Renowned Nigerian gospel musician Frank Edwards has touched on some vital issues regarding the gospel music ministry as a profession.
In a very recent interview he had, Frank Edwards disclosed, that his motivation for doing music is not money or wealth.
According to the popular singer if one wants to make money, by doing gospel music, then the person will have a lot of issues.
“There are so many reasons. Firstly, you have to understand that the industry and ministry is not the same thing. Gospel music is a ministry, the other one is an industry, so it functions fully like that. The gospel ministry is totally different from the secular industry even though you might say that there is a business side of it which makes it similar.
But in gospel ministry, the business aspect of it is never the focus. I tell people that if you want to make money, don’t do gospel music; you would have a lot of issues. Gospel music means one is reaching out to people through music; the others are strictly entertainment or at least 70-80 per cent entertainment. ” He said.
