Good Tidings (Irohin Rere) by Tunde Alaoye

From a very young age, I developed a strong sense of self and a clear identity of who I am in Christ. I was called into music ministry at a very young age and have played an active role in Gospel music ministry in the church making a wide variety of music to bless and feed the children of God. I thank the lord for his blessings and his Grace.

Growing up, we were a privileged family that enjoyed living and growing up in Christ, in peace and family prosperity, but like everything in life it was not always perfect. All glory to his name. I also played a strong lead role in my father’s businesses from my early teenage.

I have been strongly influenced by classic songs by incredible musicians like Sunny Ade, Ebenezer Obey, Orlando Owoh, Fela Kuti and many more. My family and I grew up enjoying and being inspired by their songs in our home. I have had a lot of support from many very good and genuine people. Only God can truely reward them for their part.

Music production and ministration present me with an opportunity to process my emotions and celebrate various aspects of my relationship with Christ. I use song writing to further understand the Christian journey. My debut Album – Good Tidings (Irohin Rere) is a demonstration of this.

In these songs, I am celebrating the goodness on God through The celebrating the union of Marriage, the birth of Christ through to the resurrection, Praise, prayer and sharing testimonies of the work of God all packaged in rich cultural music heritage, and more importantly demonstrating the genius in our traditional African Culture. The aim is also that others are abundantly blessed and would see the world around them with gratitude to God through my songs.

My heart has always been in music! What has attracted me more and more to music is the satisfying feeling I leave people with Live Performances and the joy of their souls being blessed. Putting a band together and gaining acceptance as a musician takes time, consistent effort and strong commitment.

My vision is to put my best into every ministration performance and production and stardom, wealth and acceptance will follow God willing.

I have needed good business skills in managing the production, marketing, and distribution of my music on my own label. This is an ongoing challenge, and not an easy road, but the grace of God enables and empowers us.

I am inspired to sing Gospel Music in several languages. Many year as a worship leader and performed in concerts in collaboration with a wide variety of artists. Very diverse music compositions, unique style, excellent quality production and music arrangements.

'Good Tidings' (Irohin Rere) Album is an inspiration from God almighty through Christ Jesus and a dip, into the well of inspiration he has given unto us. The lord will bless you as you purchase listen and enjoy his message.

Performed in both English and Yoruba, my songs are loaded with messages, complemented by unique lead and backing vocals, quality use of African percussions complimented with rich multiple guitar and piano harmony.

My work is recorded in analogue format, to capture the natural rich sound that goes into the production that mirrors a live performance and transferred to multi-track. I believe in this old fashioned approach to recording. This keeps the feeling on an album fresh, original and you can hear us all in agreement amongst rich traditional percussion instruments.

This approach makes the music style fluid and unpredictable, the inspiration clean and fresh, hard to categorise or duplicate and lively. This is the well of inspiration that the lord has blessed us with.

God is a happy God!
