Aspiring gospel producer shares his thoughts
FRANCISTOWN: He is in his early 30s and feels that residents of Francistown will learn a lot from him, especially in gospel music.

Titus David, who is from Mogotlho - a village a few kilometres from Shakawe - describes himself as a music producer, events coordinator and promoter. He wants people to know him principally as a music producer because that is where his passion lies.

Unlike other producers, David only has one album under his belt, as he is still a newcomer in the gospel music industry. He loves gospel and wants to contribute as much as he can to its development and growth.

“Gospel is soulful and spiritual music and as a Christian, I feel I can contribute a lot since it is near my heart,” said the amateur producer.

He admits that Francistown is a small town but says there is a lot of potential for success in the music industry - regarding gospel.

David says that he lives for music and has been singing for a long time though he has not yet produced his own album. The one album under his belt was a production for a gospel group called Brothers.

David said it was easy for him to produce for the group as he regularly listens to gospel music.

“I listen to other people’s albums and learn a lot from them which I use when creating my own music,” he said.

He said one of the reasons that led him to take up producing is because he knew people who could compose songs but had no idea what to do with them.

David stresses that he has a lot of creative juice flowing in his veins, which allows him to produce the most vibrant beats for his clients. He has a dream and that is to make gospel music reach a high level in Botswana. He is worried that gospel is not well appreciated and he would love to promote it to a level where it will be most appreciated for its beauty and peace.

David is currently organising a gospel festival, which will be held in November and will bring together gospel groups like Revival Temptations from Lesotho, Remmant Rain from Zimbabwe, Kealeboga Mabiwe from Selebi-Phikwe and Maureen Mogowe from Gaborone
