INTERVIEW: I have found the one~JustinMuzik




Here in an interview with Miss Joy Ngofaa, Port Harcourt gospel artiste JustinMuzik opens up about his musical journey.


Joy: Hello Mr Justin, tell us a little about yourself. 

Justin: My name is Nweze Justin Barisua Anyekere. Am from Rivers State.

Joy: What was growing up like?

Justin: I grew up with my mum in Port Harcourt, then we moved to Abia state. I attended Akuete Nursery and Primary School there, before we moved to Okirika where I attended Secondary school. I later moved to Ahoada because of a war in Okirika at that time until the year 2000 when I enrolled in Rivers State Polytechnic. After obtaining a diploma in accounting, I went further to study Linguistics and Communication in University of Port Harcourt, which I finished some years ago.

Joy: What about your music background?

Justin: I have been into music since I was young. I lead an acapella  group as a teenager. And was appointed music director of the JCCF (Joint Christian Campus Fellowship) mass choir back then in Rivers State Polytechnic. I was privileged to organize a major concert that became a huge success in JCCF.  I was also music director in Christ Rhema church at some point. I'm a part of a mass choir called "The Spring House Mass Choir". Am also a part of the musical group " The Extraordinaries"


Joy: How did the name Justin Music begin?

Justin: Well! around 2013, I decided that I needed a name for my brand. So I came up with JustinMuzik. Its my brand name for whatever I do, so its not limited to music.

Joy: The song "Take all of me" is so amazing. When did JustinMuzik finally decide that it was time to release a song.

Justin: I released my first single January 2014 titled Bottom belle ( gratitude ) Then I launched an album January this year.

Joy: I hear you are organizing a concert. Tell me about it.





Justin: The theme for the concert is "Undiluted worship". If you were to undilute something, that would mean leaving it raw right! And with drinks especially alcohol, the effect will be highly intoxicating. You know, in church we are commanded by a short period of time, so we don't really worship to that point. The concert calls for a time of intoxicating worship on the 24th of November at Cottage Collosseum Woji town Port Harcourt. It's going to be a vigil.


Joy: I would love to be there. Who are the artiste we should expect?

Justin: The likes of Wisdom K, Doris Frances, Afy Douglas, Pastor Tamara, Williams, Michael Oyalade, Faithful of House on the Rock and Pastor talking drum.  Its going to be televised live online, and it will be displayed on major channels across the nation and some international gospel stations like the 700club.

Joy: I have one more question for you (smiles) This is the season of wedding bells. When will yours ring? (both laugh)

Justin: Not yet, but just know that I have found the one and when its time, it will be announced.

Continued from part 1.                                  If you missed part one, click    here I fear that I let them do it to me.  I fear that I gave them avenue to use me, to hurt me.  Deep down in my heart a voice says "no you didn't "      Bill says "no you didn't "      But it's obvious, isn't it?  After mum remarried when I turned fifteen,  that was when the self stabbings and cuttings started.  I think I gave them the cue.  Mum, a career woman was rarely at home. According to her,  she remarried for me. So that I can have a man figure in my life.  I was always left with mum's husband and my step brother.  That was when the blood began dripping and the smell began seeping out.  I bet they could smell it.    Dad,  as I had to call mum's husband,  raped me.  It didn't seem like a rape to me though. Somewhere in my mind I had anticipated it,  schemed and made the setup. And it seemed he had  walked into my trap,  even when h

Continued from   part 1   Then one day she met Tom and they became friends. He was a junior and normally such friendships were short-lived because people begin to say things and you tend to think they are right. But not them, Tom didn't seem to care about what people said, and she didn't have friends so no one said anything to her. Tom was working wonders so we welcomed him into our family with open arms...dad absolutely adored him and so did I.            Their friendship blossomed into something beautiful and every weekend they ate at a particular Chinese restaurant. Tom bought her flowers every time he came to visit and soon they started talking about the future, I was thrilled and inspired, my depressed sister had finally found her Prince charming, and their love had finally transformed into something beautiful, oh, the power of love.

Diary Series; Miriam's Diary

It's August 15th I see a lady, she looks frail and sorrowful lying helplessly in a hospital bed. I could tell by her countenance that she is drenched in depression. I was prompted to go to her. I held her hand and said "Jesus loves you ma'am" she smiles at me; a warm and charming smile. I smile back. I give her a hug, then spend more time with her. We chat a little. I lead her to Christ and hand her a tract. She promises to read it. She has cancer on her left breast. She would recieve chemotherapy.  I guess I should introduce myself. My name is Miriam. I'm five. I'll be six 12 days from today. I have cancer too. My doctor says I have 8 days more to live. I pray I see my birthday. Peradventure I'll grow taller, or even bigger. They call me little Mira. I know I'm not just a little girl; I'm a big king right on the inside. I'm confined to the hospital bed. My pain has intensified. The wounds and sores have increased. Most times

Tasting tear drops (part 1)

Tomorrow, it'd be second August again and Mary will go out to China town. She'd buy herself some beautiful Chinese lanterns and all sorts of decor she can remember. Each year, they become less because of her amnesia. Then she'd stop by her favourite Chinese restaurant and buy everyone sushi. Dad will help take out everything in the garage and she'll set up her decorations, it had become some kind of ritual, one that only both of them understood. She'd set up dinner table for two and she'd place two seats. When the clock strikes nine in the night and the star lights are in place, for some bizarre reason, there are always star lights in the sky on the second of August. Its as if even God understands that the night lights are important to her. She'd dress up in a beautiful dinner gown and come downstairs, and dad as always, will take her by the hand and walk her to the front door. Once she was outside, she'd hug an imaginary figure and point to the sky.

SCARS Part 1

Last night, we had been too tired and too excited with our wedding, we had gone straight to bed once it was bedtime; my arms around her possessively. Several times during the long night I had felt her eyes on me; they would flutter shut when I opened mine. At least that’s what I thought. I would watch her for a while, her breathing soft and slow like the gentle stirring of the sea; the wind of her breath caressing my face. Once or twice; okay, fine, more times than I can count, I had leaned in to kiss her small lips that seemed to pout as she slept.     Excuse you! She’s my wife now. “Good morning, Bill” I heard her voice, my eyes fluttered open in response. I had been awake already. I just hadn’t known what to do; I had decided to wait till she woke me up. “Good morning, Sweetness.” I said, Well, our eyes were fixed on each other’s. This was going to be my first time. I had a busy teenage and youth life, though spiced with a few girlfriends; it never really got to se
