Friiflow Records' artiste, Fabian is out with another melodious masterpiece that has a deep message for anyone listening. He teams up with HHQ's prodigy, Henrisoul in this heavily infectious, sweet-sounding, highlife-tinged tune titled "My Load."
According to Fabian, he got the inspiration for the song and others yet to be recorded during one of his quiet time meditation sessions. The single 'My Load' picks inspiration from the book of Mathew 11:28-30:
"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.'Jesus is our burden bearer, and our help in times of need, He is interested in our case no matter how big or small. Today if you will bring your burden to Him in faith, then He, Jesus will take it off your back in exchange for His yoke which is easy and His burden which is light." He says.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light".
Fabian Nwafor has defined himself through his style and gusto on stage as a contemporary and traditional gospel artiste. He hails from the eastern part of Nigeria, Enugu State, to be precise, but was born in Lagos. He’s presently signed on to Friiflow Records, a subsidiary of Friiflow Innovation Limited, a brand communications and entertainment company.
Sequel to the great desire and the unquenchable quest Fabian had for music, he started singing in the choir at a tender age. The great influences of notable gospel music luminaries like: Donnie McClurkin, Fred Hammond, Kirk Franklin, Marvin Sapp, and other artistes like Brian Mcknight, Boyz II Men,etc has, put his musical career on a whole new pedestal.
This outstanding vocalist as adjudged by those who have been privileged to hear him sing, started his professional career in 1996, featuring as a back up singer for lots of artistes
Fabian has been invited severally, as a result of his musical depth and proficiency to minister at annual concert, crusades, coperates events, etc.
Fabian’s debut album titled: ‘Oba’, was released in 2005 on Frii-Flow Records. The hit track of the album: ‘Oba’, which also happens to be the title of the album was No: 1, on the top five at five on Inspiration FM for two consecutive weeks, in the month of April(2005), before it was upgraded into the champions’ list. This same track also gained tremendous air play on Premier FM radio, in the city of Ibadan.
I won't be amazed if this guy called Fabian explodes massively non-stop through the limelights of Naija gospel music scene and become a phenomenon. I say this not just because the dude can sing, not because he's got dynamic voice control, not because his voice is distinct recognizable, not because he has a defined style to his vocals...
...but because of my experience working with him on radio Jingles!
Overtime he has proven to be a versatile singer everytime we had to work on different types of radio jingles. He's done afrobeat, reggae, dancehall, R&B etc for the various jingles we've worked on together. He happens to be my favourite if not one of my favourite artistes that's very good on commercial recordings. I happened to have listened to some of his other unreleased works and I can't wait for them to debut, especially the remix of 'Oba'.
Fabian was a "Hype Entertainment award winner" for the year 2013.
