from the editor’sEditor desk songwriting and composition to recording and sound design to mixing and mastering.

EXCLUSIVE INTERWIEV WITH

YOMI AKATUGBA Don't Be Limited by the Gadgets you don't have The Holy Sprit is always there to help

“

”

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW Q1 What is your full name sir?

Yomi Akatugba Q2 Tell Us About your BackGround Only son of Mr. and Mrs. Akatugba, in the family of seven, having 6 elder sisters and I’m the last born. From delta state, agbarho, Ughelli north, being brought up and grew up in Lagos state.

Primary and Secondary education in Lagos state. I also had a little bit of training in music production in Lagos state after I got admission in National Open University Nigeria (Noun)... So I shifted my center to Oshogbo because my parents are there and because I did all my education in one state so I believed that am not learning, I feel like I should go round to be sure the way of life of people, to know how people live, to know more stuff because that is what is called learning. My parents also lived in Lagos but due to their work they got

transferred to Oshogbo so I had to shift my center to Oshogbo. Presently doing a degree in Noun Oshogbo on peace keeping on conflict revolution (my course).

Also have my recording studio, music production company here in Oshogbo. I have a humble background.

Q3 How Did It all began (your journey as a music producer) The journey as a Music Producer all started in church Mountain of Fire Miracle Ministry (MFM) precisely... Because I started playing keyboard there at MFM, I started off as a church pianist, so we don’t use drums, all we have is keyboard, bass and other string instruments and wood wind instruments. So we create beats on the keyboard we use it for any session of the program of the service either praise session or worship. It actually drove me to want to know more.

It integrated a passion in me to go further to learn more in music production, so I went on further to learn more in music production company in Egbeda Lagos, but not quite long I got an admission so I couldn't stay long... I got an admission in National Open University Nigeria (noun) Oshogbo, still my quest for more knowledge in music production made me meet some other good producers around like DharpsyKord (Dapo Kehinde), he’s the one who taught me. Before I meet dapo kehinde I was actually with Mr Bamidelo Lawrence at around 2015, he also put me through in somethings in music production. That was where my journey as a Music producer started Before I meet DharpsyKord cord, I started practicing and doing what I love doing best and love doing most.

Thank you...

Q4 and 5. Aside Gospel Music Do You Produce Secular music, If yes Why? If No, why?

I produce Gospel Music.

But, Generally I do good music. Example, Artists like Adekunle gold's music is termed secular but it is good Music, in terms of the content _lyrical content and the sound in general.

Same as Simi too, Timi Dakolo and other people.

So before I produce any music that's outside Gospel music, I'd carefully scrutinize its content, if it has a bad content, I'd better not produce it.

I do Gospel music Reason is, I feel I can perform better in this area, and also being a devoted Christian, I don't want anything with a wrong message coming out of my studio Q6. What is your Source of Inspiration?

My inspiration comes from the Holy Spirit.

One thing I have practiced and has worked for me is

Putting God first in every project I do and I always trust Him to inspire me in order to give the song the sound that's appropriate

Q7. Who Mentors?

are

your

Amb. Wole Oni, Florocka, Cobhams Asuquo, And also Dapo Kehinde (Dharpsykord) We have a discovered great challenge looming in the Gospel music industry, which is the challenge of producing good and standard music and still maintaining the quality of the message Gospel Music Minister intend to pass

Q8 What Can you point out as the Cause of this Challenge?

The cause of this challenge is mostly from gospel Minister's......The first thing They have to understand is that not all producers are gospel music producers.

Some are secular music

producers. And Even in Gospel music they're of different categories/ Genres. The cause of this challenge is getting the right Producer that can interpret what you have in mind... it's not just producing song. You need to meet the right person that can produce your kind of song. So the cause of this challenge is meeting the wrong person Q9. What do you think Gospel Music ministers should know in order to solve this (Is there something they are missing?

First let me point this out that some Gospel ministers don't know what they want...they only have their song.... Some have their songs ready but don't have the idea of how it should sound like... And that is where the problem starts from.... What they should know in order to solve this Is

1. WHEN you have your songs, have an idea of how you want it to sound. of course the song you received should come with a tough template in your mind. If there are other songs you can Link with it that goes the same way it's okay, like a reference.

2. Then approach the right producer... What I'm talking about is approaching the right person that can interpret what you have in mind well. For example, a Minister that sings apala song shouldn't approach a gospel music producer that is versatile in Rock and worship songs. This applies to other genres too.

Another thing is to learn to explain to the producer what you have in mind to the producer 10. Also what approach should Gospel Music Producers have towards Gospel Songs?

The approach number one is, Ask the Music Minister

what he or she has in mind on the song should sound like Also prayer is the key.... pray on the song.... stay in prayer What I do personally is to wait on God on every song... knowing that that's one way I get my inspiration.

That's one secret I'm sharing with other music producers out there....

D O G N O WAIT E H T R O F D N U O S RIGHT Because when you finally produce the beat, the sound, and you finally produced the music, and it's being send across different platforms not only will you benefit from it by getting more client's.......Not Only will the gospel minister benefit from it, also the people will benefit from it.

Because the breath of the holy Spirit will be on that song. people will be blessed. In fact, they cannot escape it they must be blessed because the

breath of God is upon it.

Another approach is to listen to others songs relating to that song the Music Minister brought...

Listen to other songs that sound like it....

Q11. In your experience so far what advice do you have for Young Music Ministers and music producers out there Part of my experience when I first started.it was a big challenge. one advice I can give upcoming gospel Minister's is to depend on God and also take steps. faith without work is Dead.

Then my first client, approach me he wants to do song although it was like i was doing it free of charge...he paid now the question is what do i have.

I have nothing... in fact I had a laptop, midi keyboard and an earpiece that has a mic that can be used to make call.... I collected the song and I made the beat... now what do I use to

record? that night I was studying the Bible, the story of Elijah and the shunamite woman, Elijah asked her. what do you have? Same thing The Holy Spirit asked me.

What do you have.... The Holy Spirit told me to use what I have...I was like they didn't use that where I was taught ooo. The Holy spirit said .it is possible.

That was when I started receiving inspiration from The Holy Spirit...The earpiece was used as monitor for the artist and we recorded with the mouth piece. so that was how I produced the song. the guy was amazed at the result.... They're the one in control not the gadgets.... I've seen a lot of producers with better gadgets and are not getting results even up to mine. The reason is their gadgets are controlling them. why do I say that?

They're carried away by the gadgets and they feel well when the gadgets are working well First advice is not to be limited by the gadgets you

have......

dEPEND ON GOD AND ALSO TAKE STEPS FAITH WITHOUT WORK IS DEAD Another is Stay with God.... the Holy Spirit is always here to help like he did for me... He brought out an extraordinary result from an. Ordinary results I have back then.

Then also...they should have someone they fall back to I have mentors and I have access to like two of them......

One of them is Mr Dapo kehinde..

Another thing is they should keep practice and not be afraid of trying new things...try new things and learn new things.

Another very important thing is that money is not everything, as an upcoming music producer if your motive of been a music producer is to get money, then it is out of it.

First do you have passion for it, passion for been a gospel music producer, if that is yes then you have conquered the first phase.

Then also try and do free jobs, when I first started I did a lot of free jobs, although it was like it’s not cool but I did a lot of free jobs. Free jobs are not a crime nobody will arrest you for it, free jobs it's just to build your capacity, to build you up, it's the process of learning so by doing this you are building your capacity and more skills, so doing free job it's not a crime, money is not everything. It is better to get it right first, if you don't have the passion then it is Failing

Q12. What else do you do aside Music production?

Aside music production I do, am into graphics design, also I do trainings for those who wish to become a music producer,

I do freelancing too.

Q13. Make Shootouts to those special to You I want to use this medium to make a shout-out to my Biological parents, they have been there for me right from time even when it does not look like it, they have been there, they supported me through prayers, financially, moral support they have been there for me, I pray God will bless them and prolong their lives in Jesus name, I also pray that God will satisfy them with long life to enjoy the fruits of their labour too. My next shout out goes to my spiritual parents also Apostle Nuel Olawepo and Pastor Mrs Nuella Olawepo, they geared me up for this spiritually, I want to thank God for them and thank them also, they are special people.

Also to Dr and Mrs Komolafe (Gynecologist and Consultant) at Ayomide Womens Health specialist hospital at Oshogbo for been there

and supportive for me morally, spiritually and every other aspects including financially they are special people to me, My shout-out still goes my fans, clients, music minister friends, music producer friends inside and outside Oshogbo, outside the country. A shout out to Star buzz magazine for the privilege to express myself. Thanks very much Q14. What can you say about Star Buzz Magazine?

Hm. Star buzz is a nice concept/idea to reach out to people out there willing know more, thanks to the management.

I must confess you're doing a great job. May God grant you more of His Grace to press on in Jesus name. #You’re celebrated.

ENIOBANKE with HAVILAH Yay! It's April Edition Again Dear Pampered queen, I am glad to be doing life with you through this medium and totally in awe of God has been doing through this segment, I hope last month's publication on friendship helped you a great deal? Keep been Intentional.

I am Havilah again and it's me like no other (winks). This month I'll be taking you through a very powerful insight which is about THE MIND POWER. It is so profound and I want you to read this with your inner eyes!

Our mind is our office and it determines our course in life to a very large extent So, your mindset can hinder you from becoming whoever God showed/told you that you ought to be.

That is why most times the you who received a vision or image is not the you who would do that vision or become that image.

There is a process between the you who God said you should be and the YOU that you have become (according to God's vision), And one major thing that the process contains is pulling down the wrong mindsets, teaching you to trust, bruising your ego amidst many other workings. So it is the YOU who have been worked on that would become the you God showed you!

So for instance, that God told you that you would be the next Kingdom Lord In the mountain of Arts and entertainment doesn't mean you are already the woman, but he is saying if you would go through process I see everything needed to take over right inside you.

So when he says I've called you to set other women on motion. Can we cool down and know the terms and conditions involved!

Remember when he was calling Gideon Mighty man of

Valour, Gideon was still so sheepish, small minded and doubtful!

Let's check this scripture Romans 12:2 (The Passion Translation) Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you, but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through *a total reformation of how you think. This will empower you to discern God’s will as you live a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in his eyes.

Now, I know there are those who sense God's call in their lives, or you're in a season where your purpose is unfolding, or you have a business idea burning in your heart or a vision. But, let's quickly talk about mindsets that can limit you as a woman.

And these mindsets have sabotaged so many great ideas.

1.Not good mindset

enough

Many ladies here suffer from this. God hands over a vision to you or tells you what he made you for and you're just like God are you sure it's me sha or maybe there's a mistake somewhere! have you ever felt like this? Like you don't feel good about great things that have been written about you?

Not like you don't like it but you look at you and you're like I don't look like it jare. You're like 'I'm okay like this' and God is like saying, 'I need the womb of your spirit to propel this strategic vision on earth now!' OH, did you remember Mary?

Now, when God reached out to Mary for partnership with her womb at that Spiritual precipice?

That lady said "let it be unto me according to your word", Mary didn't reply the angel by saying 'I'm just 14 years' or 'Joseph is a carpenter oo'.

So, let it sink into you that you're enough! Guess

what?

Do you know how many people God is reaching out to with same or similar job out there? And are saying yes sir immediately? You're not the only one called and God can't be stucked!

It is when you accept that you're enough that you can then embrace the process to becoming that woman whose voice is heard globally! When you hear globally, don’t go too far. You are as global as the sphere or portion He has assigned to you ,Selah(winks).

Queen, Who told you that you're not enough? You are enough!

2 The fear of failure mindset See, the moment you were handed purpose, that idea, that vision, that dream, everything you ever needed to fulfill that purpose was given to you instantly. Fear is not our thing in the kingdom, first and foremost!!!

Be perfected in God's love!

Yes, corresponding Grace was released the moment you were chosen to birth that significant thing for God. So your question is not God give me what to fulfill this calling or become what you said, but it is God show me where it is, help me draw it out from my inner most being! So when fear of failure comes.

Your head is telling you what if you fail?

What if no one reads that book?

What if no one patronizes you?

What if no one needs your service?

What if no one believes in your growth?

Ask yourself back the flip of the questions.

What if I don't fail?

What if everyone wants to read my book?

What if everyone wants to buy my product? Ask

yourself.

Am I the first person who wants to do something daring?

Are you the first woman who wants to start Ministry.?

Are you the first woman who wants to bring value to your world? You're obviously not! So push it!!!

You have the holy ghost who is your advantage!

P.U.S.H- What you're afraid of is afraid of you!

Remember the Children of Israel when they were to take over the land of Canaan?

Rahab said to them, your fear and terror has rested upon us, Whereas the 10 other spies except Joshua and Caleb said we were like grass hoppers before them. So the issue is Did he give it to you?

Yes Is milk and honey flowing there?

Yes Did he say it's for you?

Yes? Go for it!

3. The fear of Success You read that right!

Fear of Success, we are

so aware of the fear of failure that we don't remember that there is fear of Success. Let me show you.

Have you ever felt that of you do so well in your department at school, people will start beefing you? Or that if you so show that you're a God-Freak, people would begin to say "is she the only one?" This mindset is a crippling mindset!

That mindset that makes you say, 'Havilah cool down, you don't have to be so excellent at what you do nah'

What you re afraid of is afraid of you Don't let them reason your matter, that mindset can keep you on the average for years.

Lastly, The perfectionism mindset

This mindset says to you, don't do it now, wait till you have enough money, wait till you have a car, wait till you have a husband who would cheer you, wait till your parents fund you.

Wait! wait! wait!

Fruitless waiting! This mindset can cut your journey short!

Imagine Jael when she was supposed to bring down sisera. Imagine if she said, let me become a prophet like Deborah first.

See, it’s always easier to improve than to start a thing. So if God is saying, it is now, then do it anyway.

You might not be trending on Facebook yet but you're trending in heaven.

You’ll be that woman who they'll be saying is so aligned. Some visions have expiry date, so if he tells you to do an assignment now and you're so clear on it, please do it That woman who won't do a business, Ministry or goal because there's no 100% resource is not

YOU Two years ago, I started a Night Out with the holy ghost for ladies and it started in our sitting room and it didn't reduce the anointing, Last year we did it in a much classy venue and this year it's getting much better!

Hey dear, Don't wait till it's perfect! It might never come.

Been Resourceful is what the holy ghost can help you about. He tells you to start writing a book and you're looking at your account, can you see the book already produced and blessing lives instead. That even when you don't have all the resources, he will show you how to use what you have to produce what is needed! Don't always wait for perfect situations to execute whatever God is dropping within you Once he says go, and you go, other resources will begin to show up. I testify to this!

So Dearest Queen, I believe this column has blessed you and you'll begin to deconstruct mindsets that have held you bound from fulfilling purpose and step up into a higher version of you!

It's been a nice time with you this month, thanks for having me. I LOVE YOU! See you next month and until then Continue to shine your brightest light each day.

Father's Courier, Havilah.

Before you enter a Relationship, especially one th at will lead to marriage. Have you ever asked yourself the following questions; What's my purpose in life?

Why am I in my present environment?

Why do I have this type of talent or abilities in me?

Am I living a ccording to God's plan and desires for me?

If you are able to find answers to these questions, then finding a right partner won't be hard.

In Genesis chapter 2 vs 7 Then the Lord God formed

man from the [a]dust of the ground and breathed into his nostril s the breath or spirit of life, and man became a living being. In this verse God created man and after that he planted a garden, and put the man he had formed. Then the Lord created other great things..

God knew immediately when he created man that he needs to put him in an Environment or Society where he be able to manifest his purpose dearly.

After God as made every necessary provisions Adam needed available, he put in the Garden of Eden. Where he is to guard and keep (Gen 2 vs 15) ... He gave him cha rge and authority over everything. In verse 18 God saw the need for Adam to get a helpmeet...

But God knew he need a Helpmeet for Him to fulfill the purpose of guarding

and keeping the garden....

A Helpmeet is that special person that you must be in relationship with for you to live a fulfilled life. God then knew it's time for him to have a partner and he caused him to a great sleep (vs 22)..

The Environment or Society you are should be a place where the Lord as Prepared and Planted lots of great things for you that will help you fulfill your purpose.. And he will directly lead you to your helpmeet. Before Eve came into existence God had committed something into Adam's hand which is regarded as his Purpose.

Jeremiah 29:11 said For I know the plans I have f or you,� declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you
