Samsong -- "You Must Be Born Again To Sing Gospel Songs"

Popularly known gospel singer, Samsong in a recent interview with daily independent talked about his singing career, issues relating gospel artistes and why he is into only gospel music.

The Delta state born singer resigned from being a banker to embrace full-time music.

According to him, he has no regrets going into gospel music. "Music for me has been interesting, particularly as a gospel musician. The passion to do things fro God has kept me going as a gospel artiste.

"Before you can become a gospel artiste, you must first and foremost have to be a Christian. It is not just a music thing it is a lifestyle thing. To be a gospel artiste, you must be born again and must be living the life of the gospel. You can’t be a gospel artiste and not be born again, it is contradictory and that is double-standard," he said.

He added that music is his calling and he does not see himself leaving music for acting, though he has done some stage performances in the past.

"Acting is something I just love to do. I only act in Christian movies and movies with good moral values," he said.
