Jaymikee shares MZFM Studio Testimony…

To start this testimony thread, let me take us down memory lane for a bit. I don’t think I’ve ever written about my music journey on social media before. Now’s a good time.

I started music production in 2014. Before that time, I cooked sounds on a keyboard in the living room.
When we moved to our new house in 2008, I had a room to myself and after a few years, A desktop was added and a desktop and home speakers.

Before that, it was the long hols after 100level in 2010 and I was idle. Dad met Bros Eddy of Asuza studios. He’s A great music producer. He asked if I could come around to observe the studio life from time to time and Bros Eddy agreed.

I took PT from one end of ibadan to the other about 4 times a week for about 3 months just to sit and watch music happen. I ran errands for him, swept the studio floor sometimes (he didn’t agree to this, but I wanted to Face with tears of joy)The exposure I got from him was very worth it.

Over the years My knowledge and skill grew but the location remained the same. I developed from using a headphone mic to a basic SHURE mic. I also switched my DAW from FruityLoops software to propellerhead Reason 4.

Fast forward to 2015 after my NYSC, I was introduced to Evang Gbade Adetisola of Klin Mix Studio. I trained under him for 3months. Since I had a little knowledge in production, I knew the precise questions to ask to dig into his deep well of music knowledge

By this time, I really wished for a not even a studio but the basic tools for music production.
My computer was “struggling”,
I had no monitors (studio speakers), and My microphone desperately needed an upgrade. I constantly prayed and tried to save up for these things…

But in all these struggles, God still used these basic tools to release great songs and movie sound tracks. People didn’t believe that these tracks came from my room.
Then in 2017, after the fourth album dropped, God provided a proper studio mic and a better computer in 2018

Then finally in Dec 2018 God provided a space suitable for a studio. Two small rooms. I called the studio builder to analyze the space and pen down the cost.
When I saw the figure my brain froze lol!All we did was to break the wall for the glass demarcation between both rooms.

I wished to complete the studio matters before my wedding for obvious reasons, but it wasn’t possible.
After the wedding, I slowly started acquiring little studio equipments and keeping them in faith for the studio that was still at a stand-still.

I converted a portion of a room in my house to a “studio” seeing as work must continue, right? Smiling face with open mouth and smiling eyes. “At the right time my studio will rise”, I concluded.

It was like this until earlier this year 2020 when God moved mightily. Bit by bit it all started coming together. We changed to breaking the wall completely, then started padding and painting.
From the walls to the floor to the ceiling etc…

The night before the launch, my table and studio couch arrived, (s/o to @ifeoluwa_OG )
I sat in there that night wondering how God did it. He has taken me through a decade of humble beginnings, trainings and rugged faith while still glorifying Himself in the songs and tracks.

He proved to me that He doesn’t need a great studio to release the best tracks but can still provide it at His own time if we trust him.
The best part of this testimony is that if we had pushed for the studio to be set up before now; it would never have been this good

Here’s to a new chapter in this ministerial journey of the Mount Zion Music Studios. Glory to God also for the launch of the Mount Zion Video Studio and Mount Zion Radio.

I hope this testimony has encouraged someone out there to keep moving, keep pushing forward on that ministerial journey. God sees the efforts and faithfulness you put towards the little and He will reward you appropriately in His time.

Oh and today, I was blessed to have my father-in-love visit the studios and sit on my chair Smiling face with open mouth and smiling eyes

This is quite inspiring and encouraging.. congratulations to Jaymikee and the entire MZFM STUDIO CREW
