I Took Bank Loan To Finance My Album – Baba Sala’s Daughter, Oyindamola

Singer, writer and a daughter to the late comedian, Baba Sala, Oyindamola Adejumo Ayibiowu, has said that any musician who does not know their onions cannot maintain a band. Music is not cheap but some churches don’t realise that. A musician cannot go alone to perform, they have to go with their band. What has helped me is the fact that i am financing my music career from another source. Shedding light on her current projects, she said, “I sing traditional and contemporary gospel music. I am also a researcher and development economist. Basically, i am a multi faceted person with many sides. I am currently building an ultramodern live studio. The motive for building the studio is so that i can produce regular live worship session.

On some of the challenges she faces in her career, the gospel singer who holds a PhD in Development Studies from the University of South Africa, said, “There are lots of challenges but the major one has to do with finance. And that is why i am working, so i can raise funds for my music career. Another challenge is the marketers. Recalling some of the life lessons she learnt from her dad, Oyindamola said, “It is very important to obey one’s parents even if it is not convenient. When i was younger, my mother insisted that i focus on my academics, and she discouraged me from doing music. I felt like she wanted to kill my career, but i later realised that she was right. If i did not have another source of income apart from music, things would not have been easy.
