Happy birthday to Africa's One And Only TALKBOX ARTISTE

Happy birthday to Africa's One And Only TALKBOX ARTISTE
The TALKBOX is a musical instrument that allows the player to sing with the synthesizer(keyboard). The synth sound feeds into an amplifier which then powers the speaker called the horn-driver. The tube then delivers the sound into the player's mouth which allows him to shape the sound with an amazing robotic voice. NOW YOU KNOW!
Meet African 1st TALKBOX Artiste: THE VOKODER
Ifechukwude Samuel is a Nigerian artiste popularly known by his stage name, THE VOKODER which is coined from the musical instrument Vocoder.
He hails from Nsukwa, Aniocha South LGA in Delta State, located in the Southern part of Nigeria. He was born into a family of seven to a clergy father and a mother who is a trained nurse and midwife. The Vokoder began his musical journey at a young age as a pianist in a church his father pastored at the time.
Since then, he has been supportive and actively involved in his father’s ministry using his gift of music. Asides playing the piano, The Vokoder helped to manage the church choir during which he organised several voice training lessons for them and that inspired his decision to set up a music academy called, Samuel Academy of Music (SAM).
He became the first voice coach ever from Africa to upload voice lessons on YouTube. Now he trains schools, choirs and individuals either physically or online. Following his success as a voice coach, The Vokoder officially unveiled his TalkBox career at a musical concert, Timeless Praize, on the 2nd of September, 2018 in the city of Port Harcourt, Nigeria Timeless Praize was the 1st Talkbox event ever in Africa.
Though he began to play Vocoder professionally in January 2018 and started talkboxing in July the same year. With this, he became the very first TalkBox artiste emerging from Africa. His genre of music includes; soul, R&B, funk, hip-hop, Nigerian praise and worship, all in the form and style of the TalkBox. He derives his inspiration from the love of God, the gospel, and winning souls for the kingdom of God. Being the first voice coach from Africa to upload voice lessons on YouTube and also the first TalkBox artiste from Africa can be considered as historical achievements for THE VOKODER.
It is also recorded that he is the first talkboxer to do a cover and TalkBox concert in Africa. Vokoder has performed on quite a number of platforms and has done a TalkBox version of the Nigerian National Anthem. Soon he would release the first TalkBox single from Africa title, “JESUS” from his debut album, “JESUS MUSIC”.
Dropping soon... Or

Even though the African continent is still adapting to TalkBox Music, he believes that TalkBox and Vocoder movement can only get better.

How to Rebuild Your Confidence After Failure by Kneelyo Akinbowale

How to Rebuild Your Confidence After Failure by Kneelyo Akinbowale  Failure has a way of shaking the very foundation of our confidence. One moment, you believe in yourself; the next, doubt creeps in, whispering that you are not good enough, not smart enough, or not destined to succeed. But here is the truth many people never tell you: failure does not destroy confidence—how you interpret failure does. If you have failed recently, this is not the end of your story. It is the beginning of a wiser, stronger chapter. Understand That Failure Is Not Your Identity One of the most dangerous mistakes people make after failing is allowing the failure to define who they are. You didn’t fail because you are a failure. You failed because you tried. Every successful person you admire today has failed in one way or another. The difference is that they refused to turn a moment into a permanent label. Separate what happened from who you are. Your worth is not measured by one outcome. Al...

Growth Is Painful, But Stagnation Is Worse by Kneelyo Akinbowale

Growth is not a comfortable journey. It stretches you, challenges your beliefs, exposes your weaknesses, and forces you to confront versions of yourself you would rather ignore. Many people avoid growth not because they don’t desire progress, but because they fear the pain that often comes with it. But here is the truth many don’t like to face: while growth is painful, stagnation is far more dangerous. The Pain That Comes With Growth Growth demands change, and change rarely feels good at first. It may require you to leave familiar environments, let go of relationships that no longer serve your purpose, or unlearn habits that once kept you comfortable but now keep you stuck. Pain in growth shows up as: • Fear of the unknown • Temporary failure and embarrassment • Discipline over comfort • Sacrificing immediate pleasure for long- term fulfillment. This pain, however, has a purpose. It is the pain of becoming—of building strength, wisdom, and character. Just like muscles grow...

Growth Mindset vs Fixed Mindset: The Battle That Shapes Your Future by Kneelyo Akinbowale.

In life, success is not controlled by talent alone, background, or even opportunity. More often than not, it is controlled by how we think. The mindset you adopt determines how you respond to challenges, failure, criticism, and growth. Two dominant mindsets shape human behavior: the Fixed Mindset and the Growth Mindset. Understanding the difference between these two can change the direction of your life. What Is a Fixed Mindset? A fixed mindset is the belief that intelligence, talent, and abilities are permanent traits. People with this mindset believe they are either “good at something” or “not good at it,” and nothing can change that. Characteristics of a Fixed Mindset: • Fear of failure • Avoiding challenges • Giving up easily • Feeling threatened by other people’s   success • Taking criticism personally • Believing talent alone leads to success Someone with a fixed mindset might say: •“This is just who I am.” •“I’m not smart enough for that.” •“I’ve tried befor...
