Ace Fuji artiste, Adewale Ayuba, on Friday urged fellow musicians to focus more on impacting lives positively in 2019 through the production of more meaningful music, loaded with positive moral content.
Ayuba told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos that negative musical content was capable of derailing the youths and encouraging all manner of social vices.
He said that projecting positive musical content would enliven their music and transform the society into a saner and better place to live in.
“I want musicians to reconsider their content; we are all like the Pastors or Imams.
“We should make sure our music conveys good morals for the listeners to imbibe.
“Musicians should bear in mind that most people take us as their role models; so, we should lay good examples for them to emulate,” the Fuji exponent said.
Ayuba called on musicians to evaluate the impact of their music on listeners in the past years, saying that the impact of such works must be positive on the listeners, before a musician could be considered successful.
According to him, music is supposed to edify the spirit and soul, not to corrupt individuals.
He advised musicians to tone down on the use of vague and vulgar languages and obscene videos in their future works, to make them more acceptable and respected by their fans.
“Music is meant to edify the spirit and the soul.
“We should also try as much as possible to avoid projecting obscene views in our musical videos, because what people see lingers longer in their memories.
“Vague languages should also be minimised,” the artiste said.
Ayuba said that his musical libraries would go digital in 2019, to enable his fans to listen to his lyrics and watch the video clips of his music through different social media.
“Next year will be great for my fans, because they will be able to access my music on different social media platforms.
“Some of my past music, which cannot be accessed on social media platforms, will be made available next year,” he said.
He appreciated his fans for keeping faith with him, and promised to impress them more in the coming year.
“I really appreciate my fans for keeping tabs on me. I want them to know that without them, there would have been no me.
“I appreciate their criticism, encouragement and love. Next year will be a better year for us all,” he said.(NAN)
