Unraveling the Myth: Joseph Matthew Says Dreadlocks Don’t Equal Sin”
“Pioneering the Afro-gospel music genre in Ghana, Joseph Matthew is breaking down barriers and challenging stereotypes in the Gospel music industry.
In a recent interview with Metro TV, the talented artiste boldly shared his thoughts on the rigid expectations placed on Gospel musicians in terms of dressing and music style. He argued that it’s limiting and demeaning to condemn artistes who don’t fit the traditional mold, simply because of their appearance or sound.
Using his own experience as an example, Joseph Matthew revealed that some gatekeepers in the industry have rejected him due to his dreadlocks and unconventional sound, which deviates from the typical ghanaian Gospel music norm. He emphasized that what truly matters is the message of hope and redemption, not the messenger’s appearance or style.
Joseph Matthew hinted on a virtual concert and a new album on the horizon.
Watch what he said at the interview from below.
Also, be sure to check out his latest single, “Promise Land,” a soul-stirring anthem that embodies the essence of Afro-gospel music.

Meet Budding Afrobeats Artiste, Big Rain Who Is Spreading Love With His Music
As a rising star in the Afrobeats scene, Big Rain is spreading love and positivity through his music, leaving a lasting impact on fans and critics alike.
Christined Paul Raymond Osemudiame, Big Rain was born on June 12th, 1995, in the vibrant city of Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria. His early life was filled with the sweet sounds of jazz, reggae, and gospel music, courtesy of his music-loving parents, who encouraged his passion for music. He spent hours listening to the likes of Fela Kuti, Bob Marley, and Michael Jackson, studying their craft and learning from their legacies.
Big Rain’s musical journey began in the church choir, where he honed his vocal skills and developed a deep appreciation for the power of music to uplift and inspire. As he grew older, he began writing his own songs, pouring his heart and soul into every lyric and melody.
After exploring the world of business, Big Rain returned to his first love, music, in 2023, and the result was nothing short of magic. His debut project, “Lifestyle,” released on November 12th, 2023, was a resounding success, garnering impressive numbers and earning him a loyal fan base. The song’s catchy beat and inspiring lyrics resonated with listeners from all walks of life, cementing Big Rain’s place as a rising star in the Afrobeats scene.
Since then, he has released five more songs, each one a testament to his creative genius and dedication to his craft. His music is a fusion of Afrobeats, R&B, and pop, with lyrics that speak to the human experience, love, and self-empowerment. With his unique sound and style, Big Rain is poised to take the music industry by storm.
Inspired by the legendary likes of Fela Kuti, Michael Jackson, and Bob Marley, Big Rain believes that music should be a powerful tool for spreading love and goodwill. With this in mind, he has pioneered a sub-genre under Afrobeats, dubbed “Afrolove,” aimed at sharing love and positivity through his music. His mission is to use his platform to inspire and uplift others, promoting unity and togetherness through the universal language of music.
As we eagerly await his next release, “Sere,” dropping on 1st May, 2024, we can’t help but feel excited for what the future holds for this talented artiste.
