Mighty The Gospel Hip Hopper
Mighty the Gospel Hip Hopper is inspired by a higher power. His music is raw and open and touches the hearts of everyone who listens.
The single I’m Not Perfect has a deep meaning for Mighty and sends a personal message to God: “This song is tough for me to talk about. At the time, I was really struggling. I was falling backwards, going through so much and I thought God wasn’t there for me. I felt like I couldn’t reach God the way I wanted to. I just want people to know that I’m not perfect. I make mistakes, but I still love God.”
Mighty The Gospel Hip Hopper also has a positive uplifting side. I cannot listen to his single Feel Good Music and not smile. According to Mighty, “My friend brought me the music and asked me to take a listen. The song has a stepping beat to it. I thought everybody would really love it, and it came out making people feel good.”
The smooth jazz singing voice you hear on the track is that of the singer-songwriter who introduced Mighty to Feel Good Music: Jamey Hatcher. His background singing sounds beautiful and it really enhances the song’s power.
What does Mighty look for when he collaborates with other artists? “I just want to make beautiful music, music that sounds good, music that touches the soul. I look for somebody who’s going to be creative and somebody who has the same mindset that I do going in. That’s what I look for.”
Mighty told me that he added hip hop to his music after listening to the rapper Nas. What is the Mighty The Gospel Hip Hopper music back story? Mighty explained: “Some of Nas’ music really inspired me. It was positive and changed my mindset on things. Then, I started listening to Gospel music, but it all started with hip hop.”
What is Mighty The Gospel Hip Hopper’s music philosophy? “My philosophy is largely based on the Bible. I write about stuff that I believe is really going to touch people, touch their soul. Again, I want to make people feel good. Like hip hop does, I want people to think about what’s really going on in their lives. Hopefully, my music is a positive influence and inspires the listener to become better person. If we become better humans, we can change the world.”
Mighty mostly promotes his music on Facebook, Twitter and ReverbNation: “I promote my music through those channels. I also post videos too. I promote, promote, promote.”
What advice does Mighty The Gospel Hip Hopper have for other inspired recording artists? “Keep pushing. If you have a dream, go after it. It takes work, a lot of praying and people around you, supporting you and lifting you up. All that makes a perfect combination to go after your dream.” Team Mightly is led by his lovely wife LaCresha Payne-Owens and son Wesley.
So, what’s up next? “I recently released videos for I’m Not Perfect and Feel Good Music. I have a CD coming out March 3 called Open-likeminded. I also have a video coming out later this year for my single Stop the bullets.”
