Gospel Musician, Joe Mettle has shared valuable insights with attendees of the Band Experience Music Workshop in the United Kingdom. The event which was held at Manchester brought together musicians and enthusiasts from various genres under one umbrella.
He encouraged aspiring musicians to focus not only on honing their musical abilities but also on developing integrity, humility, and a strong work ethic.
“Sometimes the gift will open the door for you, make a way for you to go to a place, but it is only character that will keep you there and keep you running. I understand that sometimes it might look like you are being maltreated or not treated, right. That’s a different situation.”
“But when you find yourself always having to move, because of how character made you react and everything, maybe you should check it [your character] again. And so as you learn, as you improve, as you grow in your craft, please be mindful that character is what will keep you there even though gift can open the door for you to get to that point.”
Joe Mettle’s message resonated with many participants, inspiring them to strive for excellence both in their craft and in their personal conduct.
Other musicians, producers and seasoned instrumentalists who graced the Manchester event organised by George Addo Jnr include Joseph Darko Wilson, Opoku Sanaa, Ezekiel Julius, Dave da Musicbox, Kwakes, Annor Yeboah, Kwaku Amoako and Ezekiel Omosebi among others.
