INTERVIEW WITH K-STICKS (MUSIC DIRECTOR OF DAYSTAR CHOIR)

Tell us about yourself. Who is K-Sticks?

My names are Pinmiloye Olukunle Joshua, but everybody knows me as K-Sticks. My wife’s name is Bunmi and she is called B-Sticks. I see the drum as a medium of expression. Drumming is something I was sent to this world to do.

I was given the name K-Sticks some years ago in Obafemi Awolowo University and it’s stuck since then. Even my students in Ife call me Mr. K-Sticks. My siblings have stopped calling me Kunle (the name my father gave me) and they call me K-Sticks. Most of my choir members don’t know my surname.

I am drummer; a musicologist. I had a certificate course from the University of Ife which was my first attempt. I had my ABRSM – Association Board of Royal School of Music, London. I did a degree course in music (BA) which enabled me to become the first drummer to major in drums. I am the Music director of Daystar Choir.

I am the first drummer to major in drums for my first degree after which I did my Masters. Going for a doctorate degree (PhD) was a challenge. There was nobody to teach me, or supervise me. There is a missing gap; no lecturer of drum......................................
