To what she described as her passion and what she has been doing in her tender year of age seven, even right before she started her career in broadcasting, Wemimo Adewuni– Nigerian gospel artist has re-ignited her passion for gospel music by dropping a soul inspiring single titled “I Adore”
Adewuni who has been dazzling the airwaves for the past five years is a lover of God and a deep worshipper that is committed to expanding her talents to draw more people to God said that the single is an accumulation of everything that has happened to her in the past three decades.
“The first line of the single, “A song is more than the words” is an expression of my heart and a way of expressing how God has been everything in the past three decades”
“I am where I am today because of God. I am getting better because of God. I am going to be all that I will be because of God. That’s why the title of the song is I Adore”
When asked why did it takeher almost three decades before dropping a single? The Ekiti State born artist said that it has been what she wanted to do, but time and space was not on her side though she has performed at different fora.
“Well, the Bible says time and chance happen to us all, I guess it is the right time. Everything just fell in place and coincidentally, I’m turning 30, which is a very significant age. Many people had asked over time when this was going to happen? I’ve had worship meetings which I hold in March, one is even coming up next March, but I’ve always shelved the idea. I think I was caught up in live ministration”
She said she has always been a chattered box, beingthe only girl among two boys. Talking and singing had always been there for her.
“They were means by which I could express myself. My parents were Christians and my dad is a pastor.”
“We grew up in a church setting, knowing Jesus. We grew up serving in the choir and any other place we could help. Dad and mum also can sing though not officially. One of my brothers plays the instrument. Singing has always been part of our family and it was all about Jesus”, she said
Adewuni said she would hold her dad responsible for not playing any instrument right now because she was supposed to learn the keyboard while her elder brother learnt to play the drums but ended up singing either to the keyboard or the drumbeat. “Even now that I am older, I’ve tried learning the keyboard several times, but I always end up singing. But it’s surely one of my goals in 2017. It must be done!” she affirmed.
When asked if she has any intention to go into secular music someday since that’s where the money and the fame seem to be these days, her response was as sharp as if she had been expecting the question.
“No! I will not, everyone who knows me knows I’m a Jesus fan all the way. I’m always talking and singing about Jesus and sharing the gospel through my music, so there’s no other way, and I’m by right popular enough even without the secular music. I don’t think you have to sell your message for money. If you follow the right path, you can make money with your music”, she said.
