Sonnie, whose hit songs include Baba, Covenant Keeping God and Wonder
God became the first African artist to stage a performance at the
Wembley Stadium, where he just took thousands of patrons by storm with
his electrifying performances.
On his thought on secular music, Sonnie said, ”Love songs are good, in
Heaven there are Angels of love and it all rest on the lyrical content
of the song. You can’t be having an intimate time with your spouse and
just be playing gospel songs. There is absolutely nothing wrong with secular songs, it all depends on the lyrical content of it.”
He advised that if a musician wants to breakthrough into the
international stage, it is very important to seek mentorship and attach
oneself to the older generations and learn more stuffs from them. He
expressed his profound gratitude to Musician, Guitarist, Keyboardist,
Engineer and Multi-instrumentalist, Kwame Yeboah for his mentorship and
guiding him through and through.
Sonnie also described his wife, Ann-Marie Davis as his best friend,
prayerful, beautiful, religious and just all-in-all wife. For now,
Sonnie Badu has a radio station, 5 different clothing lines, and a school. He is also an estate developer, and he revealed that he has written books, he produces magazines and he will be opening orphanage homes very soon.”
He ended the interview by advising the upcoming musicians not to deceive
themselves that they are stars just because they get likes on social media
platforms and that they should really worked hard and seek mentorship.
He hastened to add that once someone conceives an idea, that person is
capable of achieving it and that one should imagine, perceive and
achieve the idea.
