I brought gospel music to the forefront - KSB

Kenny Saint Best in a recent chat claimed that her venture into politics is not because of a failing career.

She said, “What is the yardstick for measuring success? If for 16 years I have been leading the pack; I have been part of the revolution in Nigerian music, even in the gospel sector, where are the people we started doing music together? You have to check my contemporaries.

 The problem with Nigerians is that they believe when you are not the rave of the moment, you are not successful and that is not true. 

You don’t have to always lead the pack and also you don’t have to be at the tail end, it pays to be in the middle and be consistent. I don’t have any other business aside doing music; it is music that has sustained me. Everything I do revolves round music. 

They say all this because I don’t make noise; if I want to make noise, Baba Keke is there to make noise for me from now till eternity. But the kind of platform I have would give others the opportunity to thrive, so I intentionally allowed my brother to downplay me. Jaywon, Tuface have come and gone but there is still KSB, it was his responsibility to give them the same platform he gave his sister at a point in time. 

I am still consistent; I won best gospel artiste of the year in 2010, 2011,2013. I was able to bring change to gospel music, a lot of people cannot make such a change, I brought gospel music to the forefront.”
