Gospel musician Minister OJ has advised musicians on how to find a distinguished niche.

“The only time you’ll be celebrated is when you’re not in your familiar zone,” he noted, urging them to “be different!”

“If you want to assert your person and place, be different from the rest. If you do ordinary things, you’ll get ordinary results.”

“While people go right, go left. That’s the only time people will pause. There’ve been instances where I’ve intentionally made mistakes in the music to draw attention. It’s not enough to just sing and arrange a song nicely,” he said.

Recognizing God as the creator of mankind, he buttressed his point by observing that even God gives one person two feet of unique size.

Art must be unconventional and unique, the beloved singer-songwriter and composer argued.

He said, “Anytime I do something, I always make sure I’ll be distinct. Even if you don’t like me, you cannot avoid the difference I make. That’s how it should be. Be different in everything you do.”

Ultimately, Minister OJ highlighted that his primary concern when he makes music is to lead his audience to spiritual liberation found only in Jesus.

“All my songs contain a word about salvation, and I make sure of that. No matter what, I will bring Jesus into the song. I love him dearly,” he said.

He saluted the uniqueness of the Journey to Heaven program on No. 1 FM 105.3, with Taller Dee as the programme's host.

“It is only on this program that I’ve witnessed the host share the interview time with bloggers. I granted this interview because Taller Dee is unique,” the singer said.
