Sonnie Badu Says There’s Nothing Wrong With Secular Music

Multiple award-winning gospel musician, Sonnie Badu on ‘Hanging out With KOD’ over the weekend disclosed that he started commercial music at the age of 25 when he was an estate agent, and at a time that things really turned sour for him. He added that his family is into music (his grandfather and dad) doing music himself didn’t come as a surprise.
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.
