Oyovwe in Lagos said that music could soften hardened hearts from committing evil to showing love and peace among humanity.
“Music is a wonderful tool; it’s one of a channels to reach out to the most hardened heart because everybody loves music; every human being loves music, even God himself loves music.
“Music is a powerful tool that God has given to mankind to use as a tool to bring peace and joy into hearts.
“Because a happy mind will always think of good; a happy mind will not think of war or think of killing.
“I think music is a wonderful tool that we who are into this career who are musicians should use our god given gift to make humanity.
“To bring peace to the country, to sing a kind of song that gladdens the heart that would make a hardened heart joyful not to begin to think of war.
“When you are happy you won’t think of harming one another; the words we use in our music should be words that would bring peace, bring unity.
“We should try as much as possible to use our music to touch lives, to make people love each other; let our messages always be of peace, love, unity.“
She also advised musicians not to concentrate on the just the sounds that would sell the music but also the words that could change lives. (NAN)
