Nigerian contemporary Christian singer, Frank Edwards, has shared his experience working with internationally-acclaimed American gospel singer, Don Moen on their join EP titled Grace.
During a question and answer session with his fans on Instagram the singer who doubles as a producer revealed that Moen was greatly impressed with his work and gave him the music project to mix in Nigeria. Edwards took the opportunity to advise artistes to evolve in their craft.
“When I was working with Don Moen on the Grace project, he booked Blackbird studio in Nashville which of course you know Nashville is like a music city a lot of studio and musicians live there you know,” Frank Edwards said.
“When I came in from Nigeria with my files; and hard drive because I started the production in Nigeria and when they heard my sound…. At that time I worked on that sound I didn’t even have the equipment I have now in the studio. And they were wondering how I made it, if I had a massive studio in Africa.
“Well long and short of the story, we finished voicing and they had to give me the audio to come back to mix in Nigeria. When I finished Don Moen said it was okay, I mean and then we released it. I have greatly improved even after then because I am always working on myself.
“Listen it is pride to come to a point where you no longer need to learn more; and now know it all saying ‘I am the greatest’. See the day you say that is the day you start to go down. If you want to remain up you have to be forever upcoming.”
Speaking on why he named his latest Extended Play (EP) Anglican, the award-winning singer said that it was a deliberate decision, to honour his father.
“Since I moved to Lagos and started attending a pentecostal church a bible believing church; my dad has always frowned at it why did you leave the Anglican Church where you were born,” he said.
“And he had been on about it; of course when he started to see the result in my life he started soft-pedaling. It was now like he was 100 percent okay with it. So I thought okay for his sake I am going to name this EP Anglican. I just wanted to make him happy. That is the reason why I named the EP, I wanted to honor my dad.”
