Jesus chose me from the streets to bring hope to the hopeless through my music – Chidon

 

Chidon GPM is about to revolutionise the Nigerian music scene with the release of the video for his new track "Plenty Plenty." Francis Chidi Ijeomah, also known as Chidon GPM, is the latest entrant, presenting a new form of music called GOD'S POP, which combines gospel and pop music. Chidon revealed the video for his new track in Lagos, saying the purpose of his music is to "give hope to the hopeless."My music has stayed in Nigeria.  Its purpose is to provide hope to the despondent.  People who are suffering will find hope after listening to my songs.  What distinguishes my song is that some of the terms I used in it are common in everyday conversation.  I am not religious, but I know that people of various religions listen to secular music.  So I thought we could bring them all together with gospel music combined with hip-hop," the singer stated.He added, ”My music is not ordinary music, It’s a fusion of gospel and pop music called GOD’s POP. I am different from other gospel artists. This is not gospel music, it’s gospel from the street.


“The youth are turning their face against God because many musicians are making secular music, so I believe when they listen to my song, most of them would be forced to turn back to God. So my song is a gospel song made from the street just like Jesus Christ. He was born on the street, the miracles he performed were done on the streets, everything he did were from the streets. So, Jesus chose me from the streets to bring hope to the hopeless.”

Chidon was born into a Christian home in Ideato, Imo State, and his Christian upbringing has had a huge impact on his musical style. His purpose is to give hope to the hopeless through his music, which he hopes will unite people of various religions. "My late father instilled in us an understanding of God as we grew up. He brought me close to God. I understand his mercy and what he has done for me. As a young lad, I listened to Phyno. He alternates between gospel and secular music. "So I'd like to feature some songs," he remarked.Chidon GPM returned to the country last year to pursue a career in music after spending 19 years overseas. His music style is distinct, combining church music with hip-hop and employing street slang to make it relevant. He is not simply another gospel performer; his music comes from the streets, and he is convinced that it will have an impact on society. Chidon GPM is a rising star in the music industry, with hopes to collaborate with well-known Nigerian musicians, including Phyno. His manager, Onyika Emmanuel, alias MC Senator, lauds Chidon for pioneering this new kind of music.
