notes

TUNDE ALAOYE (Omega Gospel Productions Int'l)

INSPIRED GOSPEL SONG WRITER, COMPOSER & VOCALIST

I was born in the UK in the 60’s, into a Cherubim & Seraphim family and grew up in a Christian home. My father was a minister and my mother a teacher and very strong woman of God.

My grandmother played a prominent role in my growing up and taught me Ekiti language fluently from a very young age. She was not educated but full of wisdom and rich in traditional folk tales that carried moral and cultural lessons with them, which has strongly influenced and truly inspired the Nigerian/African flavour in my music.

I strongly believe in embracing the wisdom of our elders and teach our children African heritage and languages, the culture, and the values of our African heritage, knowledge that is otherwise unrecoverable. As an example, I am proud to say that living in the UK, my wife and I speak Yoruba to our children at home and they are now both very fluent at it.

From a very young age, I developed a strong sense of self and a clear identity of who I am in Christ. I was called into music ministry at a very young age and have played an active role in Gospel music ministry in the church making a wide variety of music to bless and feed the children of God. I thank the lord for his blessings and his Grace.

Growing up, we were a privileged family that enjoyed living and growing up in Christ, in peace and family prosperity, but like everything in life it was not always perfect. All glory to his name. I also played a strong lead role in my father’s businesses from my early teenage.

I have been strongly influenced by classic songs by incredible musicians like Sunny Ade, Ebenezer Obey, Orlando Owoh, Fela Kuti and many more. My family and I grew up enjoying and being inspired by their songs in our home. I have had a lot of support from many very good and genuine people. Only God can truely reward them for their part.

Music production and ministration present me with an opportunity to process my emotions and celebrate various aspects of my relationship with Christ. I use song writing to further understand the Christian journey. My debut Album – Good Tidings (Irohin Rere) is a demonstration of this.

In these songs, I am celebrating the goodness on God through celebration the union of Marriage, from the birth of Christ through to his resurrection, Praise, Prayer and sharing testimonies of God's wonders, all packaged in rich cultural music heritage. More importantly demonstrating the genius in our traditional African Culture. The ultimate aim is for others to be abundantly blessed and to ensure they see the world around them with gratitude to the almighty God.

My heart has always been in music! What inspires most in this ministry is the satisfying feeling I leave people with during my Live Performances and the joy of their souls being blessed. Putting a band together and gaining acceptance as a musician takes time, consistent effort and strong commitment.

My vision is to put my best into every ministration, performance or production and stardom, wealth, acceptance, etc will follow God willing.

I have applied my business experience in managing my music productions, marketing, and distribution on my own label. This is an ongoing challenge, and not an easy road, but the grace of God enables and empowers us.

I am inspired to sing Gospel Music in several languages. Many year as a worship leader and performed in concerts in collaboration with a wide variety of artists. Very diverse music compositions, unique style, excellent quality production and music arrangements.

'Good Tidings' (Irohin Rere) Album is an inspiration from God almighty through Christ Jesus and a dip, into the well of inspiration he has given unto us. The lord will bless you as you purchase listen and enjoy his message.

Performed in both English and Yoruba, my songs are loaded with messages, complemented by unique lead and backing vocals, quality use of African percussions complimented with rich multiple guitar and piano harmony.

My work is recorded in analogue format, to capture the natural rich sound that goes into the production that mirrors a live performance and transferred to multi-track. I believe in this old fashioned approach to recording. This keeps the feeling on an album fresh, original and you can hear us all in agreement amongst rich traditional percussion instruments.

This approach makes the music style fluid and unpredictable, the inspiration clean and fresh, hard to categorise or duplicate and lively. This is the well of inspiration that the lord has blessed us with.

God is a happy God!

  • Absolute Gospel !!!
    author: Olusegun Ogunsakin

    This is awesome and will birth great things in the Kingdom.

  • Annointed gospel music with a professional and creative touch ......
    author: Biodun Adeola (New York)

    This Album is clearly very different and in a league of its own. A refreshing combination of traditional and contemporary style music. Full marks for excellent quality production. More importantly, all the lyrics are 100% about edifying the name of our lord God. God bless, Biodun

  • Gospel at its finest........which has been a while
    author: Gbemisola Oteju

    My uncle gave this album to me as a gift and I cannot thank him enough for it. After the first listen my initial thought was 'Yeah its good' but after the second and the third and the fourth (should i continue?) listen i know its more than good. Its absolutely brilliant. I don't really listen to gospel but this has changed that. I can't stop singing 'Ojo Ayo'. My favourite bit is 'What are we celebrating' (those who know the song know what i'm talking about). The great thing about the album is that it mixes so many styles and influences but Tunde Alaoye's voice and style suit them all and make them sound fantastic. You can listen to the album in the car, while cleaning the house, in the bath (heck you can listen to it anywhere). My advice is HURRY UP AND BUY IT!

  • In short this is more than "Excellent and Perfect"
    author: Lady B

    Highly recommened for friends, families and especially for couples. Track 3,4 in short all track are awesome , i can't wait for the video production.stay blessed.

  • Super CD! Fresh and Original
    author: Dele Alaoye

    Good Tidings is incredibly versatile and uplifting music for all occasions, the lyrics and beats are absolutely brilliant. The music is original, flawless and the production quality is excellent, my personal favourites are Tracks 2 and 3. This CD is a must have for everyone especially if you love good quality African traditional gospel music. Highly recommended.

  • It is original and highly inspirational.
    author: Banke Sutton

    Like I said it is original and it also inspires one towards the Creator. It helps and encourages you to praise God. If you sabi dance, go on soun. For the Artist, well done and more grease to your elbow.

  • Lyrics are "Captivating" and "Refreshing"
    author: Theodore Awani

    The album is very refreshing with a very sweet and calming voice that pierces your heart. All the tracks speak to you personally and reminds us all of our key purpose to continue to glorify GOD. Tunde's album reminds us of this truth especially when you listen to Nigbakan Ri and Ojo Ayo. The music and the lyrics transends all and definately keeps you hooked!!! especially my favourite track *Ogun Aye mi*

  • Uplifting!!!
    author: Sunmi Staveley

    From when I heard the first song, I knew it would be an album that I would play over and over again!! Uplifting and inspirational collection of songs that are especially nice while driving. I believe this is just a snapshot of better things to come and I wait expectantly..

  • No other word than PERFECT
    author: Prince Bayo (1st Link Media UK)

  • Now, bak to tha lab
    author: Gabs

    You're blessed and highly favoured; it'a no wonder everyone loves your work. In my opinion, this brilliant and influential compilation still insuffeciently reflects your prolific potential. Thus, i eagerly await the second. Gabriel.

  • This album is the buz! My favourite is Track 2 (K'ayo Ko Yo)
    author: Kelvin Ayobami (England)

    I think track 2 is the best, because its a superb piece with creative use of percussions and horns. I also love Tunde's unique vocal style. Very melodious and different...

  • This is wonderful! Fantastic lyrics, the music just sound sweet....
    author: Itunu Ayomide Michelle (UK)

    I think this CD is the number 1 gospel bomb. The artist and back-up singers sound so smooth and sweet. I have seen the band live and on video... superb instrumentalist. The songs are just absolutely wonderful!

  • Spectacular, Superdupper Music! I love Track 3 'Gospel Oldies'
    author: Christyanne (UK)

    These songs are all excellent! I like all the songs in the album and I dance to them everyday. Nice voices, beautiful sounds. Track 3 - 'Gospel Oldies' is my favourite. I also love track 1 - 'Ojo Ayo'. Hmm....and I wish I could sing like him.

  • wonderful songs
    author: segun awoyemi

    this is no doubt the best christian music of the year,a mixture of message of salvation and hope well delivered with entertainment,full of rich African percussions with mordern touch. I am taking the cd along for my honey moon.

  • An excellent work by a genius. Time well invested.
    author: Olaniyi Akingbogun & Family

    The music demonstrates creativity and inspires people to listen to gospel music. It is a combination of raw and modern genre of music.

  • Great!!!
    author: Fehintola Kayode

    The vocals on this abum are spectacular, the tracks are made for one to dance to and feel. This album is indeed a work of art and i am very much inspired by it.

  • Excellent work all round, Praise the Lord
    author: Pastor Yomi Kayode

    Well recorded and excellent mix of instruments; backing and lead vocals. It is difficult to believe that this is the first album of Omega Music. I have the cd permanently in my car, hence can't stop listening to it. Many people have gone to buy the album having listened to it in my car. I particularly appreciate the message of salvation in Track 4.

  • Wonderful songs,l enjoyed this CD very well.
    author: Ade Olotu

    The songs in this album are well composed to bless those who love to rejoice in the spirit at all times as commanded by the Lord.

  • Prepare to be uplifted to HIS presence
    author: Sam

    The music is wonderful, excellent composition; it is both soothing and uplifting, The dramatic mood of the music is conveyed perfectly with his mix of classical and afro-percussions. No wonder the tracks are used in Revelation TV. Great cd !!! It is food for the soul

  • Ravishing to the ear and soul as it is food for life
    author: Samuel Aruleba

    The music “Irohin rere” (Good Tydings) makes one to remember and appreciate what ravishing music could do to promote joy and happiness in peoples’ lives. David was quoted in the bible as one that always illuminated Saul’s live in times of sorrow and sadness. Also, music becomes the anatomy of celebrations and thanksgivings on God’s fulfillment of His promises in one’s life. IROHIN RERE is certainly the one music that offers everything and cuts across different socio-cultural borders. It is food for life.

  • Spectacular Afro-Percussions and strong potrayal of African gospel music...
    author: Kelechi Ify (London)

    It has been a priviledge to be part of this 'Good Tidings' album production. The concept of this music is unique and different to other music in general. I believe it is destined to make a great impact now and in the future as well as in the lives of many. It is also an encouragement and inspiration to other African artists. My favourite track is 'Ojo Ayo'(The Wedding Song), because it promotes unity, love and peace in relationship between husband and wife........

  • It's a Blast - Holy Ghost Jam
    author: Oluwayemisi - (Nottingham UK)

    To say I enjoy the music on this CD is an understatement. I love everything about this CD. I love the clean production- that is not typical of a Nigerian Album. I love the lyrics - meaningful, message-packed and glamorously presented using very innocent but professional back up voices. You cannot afford not to love the music at the first sound of intro. It is fantastic!

  • My Best is Track 2 - K'aye koyo
    author: Mope (Leeds, UK)

    Though this album might not be the best to everyone in the world, to me it is the best. It is soul soothing. It is a mix of the Rex Lawson and Crosdale Juba topped with Egba tunes. How did Tunde get to package this track in such an embodiement of Christmas-everyday. It's surely the best. I cannot stop listening. This is the best.

  • Wow! Can't stop listening
    author: Olusegun (Triumphant Singers)

    Many times I have been let down by the poor work of Nigerian gospel singers who rush to the studio with no clear messages. Being a singer and a writer myself, I can only say this album is a winner. Track one is the best Marriage song I have heard from the gospel singers for a long time. Best for the occasion. Great lyrics, powerful voices, undiluted talents of instrumentation, superb arrangement and worldclass mixing. It is surely WOW!!!

  • The Best Style in African Gospel
    author: Vic (USA)

    Not until you have followed the Nigerian gospel music for a long time could you really appreciate the quality work in Good tiding. This is the best thing that has ever happened to Nigerian gospel music for a long time. The creativity, the originality especially track one, the use of words and the backup singing are second to none.

  • Sumptuously appetising and spiritually awakening message of soul redemption.
    author: Sehinde Aruleba

    Good tidings came at a time the world is experiencing unfamiliar sorts of plagues. It shows that we still have a way of praising and glorifying the lord even in times of trials and tribulations. Apart from the embedded melody of this song, the artist sumptuously enriched and uplifted our spirits with kind of messages that are capable of permanently cutting the jugular of satanic vices in our world. The music is spirit friendly. A must for all.

  • Feel Good album. Blesses your soul
    author: Eddie Adabs

    Good Tidings is a refreshing album that proves second to none. Excellent gospel music and head-nodding and toe-tapping beats! I thoroughly enjoyed it.

  • Capivating album that makes you move for Christ!
    author: Esther Kayode

    Every once in a while I come across an album that captivates me and I have to say “Good Tidings (Irohin Rere)” did not disappoint. In fact the album is not only captivating but is also exceptional and distinctive amongst all others in its genre. With tracks like Ojo Aya (which is a must at weddings) and the Gospel Oldies with their funky and upbeat African beats you can’t help but dance and sing along wherever you are and whatever you’re doing. Although this album only contains five tracks, it exhibits the unaffected talent that Tunde Alaoye undoubtedly has so I recommend you do yourself justice and purchase Good Tidings (Irohin Rere) now!

  • This album has blessed my soul, more of it.
    author: Lanre Olotu

    This album has made me to rejoice at all time before my creator thus has helped me to be in the presence of my Lord.

  • Very creative music. You stand out amongst 1000's of artists......
    author: Fred Morrison (USA)

    I am a musician myself, hence these comments.... Powerful, meaningful lyrics, quality lead and back-up vocals. Unique dance music arrangements. "I love the horns setup and creative use of strings and piano harmony in track 2". An AWESOME! 5Stars for overall music production.

  • Powerful gospel lyrics, Fantastic party music, Excellent percussion and drumming
    author: Ayo Fayemi (NGR)

    It was a priviledge to meet you recently. The kind words you said to me still ring in my mind and keep me going. You also said this is your Debut Album.

  • The best gospel album I have heard in a long while!
    author: Tolu Kayode

They show the power of God's love and the celebration of His love. The artists has shown a range of lyrical skills throughout the album and his love for the music.

  • meaningful, good, enjoyable and upbeat
    author: Ajibola Oyedele

    This cd has been thoughtfully constructed. Its upbeat tunes invites people to get up and dance. It also puts you in a thanksgiving mood.
