Come on ladies do that swiftly. *wink*

Lol… thank you ladies! Hey CEO yspot!, what’s up?

Me good oh… glad you could make it. It’s an honor having you here again.

Thank you.

Well, you have the floor. Get to it, let’s hear about you and W4.

*Smiles* alright! I direct music. I love directing music and writing songs. I am into music production and studio engineering. I hold music outreaches through UWCAT. I write blogs and have a platform for African gospel artistes- NoizeMakerzAfrica. I hold training and capacity sessions for musicians and use both live means and social media-which is what, gave birth to W4 which stands for World Wide Web Worship.

 

ORIGIN AND PURPOSE

W4 began February 5, 2013. It started as an event to celebrate the one year anniversary of UndividedWorship Concerts and Tours (UWCAT) which started on the 5th of February, 2012 in the city of Abuja. It’s thus an off shoot of UWCAT and it’s powered by HEMEDY MUSIC CITY (HMC). Our aim in HMC is to submerge the world in God's own music.

The aim was to gather worshipers and musicians on social media and learn while worshiping. It’s TRIPARTITE in nature. The purpose of W4 is to inspire, empower and enlighten musicians, songwriters, producers and those in the music industry so that they can become better and be well positioned to be the best in their fields. W4 seeks to be a bridge between artistes and their role models, between Mentor and Protégée using social media to connect both.

Social media is a powerful tool which can be used negatively or positively. We thus decided to allow music minds and worship leaders to obtain the privilege of learning for free and with ease. The third purpose is to develop worshipers and worship leaders, sharpen our cutting edge and help men to worship effectively and better.

The 2nd Season of the event is coming up in Sept 27-28

THEME- The theme for W4 season 2 is ABLAZE- Its GMT time (Gospel Musicians Take-over) time.

AIM- We believe that it is the set time for Gospel Music Ministers to take the front-line. To take over the industry and the "the kingdom of Music" and make it the Kingdom of God. We aim through this event to inspire and "set musicians ABLAZE" so that they can take over. The aim is also to sharpen the effectiveness of music and entertainment artistes as regards God's call on their lives. We aim to reach out to millions of participants from around the world. We want to see the depth of worship and praise in our churches increase. We want to see songwriters shoot out writing songs that stem from the throne and resonates from the heavens to the heart of men having lives changed. OUR MOTIVATION IS TO SEE GOSPEL MUSIC AND MUSICIANS PROGRESS AND IT’S ALL ABOUT THE KINGDOM. IT’S STRICTLY KINGDOM BUSINESS!!!
