NOTJUSTOK/MINO MUSIC REWARDS GOSPEL ARTISTS WITH 15,000 DOLLARS IN SONG OF GLORY CONTEST

Five Upcoming Gospel Artists were presented with 15,000 dollars in Cash Prizes from NotJustOk.com via its Mino Music App's first online Gospel music contest - Song of Glory - a platform created to support the Gospel Music Industry by the renowned Music Company.

This music contest, which was open for gospel artistes, was an offspring of the rebrand of Mino Music from Mynotjustok. 

Present at the press conference, which took place on Tuesday 5th November, 2019 at Oriental Hotel, Lekki Lagos, were members of the press, the Founder and CEO of Notjustok Inc; Ademola Ogundele, Nigerian gospel artiste and Notjustok Music editor Nikki Laoye, all five winners of the contest and some industry figures. 

The 5 winners who were selected after a strict process of sieving through about 1000 entries across Africa are; Olayemi Lajuwomi 5th place won $500, Emmanuel Owoicho 4th Place won $500, Kenneth Okpor 3rd place won $1,500, Maxwell Rock, 2nd place won $2,500, and Kuro Jeremiah who took the grand prize of $10,000. 

The Song Of Glory Online Gospel Competition called in for entries in January 2019 with over a 1,000 contestants from Africa uploading their music on the Mino Music App.

The selection and judging process ran till August and the final 5 were chosen based on their Creativity, Originality, Lyrical Content, Overall Appeal. 

Speaking about Mino Music ‘Song of Glory’ Contest and the future of Gospel artistes in Africa, Ademola Ogundele stated that while the gospel industry could arguably be the biggest music genre in Africa, it is the least commercialized and monetized and there is a great need for that to change. He went further to state that;

“The music business has changed from 5 years ago where Nigerian artistes depend solely on live shows. Now artistes are plugging themselves into the streaming platforms that are making billions of dollars a year and lucky for us, Afrobeats music is now globally recognized and diaspora is listening and paying for the content. This is something the gospel industry should also tap into...Continue to spread their music on these various monetizing platforms available including Mino music.” 

Massive congratulations to the winners of our first Song of Glory Contest.

A big thank you to all the press and media houses, Nikki Laoye, our team at Mino Music and NotJustOk for all their effort and hard-work which added to the success of the Mino “Song Of Glory” contest and press conference . God bless you all!!"

The Mino Music Song of Glory Contest was created to encourage and empower upcoming gospel artistes and while the winners were being financially empowered, with gratitude, they all shared their various inspiring journey throughout the competition and how such a contest in gospel industry is an encouragement to many of them who believe they don’t get the deserved attention.

Nigerian Gospel artiste and Notjustok Gospel editor, Nikki Laoye who was present at the press conference talked about the great support she had received from Notjustok since the beginning of her career and also laid strong emphasis on the need for Gospel artistes to promote their songs rather than always waiting for churches to call them as special guests to perform as that is not a sustainable way for them to grow.

Check out pictures from the event.

MUSIC: JOY PANAM - HEART CRY

Nigerian Gospel Artist & On-Air Personality (Naija FM, Lagos), Joy Panam has released the soothing new single, Heart Cry, produced by Sleek Amo

Speaking about the new single, Joy Panam shares: “It comes from a very deep place in my life..About two, three years ago, I had come back from work in the morning, then I used to run the night shift..before getting home, I had cried and complained to God about areas of my life that were not working out.

Then I slept off and I had a dream singing the chorus of this song, it was so beautiful and melodious, I can never forget..

When I woke up, I kept hearing the melody of the song, immediately I recorded the chorus and sent it to a dear friend Pere Davis, he was able to help me reconstruct it and sent it back to me. When I heard the readjusted version, I knew God had given me a song…God was telling me that HE IS everything I wanted and needed before any of my dreams and desires…that’s how Heart cry was born…

We desire a lot of things, we have huge dreams which isn’t bad, it’s great to dream and desire good things….but at the center of all our desires, wants and dreams is God who is everything we need”
