Here’s a quick interview with Sestor a few days before his new CD drops. Listen to a few tracks here. Get tickets here.
Who is SesTor?
SesTor is a Christian Rap Artist from Nigeria, living in Cleveland, Ohio with his beautiful wife and kids. He is first and foremost passionate about pursuing after Gods Kingdom, and being a voice of hope to this and coming generations. I offer top quality, high energy Christian Hip Hop, often performing with my live band. The new CD, “Tha Chronicles Of Junglistic Hip Hop is scheduled to release on 8/28/09. This, mostly self-produced album, proves to be my greatest work yet and it features artists like Grits, and scratches by Dee Jay Doc.
What do you hope to accomplish with this CD?
I hope to present Jesus to a generation that knows more about materialism and self-centeredness.
What will it take for you to get this music into people’s hands?
The Bible says in Ecclesiastes 10:19 that “money is the answer for everything.” It’s not saying that money should be worshiped and placed above God, but money should be put to work, so we really do need support from CD sales, Sponsorships, etc. God uses people to bless people so we need support from good people.
How do you produce your music? Are there some live instruments as well?
One of my mentors once said it’s 5% inspiration and 95% work, so I’m not scared to take ideas I get in my head and work them; sometimes for hours, weeks, even years. My productions are a good mix of live instruments and programmed stuff; as long as it sounds nice, it’s all good.
What advice do you have for other musicians trying to find a studio to record in?
Prayerfully look for studios/producers/engineers who are on the same page with you, spiritually and musically cos “iron sharpeneth iron,” or “bad company corrupts good character.” I work with the Synergy Studio, Cleveland, Ohio ‘cos they are serious, creative hard working individuals who can help take your music to level next.
