I Chose Afro Gospel Because I Don’t Like Being Boxed – Joseph Matthew
Afro-Greek musician Joseph Matthew has revealed the reason why he chose to venture into the Afro-Greek genre. In an interview on Citi TV’s “Breakfast Daily” with Elaine Attoh.
Joseph Matthew explained that the traditional gospel genre is circuit-tight, which leaves little to no room for innovation and creativity. As a cross-over artist who started off as a hip-hop rapper and loves to create, share the word of God, and motivate, he found the Afro-Gospel genre to be the best that fits his music style and culture.
The current Gospel Song of the Year holder, GMA-UK, Joseph Matthew, told the host, Elaine, that music has always been a part of him because his family is a music family. As a trained drummer, he has always seen gospel music as a calling for him. Even though he left music for a while, he came back to it after school.
Also, Joseph Matthew posited that the target group for his music is largely the youth because he believes they need more uplifting and positive music to shape their growth. He further explained that, as a ministry, gospel music has somehow dejected them, and he feels it is his calling to fill those gaps. He furthered that it is not only that but also that his music cuts up to all other people as well.
Having, to his credit, seven tracks with exclusively beautiful videos to them, Joseph Matthew gave a wonderful performance before the start of the show and after that.
