Goes One-on-one
Those in the local music industry who like positive, inspirational vibes may recall Sean Sobers for the hit planted. Entertainer caught up with this positive vibes artiste and learnt that he has added yet another song to the local music repertoire and another will soon follow.
The names of the songs are ‘Born for More’ and ‘I’ve Called You.’ Sobers explaining the inspiration behind ‘born for more’ said “many people are living below their true call void of fulfilment and are being undervalued. “I just realised that there’s more and we need to come to a place where we begin to walk in our true nature and purpose.” He said the inspiration came while he was driving and the words’ “more…. there’s more…we were born for more kept hitting me. So Every day that we rise up there must be a consciousness that what we’re doing, saying and how we’re living is not all there is…there must be a sensing that there’s more.
The well travelled Guyanese artiste of his second song, I’ve Called You, said it is a reminder that “despite of what we’re faced with daily, it is not what people think or say…but it’s about what God has said about you before the foundation and what he has chosen you to do and be. Sobers added that many people feel that they were born into the wrong time and place and their circumstances are unfavorable. “But through this song I want to remind people that there is a call of God upon their lives,” Sobers said.
He added that he has penned many songs aimed at propelling people forward into destiny and purposeful living because it’s not about where we are or what we used to do but where we’re going to be.
The songs were recorded at a small studio, West Wesleyan Media Production through a team effort that included two fresh and upcoming faces to the gospel music scene to do these songs, Samuel Medas and Rochelle Maximus.
‘Born for more’ was released about two months ago and ‘I’ve called you’ will be released within upcoming weeks.
Thus far this professional barber has released one album titled ‘Process” which features 12 track including ‘planted’ and ‘Heal the Land’. Also there was a DVD release “Live in Suriname” that featured ‘Lord I came here’.
“I’m presently a pastor, and also doing some travelling while working along with a Canadian worship leader and producer.”
Offering his take on the local music industry Sobers expressed the view that “we have the ability to produce quality music, the resources are available and we have been doing much. However people need to see the bigger picture, beyond simply Guyana”. Elaborating further Sobers said he believes that once we adapt that mentality our music will take on a different form and make a greater impact on the international circuit. “We need to stop placing blame and just get up and do it. As has become the norm among the mutterings of Guyanese acts Sobers expressed disappointment with the lack of proper copyright laws for artistes as well.
