Nigerian Artiste Timi Dakolo has denounce claims that He is a gospel Musician.
He pointed out that his style of music is diverse, emphasizing that he cannot be boxed into a particular genre.
The Iyawo mi’ crooner spoke in a recent interview with Cool FM Nigeria, Lagos, hosted by OAP Dotun.
The host asked:
“People kind of categorize you into gospel. Are you a gospel musician?”
Dakolo replied:
“I am not, by any chance. I always say to people, Is there a gospel banker or architect?’ It is you that decided that is what you want to do. Art is art.
“I am just an artist. In fact, I am not an artist; I am a creator of art. You cannot box my music into a particular genre. I am much more than a wedding singer. Great Nation’ and Wish Me Well’ are not wedding songs. If you listen to my new album, you are going to hear that my diversity. Men Of The South’ is a song about cultural pride.”
He added that he performs at gospel events because he is a Christian.
