Listen/Download DON'T GIVE UP By Oluwa Samuel

 what inspired the song and how was the production process?
Oluwa Samuel : The reality of things in Nigeria, the hardship, suffering, the insecurity in Land inspired me to write the song. It's a song of hope and motivation ; to revive the Nigerian people. I produced the song myself. Recording the song was a bit challenging because the song is of a country music genre, so I needed it to have a African feel. The guitar was played live, with no sequence. In a nutshell, i actually mixed and Mastered the song myself.

 ATJ: That's a good one. What inspired you to go into music and how has it been so far ?

 Oluwa Samuel : I have been singing professionally since 2004, I used to sing in a live band then, we go for shows,we do recording projects. In 2008 i  join a voice of salvation mass choir ,where I functioned as their Alto singer,. at the same time in my Church choir i was helping  the church choir win music competitions and  that was how i got to build my self.
In 2010 i 
took a break in the music scene, i wouldn't really call it a break anyway, because i was still in the music circle. I had to learn a Craft in sound engineering , which also helped me understand the production process of music. I have been learning more about the music industry in Nigeria of recent, because talent is not enough.

 ATJ: Talent is not enough ! That's a truth. so who is Oluwa Samuel when he is not an Audio Engineer or an Artist. what else do you do for fun?
