Michael Ajetomobi, known to fans as Aremmic, has captivated listeners with his soulful, worship-driven sound and powerful lyrics. But his path to becoming a renowned gospel artist wasn�t a straightforward one. Raised in a musically inclined family, Aremmic had exposure to various genres, yet he chose gospel music as his life�s calling. In a recent interview, the talented singer-songwriter opened up about why gospel music, above all others, resonated with his spirit.
�For me, gospel music isn�t just a genre,� Aremmic began. �It�s a way of life, a ministry, and a form of worship. Growing up in a Christian household with my father as a choir director, gospel music was the foundation of everything we did. It wasn�t just about singing; it was about connecting with God and leading others into that same connection.�
Despite being influenced by artists from genres like R&B, soul, and pop�ranging from Westlife and Boyz II Men to gospel giants like Kirk Franklin and Fred Hammond�Aremmic always felt drawn to the message behind gospel music. �I listened to all kinds of music growing up, but the gospel was different,� he explained. �The message of hope, faith, and salvation spoke to me in ways other genres didn�t. I wanted to be part of something that changes lives, and gospel music does that.�
At a time when other genres might have offered more commercial opportunities, Aremmic chose to follow a path rooted in faith. �There were moments when I thought about venturing into other types of music, but I always came back to gospel,� he admitted. �It�s the message that matters most to me. It�s not just entertainment; it�s ministry. Every song I write and every note I sing is a form of worship.�
Aremmic also spoke about the importance of authenticity in his music. �It�s easy to get caught up in the allure of fame and success, especially in more commercial genres. But for me, gospel music is about staying true to who I am and the message I want to share,� he said. �When I sing, I�m not just performing; I�m worshiping. That authenticity resonates with people, and that�s what makes gospel music so powerful.�
Choosing gospel music has also given Aremmic a deeper sense of purpose. �There�s something incredibly fulfilling about using your gift to glorify God,� he reflected. �I could have pursued fame or commercial success in other genres, but nothing compares to the joy I feel when I see how my music touches someone�s life, whether it�s bringing them closer to God or offering them hope in difficult times.�
With songs like Echoes of Love and Sweet Communion, Aremmic�s career is a testament to his dedication to the gospel genre. His soulful melodies and heartfelt lyrics continue to inspire a growing global audience, leading listeners into worship with every release. �Gospel music is my calling, and I know I�m right where I�m supposed to be,� he said with a smile.
For Aremmic, gospel music isn�t just a genre he chose�it’s his ministry, his passion, and his life�s purpose. �I�m here to spread the good news, one song at a time,� he concluded. �And for that, I�m grateful every day.�
