Superstar Gospel singer, Frank Edwards in an interview with
Punch revealed that he has never planned for a music career. According
to him, all he wanted was to make music only for people around him.
”In my own case, I didn’t even have any dream. I just
wanted to do what I loved and I was okay if it was just one person that
would tell me my music touched his soul”.
‘I never planned for this; I had no idea it would be like this. Some
things would happen to some people and they would say it was dream come
true. In my own case, I didn’t even have any dream. I just wanted to
make music for people around me to listen to. I just wanted to do what I
loved and I was okay if it was just one person that would tell me my
music touched his soul. God decided to bless me and take my music all
over the world, I am grateful for it’ he said.
While speaking on the money-making aspect of music, Frank Edwards
pointed out that gospel music should not be done solely with money
motive, a gospel singer will be disappointed if the purpose of
ministration is about money.
“If you are a gospel minister, you have to know you are in a ministry.
If you are in it for the money, you may be disappointed. It is not
that you will not make money in the long run but that is not the focus,
the focus is to preach the gospel of music through your music.
When your focus is to first do something that would sell, you would
lose focus. If you want to do it for the business, then try secular
music. You need to be called to be a gospel artiste because you would
have to endure when the money is not coming and you have to wait on the
Lord and learn to use your faith. You would even be popular and you
would still be climbing bikes”. he concluded
