Sammie Okposo, Tosin Martins Speak On Disparities Between Gospel, Secular Music

Artistes’ Sammie Okposo, Tosin Martins have aired their views on

disparities between gospel and secular music.

According to the duo, there has never been any competition between the

two, citing that they are both market places were money is made.

“I want to say right here, real quick that the gospel music industry is not

in any form of competition with the secular music industry, we are not

competing. We are gospel music ministers, not just artistes’ and the music

is doing very well. I am glad at where it is and you haven’t seen any

yet”. Okposo said

Tosin Martins

also had this to say “One of the

things I would use this avenue

to say is that people need to

stop seeingbgospel music as religion but as

an item, art.It’s music, so people coming to

support music should stop seeing music or who listen to it as a church

but as a market because they pay and spend money, so if we look at it

from the right perspective, we will have a different scenario”.
