Vera Frank: What are the challenges you have encountered so far and what lessons have you learnt from them?
David Elias: Well, the general challenge of Gospel music is general acceptance.. by all and sundry. That’s same for me.
Vera Frank: We heard you released something new for everyone out there on Valentine’s day. Tell us about your new single.
David Elias: Yeah that’s my debut single title: Great is our God. God gave me that song 3 years ago. I was just enjoying sometime with the Holy Ghost when I heard the chorus and that’s it. It’s a song that extols God’s greatness.. a theme of ecclesiastical worship.
Vera Frank: What’s your advice to gospel music artistes round the globe? Tell them something you’ve always wanted telling them if they were all gathered in one place.
David Elias: Let’s be circumspect about the temptation to compromise on order to gain acceptance.
Wow! Thank you so much for your time Mr. David Elias.
