A gospel musician, Kushimo Gideon Oluwatosin Tolulope known
as Divine Bass has released his debut album entitled ‘Ope Lo Ye.’
The all-praise instrumental album is also on Itune, Spotify,
Apple Music, Amazon and Google Play.
Speaking with our correspondent on how he found himself in
music, Divine Bass who is also a Justice of Peace (JP) said, “At the age of five,
I was able to identify the tune of bass lines while listening to music despite
the fact that I could not figure out the tonic sofa. The most important thing
is that the tone of bass guitar in a song motivated me so much till I grew up
with a passion to play it.
“The fact that my father was a singer in the 70s singing
secular juju in the streets also influenced me and all his children to play one
instrument or the others. He encouraged any of us that has an interest in music. It
is also interesting to know that my background is from the white garment church
where we challenged ourselves on each instrument. Back then we only had drum,
keyboard and percussion instruments, despite this, I had no interest in any of
those instruments until bass guitar arrived,’’
According to him, another thing that helped his career was
the fact that his sister fiancé was a circular musician who used to keep his
instruments in their house. For him, that was where it all started. He added
that every one of them chose the instruments of their choice while no one
picked bass guitar because it peels finger as a learner.
What bolstered his love for music was when he joined Redeemed
Christian Church of God. His words: “At Redeemed I have pictured myself to be
an icon in the National Praise team. With God on my side, it came to reality in
2016 after graduation from the Bible College in the mission.
“Before I have played for many gospel artistes and also those
in circular music before I gave my life to Christ and that decision changed my
life for better. I have been through many challenges and God has seen me
through and to him I give all the glory for taken control of my life.”
In his advice, he urged all upcoming gospel musicians to be
focused and get ready to sacrifice for greater tomorrow. He added, “humility is
the key so, be ready to learn by listening to corrections. Keep your head straight, be confident and surrender
yourself to Jesus Christ who will change your life for good.”
