitals, people will play and migraine will disappear.
It is a secret and it is only the Holy Spirit that can give you that secret. It's just like Coke, if you ask them the secret, they will never tell you.
I heard of a wine company in the U.S that it's secret is passed from generation to generation.
How did the first person get the secret? It was an inspiration. So, that is what I'm telling the Holy Spirit to give me that sound and music that when people listen to it, miracles will happen.
HOW DO YOU COPE WITH ALTERING CERTAIN CHANGES YOU MAKE WHEN AN ARTIST COMES TO YOU?
One of the grace God has given me is that most of the artists I work with listen then the ones that don't and insist on how they want it, I don't persist. I just make corrections or suggestions.
The truth is, I might not be right even in my trying to correct you. But most of my artists are receptive. So when I suggest, they listen.
When I work with people, I always like to bring out the best in them. Except when I'm tired. My principle now is that when I'm tired, I stop for that time because when I'm tired, I can't give it the best.
WHAT HAVE BEEN YOUR MAJOR SACRIFICE FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR VISION? I KNOW CAR IS GONE ALREADY
Hey! I have sacrificed a lot o. Aside the car is my family. There are times that my kids, once I enter the house just as you have seen, they rush to hug me because they hardly see me.
There are times I feel the pain and just want to be there. My son Bryan yesterday after we strolled out and came back saw me going back to studio and asked
"So are you going back to the studio?' I said yes, I want go and finish the work at hand. Perplexed he still asked "Ha ha! is it every time you are working?"
WHAT MAJOR LESSONS HAVE YOU LEARNT IN THE PURSUIT OF YOUR VISION?
Never trust any man and never plan with promises made to you by men (speaks in tongue and laughs).
I never trust any man when it comes to my vision. Don't build anything based on man's promises.
If anybody promises to give you ten thousand naira, just assume the person won't give you.
WHAT'S YOUR FUN TIME LIKE OUTSIDE THE STUDIO?
Hey, do I have fun time? The only fun time I have is when I go out to play music.
I also love to watch movies but I don't have the time to watch movies. If I'm not producing music, I'm sleeping. So should sleep be my fun time? (Laughs).
But I'm trying to create at least a routine where I can have time to spend with my kids.
IS THERE ANY OTHER TALENT YOU FEEL IS USELESS?
SUNNY PEE : Football (Laughs). I love to play football but don't have the time and my belle don big now
WHAT'S YOUR ADVICE FOR UPCOMING YOUNG MUSIC PRODUCERS ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO LOOK UP TO YOU?
SUNNY PEE : My advice is, have a plan . If you don't have a plan, every other thing will look like a plan to you. But if you already have a plan and an idea of how you want it to look like, then you can start working on it.
I don't use to listen to Nigeria music o because my idea of music was different and had a plan of how I want my music to be in the next 2,3, 5 years.
Like now, I already have a plan of how I want my production to sound which I have started working on and already seeing results.
That was the reason why I went to Lagos last week. I did not go to have fun with Frank Edwards but to study something and with the 6-8 hours of lectures I had, I am beginning to see improvements.
For instance, I have a plan of what I want to do and how I want my music to sound which I have started working on.
I went to Lagos to study something and with the little to 6-8 hours lectures I had, I can see lots of improvement. So, have a plan and stick to the plan and you will see it work.
Before, the only music I listen to was that of West life and I'm still going back to that routine because it's like a routine to me. After all the running around and work, I still come back to that place to get some good sound.
HOW ABOUT YOUR ADVICE TO YOUNG ARTISTS ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO MIGHT NOT REALLY HAVE THE FINANCE TO PURSUE THEIR DREAM?
SUNNY PEE : I usually feel for the young artists and that is why, every month, since I started this place we select two artists we produce for free without contracts and we have produced four artists for free so far.
The truth is, They too should learn to make sacrifices for their dreams. One of the people I have produced here for free came here with two phones. One was iPhone and the other an android phone.
And you say you don't have money to do a song yet you have an iPhone and an android phone. While not sell one and and invest in your dream. Tomorrow, you will buy phones as much as you want.
Why did I sell my car to invest in my studio? because I know a time is coming that any car I want to buy, I will buy.
But for now, I can't go telling people to invest in a vision I am not ready to invest in. All the people that have supported this vision and project supported it because they see how I invest in it and how serious I am about it. Frank Edward is buying an equipment for us that is worth over three million and giving us as a gift.
Why is he doing this? Because he came here and saw every effort I'm putting in. In fact, one of the things he said was that I have inspired him with the kind of studio he wants to build in Lagos.
What am I trying to say? Look, you musical ministers, learn to invest in your craft. Don't always wait for people who would give you free things and do free things for you.
You will see someone buying and wearing shoes of 25 to 30k. It's not like these things are not good. They are good but there are times you don't need them.
For instance, if not for my wife, the highest shoe you will see me wear is 2000 to #2500 and when I wear it, you wearing that of 30k will still ask me where I bought mine.
There are times for these things. There were days I use to buy expensive things like buying suits of 40-50k but now, 50k will give me four hundred and fifty blocks to put into the studio because I have a target and can not afford any luxury now.
Next post will be on his marital life with Kate Pee.
