Gospels are not just about sharing God’s message but taking the responsibility to make music that inspires listeners to care for each other. Versatile Athena Brown’s gospel creation follows the motto, and the artist is all set to drop a brand new song, ‘Infinity’. The track is releasing on April 24 of this year, and it will be available through the major music platforms like Spotify and YouTube. We thank the artist for sharing a few words with us on her gospel journey.
DMR: ‘Infinity’ is releasing soon. How are you feeling right now?
Athena: I’m feeling excited and a little nervous as it’s a different style of gospel (it has a reggae flavour)
DMR: How did you come up with the idea of this new song?
Athena: I was looking up at the heavens and thought. How wonderful and magnificent it is, and I felt God, ‘Jehovah’, deserves to be praised. I’m a Christian. God Almighty is infinite, and He is everlasting. Therefore, the title for this song had to be ‘Infinity’.
DMR: 30 years is a long time. When did you first start doing music?
Athena: Yes, 30 years is a long time to be singing. I first started singing at church, in the gospel choir, and now I sing at local concerts.
DMR: Name some gospel artists who inspired you the most.
Athena: I’ve always been inspired by the Winans, for their contemporary styles, and Ella Fitzgerald for her negro spiritual sounds.
DMR: What do you think about the modern music industry and its influence on gospel?
Athena: I think that the modern music industry has benefited from gospel due to the choir sounds, and some singers started off singing gospel music.
DMR: Based in South East London, what are your views on the gospel culture in London?
Athena: I think it’s great, there are many gospel artists in London, and there’s room for new creativity and also opportunities to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ.
DMR: Guide us through your creative process of a gospel creation.
Athena: I record the melody when a song comes to me. Then play it on my guitar, I then play the chords and write the lyrics down as I go along. I go into a studio and use the keyboard and software to lay the music down, and after this, I record the vocals over the music.
DMR: Do you think gospel music can bring a change in this world?
Athena: Yes, I feel gospel music can offer the world an amazing, creative, and special sound to spread the word of Jesus Christ.
DMR: Would you ever like to experiment with other music genres than Christian Music?
Athena: No, I’m quite happy working in Christian or gospel music. I don’t want to work with any other genres.
DMR: Do you want to collaborate with other artists in the near future?
Athena: Yes, I wouldn’t mind working with other gospel singers. I’m open to collaborations and to those who have a serious message.
DMR: Is there another music project you are currently working on?
Athena: I’m working on a new project called ‘Your majesty’. It gives total praise to Jesus Christ.
DMR: What would you like to say to your listeners?
Athena: Please listen and subscribe to Athena Brown Music on YouTube, and please listen to my music on Spotify and Soundcloud. This helps the algorithms. Have a God blessed day.
