Popular music producer Ozedikus Nwanne has said that he abandoned the Gospel music industry because it wasn’t profitable. He recently had his say during an interview with OGHENOVO EGODO-MICHAEL, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, working with his friends who were doing secular music made him realize that Gospel music producers should be paid better.
Ozedikus added that he eventually took the step to transition because he could no longer do charity work.
His words, “The truth is, gospel music does not pay that well, especially when you are starting out. I was playing piano for a church, so I was getting paid for that. But when I got into production, I was working with friends who were doing secular music, and I quickly realised that gospel music does not pay well.
Most of the time, it is like you are doing it for God. It’s just like charity work, especially when one is not yet known. I had to go where the money was.
If gospel music had been more lucrative, I would have considered staying in that space. I was more connected to gospel music at the beginning, so I would have had more gospel artistes around me. I probably would have started there. However, most gospel artistes at the time were not recording in studios, and you need money to start those things. So I had to go where the money was first.”
WOW.
