Music 🎶
My first ever experience of music was Northern Soul. I would be around 9 years old in the “Care System “ as my mum couldn’t cope with us. My sister and I went to Holly House in the hills far away from “home.”It was pretty alright when you got used to the routine you had to follow. They had a converted Garage as a dance disco common room. And this was my real first memory of soul and Jazz. You can’t hurry love by the supremes was my favorite, as I had met a boy ( I know 9! I was infatuated) All my childhood if anything happened with my mum going out and us not knowing where or when she was to return would be a “Grunt “ from my stepfather that she had run away with a blackman. So I had been brought up to believe Black people were Bad. I had never met a black person until I went to Holly House and when I was dancing and singing to my track You can’t hurry Love , I swear my feet left the ground at one point. Northern soul and Jazz you couldn’t pull me away from it.

Every Song A Memory. Top Story - May 2023.
If I said my life were not defined by music, I'd be disingenuous to the medium that has shaped the artist you see sitting here at her kitchen table in a cut-off t-shirt, tattooed, watching my pet make her slow and arduous recovery. Music has held me together from my earliest memories, has been a guide to my identity, has been a vent for my outrage, and has been my road home. I don't have a collective discography of cohesion. Every melody has come into my life exactly when I needed it. And this last week I needed it more than ever.

THE INFLUENCE OF BROKEN/PIDGIN ENGLISH IN NIGERIAN MUSIC
In our relentless pursuit of progress, we often overlook the origins of certain phenomena. Communication, a vital aspect of human evolution in various domains such as life, business, and education, deserves contemplation. In the early stages of human existence, music served as a means of communication rather than solely for pleasure. Bells, drums, horns, and human voices were employed to transmit messages across great distances.
