KSA’s ex guitarist and gospel
musician, Segun Shobayo, aka Shegesho, has jetted back home for the release of
his debut album entitled I Command My
Hands To Praise The Lord, which should be released into the Nigerian market
soon.
Commenting, the multi
instrumentalist whose music career began at the age of 10 at the Cherubim and
Seraphim Church, Lagos, said that he was overjoyed that at last his debut album
would hit the Nigerian market: “It’s taken quite a while to record and I can
assure Nigerians that this is a gospel music album with a difference. I am
overjoyed; in fact it’s a collectors’ item.
“As a Christian and a
disciple, my debut album is entitled I
Command My Hands To Praise The Lord. That is because it is our duty as God’s
children to praise The Lord no matter the situation in which we find ourselves
because we owe Him that much and even more,” Shobayo added.
A graduate of Marketing
Management from LASPOTECH with a Masters degree in Information Systems from the
University of Maryland, USA, Shobayo’s passion for music started at age 10 when
he joined the choir of Cherubim and Seraphim Church, Oshodi, as a
drummer. Later he played the lead and Hawaiian guitar
and featured in the Best
Selling album of the church entitled Oke
Mimo.
As a consequence of the
success of the album, Juju maestro, King Sunny Ade, in 1995, invited him to join
his band where he was lead guitarist between 1995 and 2000 before he relocated
to the US
Among others he has
closely worked with Acts like Sunny Neji, Lagbaja and Swing Pawpaw among others
and has performed on stages across the world including countries like the US,
UK, Australia, Paris, Belgium and South Africa.
