Born in the city of Benin, western Nigeria as the 3rd of many siblings, Lulu realised his love for music early (Age 8), largely influenced by legendary artists such as the Jacksons, new edition, boyz II Men and Stevie wonder. He says his ability to sing came naturally and as such he recognises the fact that he has been given this gift as the key to fulfilling his PURPOSE.
However it was his transition to becoming a Christian in August of 1994 that marked the turning point in his musical history, from singing in choirs, to being one of the founding members of the Nigerian Gospel group Positive Change notable for their uncompromising lyrics and soothing sounds reminiscent of Gospel greats such as The Winans, Commissioned and Men of standard.
Lulu’s musical abilities transcends exercising his vocal cords as he is responsible for penning some of the most heartfelt , hard hitting songs ever written , clearly evident in his debut single titled ‘Hope Again’ which was released globally on itunes in December of 2012 . Indeed he fits the biblical metaphor that says “You make my tongue like the pen of a ready writer” (Psalms 45:1).
Songs I write are aimed at two things; to stimulate minds and change hearts.Essentailly; we must be instruments of positive change for as long as we are able to breathe. The music is just my own way of enforcing that change!
As a person I have been largely influenced by Jesus – the love and compassion he showed to the world at large remain a big part of who I am and what I do… not just in the dedication of my life to him…but learning that until we begin to show that love too, we haven’t really tapped into the meaning of true Christianity.
