Compliments of the season are in order because I’ve not been here since last year. I trust your year has been nothing short of beautiful.
This week I had the privilege of doing an interview with a one-time colleague and friend while I was in the University, Oluwaseyi Olusegun, he is a very skillful and talented drummer and he is also an excellent Music Producer who runs his own brand, Samsol Productions.
In this podcast I asked him few of the questions I always like to ask everyone I interview but a little different in some ways.
Oluwaseyi’s music life was majorly influenced by his family, at age 3 his dad who is also a music guru got him a drum which meant the whole world to him, he constantly played with it as a form of unconscious practice.
This act helped his musicality grow. He spoke of how his church was also a major influence in his music life especially in the excellence of delivery of music, sight-singing and so on.
From my conversation with him, it’s clear again that the family and environment is a major influence in the likes and dislikes of a child.
Of recent I had a conversation with someone who spoke of how easy it is to get a child to learn music and sports at a tender age and how it can improve other areas of learning. I found Seyi’s childhood story one that further emphasized that in this podcast.
Not to dwell long on this, he shared with me how the music activities he engages in has healed him at different times, ranging from playing the drums to song writing to Music production and one thing that stood out for me in this conversation is the fact that In our healing lies the healing of others and in the healing of others lies our own healing. It simply means that everyone must definitely find themselves giving and receiving music in one way or the other whether you see yourself as a professional or an amateur.
I wouldn’t want to make a too wordy documentation of our conversation, so check up the rest of this life-inspiring and enriching podcast here👇
