Pris: Why Gospel Music?
Tolu: Gospel is who I am, if I try to do something else it won’t be Natural, I’ll be faking it. I get my inspiration from the bible (good news). So it is important to me that my source of inspiration is reflected in my music.

Pris: About your new single FOREVER”released today, What inspired “Forever?”
Tolu: “Forever” was inspired at my Worship and prayer time. I have a particular spot and place where I get lost in worship it’s a common place y’all know it it’s in my loo. I can seat there praying and reading for hours so it always has to be in good condition. And so one of those days, I was praying and worshiping just spending time with my father and there it was. I got the song first verse and chorus and I knew I had to take it to studio immediately. While recording the other parts of the song fell in place.
Pris: Should we expect a video for “forever?”
Tolu: A video-yes, later in the year I should release a video for forever.
Pris: How do you prepare for a Performance?
Tolu: I always take out time to pray and ask God what he wants for his people at that event. Then I have series of rehearsals alone, and then with my team. My outfits and appearance is usually very important to me cause that also is a ministry, representing the Almighty God that he is the supplier and caretaker of his children.
Pris: 5 things you want us to know about you
Tolu: Wow! 5 things;

- I love the relaxing feeling of facials

“I am looking to release my dual Album later in the year; A worship album and an African album. The Songs are already in the pipeline, I won’t reveal the producers yet but it’s going to be something to look out for.
And I would love to add this: We were created for a purpose and that is to fellowship with God, The act of Worship is our response to purpose therefore we thrive and flourish when we do it ” like Fish in water ” let’s keep worship flowing”
