“My Dreadlocks Don’t Define My Faith” – Joseph Matthew Breaks Stereotypes
Pioneering the Afro-gospel music genre in Ghana, Joseph Matthew is breaking down barriers and challenging stereotypes in the music industry.
In a recent interview with Metro TV, the talented artist boldly shared his thoughts on the rigid expectations placed on Gospel musicians in terms of dressing and style. He argued that it’s limiting and demeaning to condemn artists who don’t fit the traditional mold, simply because of their appearance or sound.
Using his own experience as an example, Joseph Matthew revealed that some gatekeepers in the industry have rejected him due to his dreadlocks and unconventional sound, which deviates from the typical Gospel music norm. He emphasized that what truly matters is the message of hope and redemption, not the messenger’s appearance or style.
Joseph Matthew’s courageous stance is a breath of fresh air in an industry often bound by tradition. He’s paving the way for a new generation of Gospel artistes to express themselves authentically, without fear of judgment or rejection.
Joseph Matthew also hinted in the interview that he has a virtual concert and an album up to come.

Big Rain: The Afrobeats Artiste on a Mission to Spread Love and Positivity Through His Catchy Tunes
As a rising star in the Afrobeats scene, Big Rain is spreading love and positivity through his music, leaving a lasting impact on fans and critics alike.
Christened Paul Raymond Osemudiame, Big Rain was born on June 12th, 1995, in the vibrant city of Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria. His early life was filled with the sweet sounds of jazz, reggae, and gospel music, courtesy of his music-loving parents, who encouraged his passion for music. He spent hours listening to the likes of Fela Kuti, Bob Marley, and Michael Jackson, studying their craft and learning from their legacies.
Big Rain’s musical journey began in the church choir, where he honed his vocal skills and developed a deep appreciation for the power of music to uplift and inspire. As he grew older, he began writing his own songs, pouring his heart and soul into every lyric and melody.
After exploring the world of business, Big Rain returned to his first love, music, in 2023, and the result was nothing short of magic. His debut project, “Lifestyle,” released on November 12th, 2023, was a resounding success, garnering impressive numbers and earning him a loyal fan base. The song’s catchy beat and inspiring lyrics resonated with listeners from all walks of life, cementing Big Rain’s place as a rising star in the Afrobeats scene.
Since then, he has released five more songs, each one a testament to his creative genius and dedication to his craft. His music is a fusion of Afrobeats, R&B, and pop, with lyrics that speak to the human experience, love, and self-empowerment. With his unique sound and style, Big Rain is poised to take the music industry by storm.
Inspired by the legendary likes of Fela Kuti, Michael Jackson, and Bob Marley, Ray Jay believes that music should be a powerful tool for spreading love and goodwill. With this in mind, he has pioneered a sub-genre under Afrobeats, dubbed “Afrolove,” aimed at sharing love and positivity through his music. His mission is to use his platform to inspire and uplift others, promoting unity and togetherness through the universal language of music.
As we eagerly await his next release, “Sere,” dropping on May 18th, 2024, we can’t help but feel excited for what the future holds for this talented artiste.
