Amongst her peers, she is well known with her distinct stands on women’s right, and this has contributed greatly to her rise to stardom. Abidemi Abidoye a.k.a Bidemi Bright is a great musical act to be reckoned with in gospel and contemporary music. She did bear it all in this interview. Excerpts:
My name is Abidemi Abidoye
popularly known as Bidemi Bright, my journey into music started over ten years
ago. To my name are two albums, titled Women’s right and O fe mi.
O fe mi was my first album
packaged by a great music producer Julie King followed by Women’s right.
Why did you produce music on women’s right?
There are high rate of domestic
violence in our society, this has been on for a very long time. In a bid to
educate men especially; and the general public, my musical band, Bidemi Bright
Entertainment thought it wise to come up with something great that will curb
such menace in our society.
Besides domestic violence,
women’s place in Africa and Nigeria as a whole needs serious evaluation,
there’s need for orientation on how best we should treat our women; this
comprises girl child, sisters, ladies, wives and mothers both old and young.
Their rights are well
enunciated in my album. I have just released another version of it titled
volume 2, this is to press home the need for a better life and treatment for
women.
What is new thing from your stable?
I have just concluded work on my
new album Abimi-mogo (Born with Glory) and the volume 2 of Women’s right. Also,
come next Sunday the 31st of this month I shall celebrate my
birthday and the launching of Abimi-mogo my new Audio album.
The event will take place at
Celestial church of Christ, Afola-Oluwabi parish Iju-Ishaga area. The event
shall be star studded, the likes of Segun Nabi, Mega 99, Seyi Michael and a
host of others.
What makes your new song different?
With the current situation in
the country, our nation needs prayer. Abimi-mogo is a prayer song. It is filled
with prayers.
What do you consider as challenges in your
career as a musician?
As a woman there are lots one is saddled with as
an upcoming artiste. Despite the longer years on the profession, attaining
stardom isn’t a joke for women in entertainment industry, but by and large we
give glory to God that has taken us this far.
Meanwhile, there are joyous
moments in music for me than those periods when I felt like chicken out. With
God, I have been able to move gracefully amongst my peers.
