I pioneered Ife Mass Choir in 1994 and also pioneered and directed ‘Gospel Music Extravaganza’, a Quarterly Music concert held in Lagos, between 1998 and 2004. The Institute of Christian Music and Research Centre, a self-sponsored research outfit was established since 1998. I organized and directed ASAPH National Christian Music Workshop/Concert (an Annual event) between 2001 and 2007. In 1992, I composed the popular ‘A! ni ipinle Osun’, a Yoruba song waxed as a track, still played on Osun Radio till date.
