Christians are too quick to judge – Kuami Eugene

Kuami Eugene discussed writing songs for gospel singer Joyce Blessing and the view of artists who explore secular themes. He also discussed the seeming segregation of vocalists.

It was difficult, he said, to talk about songwriting for gospel musicians because of the industry’s pervasive bias against other musical genres, even if he saw nothing intrinsically wrong with them.

“Talking intensely about gospel is a bit dicey because you know Gospel people, how judgmental some of them are. I’ve had people say, ‘Why should a gospel person allow a worldly musician to write a song for them? There is literally nothing wrong with that,'” Kuami Eugene revealed.

The performer underlined that the main objective of gospel music is to save and reach Christians, a task that may be accomplished by people of any musical background.

The “Monica” composer disputed the idea that gospel music should only feature members of the Christian community.

“There is nothing wrong with it. I don’t know who the Gospel is saving if it’s saving people who are already saved… There’s nothing wrong with writing a song,” he added.
