Babatunji Dada

Happy Thursday to you all

I cannot wait until saturday to witness the union of titi and nathan. May the lord's name be gloried.

Sometimes last year, my choir master picked me up to go worship. On the way to church, he played a CD and said the artist was his elder brother. I was marveled at the first track because I had not heard the "talking drum" in a while.

I fell in love with a particular track titled He'll see you a through. To quote a few words from the song

"What is happening to me? Why am I feeling this way? Is there someone out there who cares to know just how much I'm hurting? In spite of all my pain, I know God's still there. Why should I forget his promise to me?....."

He (the artist) then goes on to talk about how God will see you through regardless of how tough the situation is... just powerful.

The artist is Babatunji Dada

short form Tunji Dada- an accomplished pianist, songwriter, audio engineer, music producer and artist. He was born and raised in the oil rich (5th largest world producer), West African nation of Nigeria. Nigeria is the most populous black nation and one of most culturally diverse nations in the world. He started out his musical career in 1985, when he became the teenage church pianist/organist. His first musical mentor was his father, who was then the local church's choir director/conductor.

Since then, he's had many opportunities to teach, direct and accompany many musical groups. He always been passionate about developing people, an attitude that made him leave positive influences on the people he's worked with. Tunji produced his first album in 1992, he has since had the opportunity of working with many artists in Nigera and in the UK.
