STYLE & dsign THISDAY Styl Vol. 22, No. 8634 Sunday, Dcmbr 16, 2018 Stvi Wondr, Mical Jackson, Bobby Brown tc. vry arly on. To somon wo s nvr ard your music bfor, ow would you dscrib wat you bring musically and wat your sound and styl is? Bing compard to Sad, Asa or bing calld t Fmal Stvi Wondr or T Nigrian Alicia Kys ar all major complimnts for m. Tr s dfinitly a strong lmnt of soulfulnss in my music bcaus tat s t kind of music I rsonat wit t most. Combining my voic wit piano playing I guss also maks m diffrnt. Wat I d lik to b known for t most owvr, is tlling storis troug music. I lov t fact tat storis intr-wovn into music is a powrful way of bringing popl togtr and making popl fl lss alon. Do you av a crtain pilosopy or stratgy rgarding composing? Wn it coms to writing, I don t rally av a formula or stratgy. I just try to stay in t momnt and try to b in as many inspiring situations as possibl. Bing outdoors is probably t on plac I gt a lot of cool idas for songs. Tat and bing on t tradmill! As a composr, I gt influncd by vryting; lif, books, cultur, TV, politics, social cang, lov, frindsips tc. T ky is to b as prsnt as possibl and as onst as possibl too. Studying Film Music Composition at Brkl Collg of Music also taugt m about bing patint wit a story and allowing t situation unfold in its tim for t rigt music, words, mlodis to flow. Composing sould nvr b forcd. Lt s talk about your sow today? Wat ar w to xpct? For on nigt only, Kaliné Liv At Cristmas is a 90-minut uniqu liv music xprinc. Joining m witin t sow ar my good frinds Isaac Gralds and Fmi Ly. I v also got som otr spcial gusts prforming wit m. W v got a full production cast of dancrs, a coir, and an imprssiv 10-pic band. I ll b singing original songs cristmas songs, covr songs (lik my gospl vrsion of Assuranc by Davido *wink wink* - cck it out onlin). Evry singl momnt as bn carfully tougt-out to dlivr a string of uniqu xprincs. You ll laug, you ll cry, you ll danc, you ll tink, you ll b inspird rigt troug tis sow. T ligting, visual ffcts and also t costuming ar all dtails tat you wouldn t want to miss itr. On of my drsss is bing mad by Toyin Lawani... wait till you s it. Ek!! I can t wait. Tis sow is a culmination of about mor tan 40 rarsals and my tam and I can t wait to sar it all wit you as w usr in t Cristmas sason. Going forward, do you intnd making it an annual vnt? Absolutly. If tr s on ting I lov t most, it s prforming and I aim to continu my montly sows nxt yar as wll as a final concrt at t nd of t yar again. Wic of your works as mant t most to you, itr for its prsonal significanc or t impact on your carr? l tink Bring Tm Hom and t impact it mad in crating awarnss for t Cibok Girls Tragdy a fw yars ago is still a significant momnt for m. I rmmbr writing t song sortly aftr t abduction was announcd on t nws. My intntion was to do somting anyting tat I could towards t story. Bing so far away in Nw York lft m sort of lplss so I wrot it to lp wit sprading t word about it. T song was vntually usd to kp t convrsation going rigt troug t first yar. It was playd vryday for a yar on a fw radio stations and popl wr ncouragd to dial in and just talk or pray for t girls rigt aftr t song was playd. It just provd to m tat tr is so muc powr in music. Songwriting for social cang will continu to b a major avnu for m to xprss my opinions and crat awarnss for lss talkd about storis in our local communitis as wll as around t world. How would you dfin t powr of music and wat is t mssag you aim to impart troug yours? Bcaus music is a univrsal languag, I bliv tat as songwritrs, it s a uniqu privilg w av to sar maningful storis tat can rsonat wit our listnrs. Music to m is about bridging gaps btwn popl, communitis, nations tc. Tlling storis is a grat way to rmind popl tat ty r not alon in wat ty fac, it s a grat way to tac, it s a grat way to ntrtain and just mak popl fl good, laug, danc. Music is a tool for community building - somting w dspratly nd in today s socity. Wat s your biggst struggl as a musician in Nigria My biggst struggl is gtting popl to undrstand wat it taks to put on a liv concrt, t amount of work, rarsals, tougt, crativity, tim, nrgy to pull it all off. Wit tis sow tonigt, w v workd vry ard and I op tat vryon wo coms tonigt will apprciat all tat w v put in. Liv music xprincs ar fw and far bttr witin Nigria but I can dfinitly s tat t industry is volving and vry soon it will bcom t norm just lik in most parts of t world. How would you dscrib and rat t Nigrian music scn at t momnt? I m vry xcitd about wat s appning in t music industry.
