Music gives a
soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to our imagination and life to
everything, only if we understand the concept behind it because music is food
to the soul and nourishment to the mind. These are the words that came to mind
when I listened to the songs of new up-and-coming gospel lyricist. Officially named
Babajide Oluwakayode but music christened him Kay –perhaps the short form of his meaningful name- a graduate of Accounting from the prestigious University of Lagos –it’s
no longer Maulag, much thanks to those who defended the rights-.
KAY, an indigene of Ogun State met with BackYardstudio
recently and we had a little chit-chat
about himself and his passions for gospel music.
Excerpts:
BYS: Why have you chosen music?
KAY: Well, I didn’t just choose music, music
has been a part of me, music is my calling, I function best in music and that’s
really what I have been called to do. Presently I work with a management
consulting firm and also running a partnership with a friend in the same field,
presently running my post-graduate in Accounting, Unilag. But, ultimately in few years I hope to devote my all to music.
BYS: How many singles do you have to your
credit?
KAY: I have released two singles. One is
titled ‘Ko seni to dabire’ and ‘My everything’ featuring Kemi Odutola
BYS: Do you have any album yet?
KAY: Not at the moment, we are still working
on releasing singles then thereafter the Album will come by God’s grace.
BYS: What musical instruments do you play?
KAY: I play Drums professionally and a bit
of the piano
BYS: What is the source of your inspiration?
KAY: I give all glory to God. Na God o. Being
in an atmosphere of good worship and good sound inspires me a lot because I get
most of my songs during worship.
BYS: Who is/are your music icon?
KAY: Well, a whole lot of them but I will
mention a few… Sonnie Badu, James Fortune, Marvin Sapp, Kim Burell etc.
BYS: If not music, what would you love to
do?
KAY: Nothing!!

KAY: Not at the moment

media ID's?

BYS: This question is just a teaser…..If you
were running a race and you passed the person in 2nd place, what position would
you be?
KAY: 2nd place…. Lol

giving us the opportunity to chat with you and we look forward to having your album soon.
