Swedish based Cameroonian makossa, zouk love, and world music artist Microsoft Frank Bila presently is in Cameroon for the recording and production of his upcoming album, title still to be decided (says you don’t name a child till after his birth).

The uprising singer does his thing in french, English, Duala and pidgin English and his sixed-tracked album has titles like ‘Blue world’, ‘La fete’, ‘Maman’, ‘Mauvais mari‘. Back in his school days in the University of Dschang Cameroon, Frank Bila used to sing in the school orchestra and has taken part in the Buea University cultural festival of 2003 leaving with a gold medal. His role model is none other than makossa king Petit Pays. Putting much efforts day in, day out at M1 studio, his album will be released any time soon.

Nexdim  promises to bring you more updates on Bila.

Congratulations man more grease!!!

Follow

NexDim: Who is Precious?

P: I am a final year  student of the University of Buea studying Educational Psychology, I come from a family of 3 all girls and am a proud Bayang from Tinto – Eyang.

NexDim: What got you into gospel music?

P: Lets say my background, i grew up in isolation, i was always alone and that way i would rather sing than talk. As i was growing up i joined the Apostolic church in form 2 and later joined the choir where i enjoyed singing alot. Then my desire to know God the more really pushed me into singing and most of my songs now i did them way back then.

NexDim: Tell us about your upcoming album

P: The title of the album would be ‘Thanks a Million’ it has  7 songs of appreciation to God to have extended the privilege on. First of all there is ‘Breathe on me’ which says the breathe of god takes away all human sufferings, then there is ‘You are just a prayer away’  ‘No limit‘ which is an American praise, and the rest of the three are in the bayang dialect – ‘Two ye ka’ ( come and lets worship God), ‘Ndu va ka’ ( As your praise goes up the glory comes down), and ‘Ye ma apu mboh yi’ ( No man no dey like God).

NexDim: What are some of the challenges you faced during this period?

P: Well to be honest with you it hasn’t really been easy but I thank God for DJ Subzee of Track Zone Recordz who doubles as my manager he has been a source of inspiration to me all this while, but the biggest challenge has been with finances, I thank God we have gone so far already almost done with the studio works all thats left is the jackets for the CDs and some others.

NexDim: Who do you admire most in the world of music?

P: I have 2 people i really admire, the first is Sinach who is the leader of Pastor Chris’s choir and Nigeria’s Lara George thats in Africa, then for the western musicians i do admire Cece Winans and Darlene Chzecks of Hill Song Musics.

NexDim: Thanks miss Precious

P: Oh you definitely welcome

NexDim caught up with Ngafor HANS , who was a member of the jury;

” It’s a beautiful concept which is first of its kind. If you look around the world, 3/4 of  today’s top celebrities and legends have had a gospel background. The call  is therefore for Africa to rise up . This is a great opportunity for the youths to express their vocal ability. We shall select the best with no iota of bias. If this kind of ideas are regularly initiated, gospel music will definitely gain it’s place. Our ultimate motive is to get a vibrant band with beautiful voices who shall find pleasure in making music  for God”

Ngafor Hans (Bassist and music producer)
