“If everyone sang gospel, our world would be boring” – Laolu Gbenjo
Gospel artist Laolu Gbenjo has dropped his two cent on why he believes on genre of music is important.
He revealed in an interview with Channels Television on ‘The Morning Brief’ that a world with only gospel music would lack excitement, highlighting the need for different types of songs to match various occasions.

“I started singing because my father was a pastor”, he said.
