3. GIL JOE
Name: Gilbert Joseph
Age: 22
Special Skills: Singing, Songwriting, Music Production, Fashion
In 2013, Gil Joe made his entrance into the Nigerian Gospel Music scene with a debut single titled “Elshadai”. The song was produced by Frank Edwards who had just signed him onto his Rocktown Record label at the time. The sound was fresh. His passion for music could be felt from a distance. It was clear he was ‘not from around here’ in that his songs had that undeniable mainstream appeal.
When I first heard the song, I remember telling myself “This boy is the future!” Well, it’s 4 years after, and Gil Joe has grown to a very mature songwriter, singer and more importantly, a top notch producer.
Like he was on a mission to put things straight with skeptics, Gil consistently dropped singles from time to time, reminding us it was never a fluke. With an album (Maturity) to his credit, a few music videos and numerous singles that have blessed thousands and his ever improving production skills, Gil Joe is certainly growing to be a major force in music ministry.
Gil Speaks: Well, I believe strongly that my Music is unique and strong enough to go Global even though it presently has been gaining international grounds in major Countries like “France, United Kingdom and the USA”.
I believe more can be done, most especially to the younger generation. I look forward to gathering souls as many enough to fill up a Stadium just like Pastor Chris Oyakhilome… Where the Gospel of Jesus is ministered in the modern sound way and souls are won in large numbers.
Influenced by: Frank Edwards and Sinach
