I am delighted that I am a pioneer and creator of Afro Rock, this my track, which I finally recorded on the 10th June 2024, at The Qube East - Recording Studios - Canary Wharf, London and I initially recorded it at Warp Records - Gospel Oak - London, on the 3rd of June 2024, called: “Go, go, Go”, (Original Mix), which is taken from my newly unreleased, 6 track, Afro Rock EP: “Go, go, Go”, which I would release sometime this year or early next year I played the Electric Guitar on this track and EP, for the very first time in my life, in two different dimensions, Rock & Blues and it went very well, I am so overwhelmed, it’s an amazing feeling My upbringing and music education when I was very young in London, England, before I went to live with my parents in Lagos, Nigeria, most have been very good, that I can do all this as one person, in this day and age, has been a very big surprise to me, I never knew before 2022, when I started my musical journey, that I could even sing, write a song or even play the guitar Recently all I know is that I got a distinction in Common Skills in my BTEC HND in Business and Finance, whilst at the Polytechnic of North London (PNL), which is now known as the London Metropolitan University (UNL) When I embarked on studying, I wanted to do a degree in business studies or business administration, but when I applied, I was selected to do the BTEC HND in Business and Finance, mainly because they found me to be a very practical guy and this has been the case with my music I did so well on my BTEC HND, I was then enrolled to undertake the Pg Dip Purchasing & Supply at the same Polytechnic/university listed above, where I became a Corporate Member of the Chartered Institute of Procurement & Supply: MCIPS/CIPS, at the time of my studies, I was a DJ Please do not share this track and link, so wait for the release to come out before you share it Songwriter: Jubril Balogun aka DJ Jubril B Singer(Lead & Background): Jubril Balogun aka DJ Jubril B Electric Guitar (Rock and Blues influence/elements): Jubril Balogun aka DJ Jubril B Keyboard: Josh Curtis, of Key Changes Producer: Josh Curtis, of Key Changes Co-Producer: Jubril Balogun aka DJ Jubril B, of Jubril B Productions Executive Producer: Jubril Balogun aka DJ Jubril B, of Jubril B Productions https://lnkd.in/eGXTue7v

Attention, Music Teachers! STOP OMITTING CHILDREN from your instrumental music program because they lack fine motor skills in their fingers or the gross motor skills to hold an instrument, stick, or mallet. My doctoral thesis https://lnkd.in/d3zwy_7e deals with this issue, and this video is an example of the concept. I am passionate about helping music teachers learn what they have never learned in music school--how to teach the harmonica and how to use it in your ensemble. I want to show you how to use the chromatic harmonica as an educational tool. By including more students in this way, you will increase student participation. The HandsFree Chromatic (HFC) Harmonica is the only fully chromatic, 3-octave musical instrument in the world that can be played without arms by a paraplegic, quadriplegic, or double amputee. Now is the time to THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX! Contact me for more information [email protected] https://lnkd.in/gZdqee6a

Hey Guys. Here we go with the live version of “Pulse”, my brand new song which features ⁠ on solo 2 and 4. As you can see I am playing all the instruments as I usually do when I do demo new music. This gives an idea of my creative process which it is going to be described a bit more in depth on the next video. https://lnkd.in/d5qv3WAm
