Gospel
music’s pioneer disc jockey, DJ Gosporella, is on the cover of the November
‘Deejays Edition’ of Vine Magazine, the entertainment and lifestyle magazine
for young positive minds.
According
to ‘Seun Salami, Editor of Vine, this edition is “dedicated to celebrating disc
jockeys who represent an aspect of Christian entertainment that doesn’t usually
take the front row but is just as essential and praiseworthy as the artistes
and performers.”
DJ
Gosporella shares the story of his metamorphosis from the secular DJ Alfred
Campbell to DJ Gosporella over a decade ago and how the decision to leave the
nightclubs to become a gospel deejay took him three years to finally accept
even after according to him, “hearing God’s voice clearly.”
The
forty-eight year old disc jockey also took a retrospective look at his career
over the last ten years as a gospel DJ and the last twenty-seven years in the
industry, saying there is simply no comparison between gospel and secular
music, referring to the former as “the higher life”, while advising gospel
music ministers and artistes about the best way to place value on their music
in order to command commensurate financial value.
This
edition also features ‘the new deejays of gospel music’, represented by the
likes of DJ Acube and DJ Express IT who speak about their foray into gospel
music deejaying as well as the prospects and challenges of their chosen
careers.
