AFRI-INLEO INITIATIVE 56// CONSISTENCY IN MUSIC PAYS OFF.
Welcome to Afri-inleo initiative Week 56 which came with an explosive theme called the role consistency in music. I could remember countless times I wrote something on consistency in different platforms in this beautiful sphere however it can't be overemphasized. Special thanks to the entire management for their efforts in quality delivery of this community.
Consistency entails the quality or capacity to maintain a thing over time. It means to maintain standards and being connected. It's an output of good results. Whatever we do in life requires consistency therefore this word can be applicable in all facets or unit of life but for this context I am restricted to music sphere. The value of consistency is enormous and helps to present a good habit.
Music has over time transformed lives for better in area of being creative, innovative and being effective in any given task.

One of the critical thing in the world of music lies within the borders of this word CONSISTENCY. When we talk about consistency in music it simply means being able to repeatedly maintain the tempo, pattern of music, melody etc. when one succeed in this, it sets one in another pedigree. Consistency plays a vital role as far as music is concerned. When I take a look at what's happening with the most music artist we have today, there is a clear variance between what we had in 1990s compared to what we have now.
Let me share of a man I respect so much anytime it comes to music. He has been a yardstick to an extent because he has lived to proof himself. He has been a gospel artist for more than five decades however I got to listen to his song in 1990s when I was much younger and growing up. His songs has become almost like an anthem to everyone especially myself. He has been maintaining the nature of music pattern such that anywhere you listen to him just once you could identify who is the singer.
I'm taking about Baba Panam Percy Paul (PPP) he has maintained consistency in so many areas as I highlight just few. His voice never changed and still sound fresh ever like before. This keeps me wondering and thinking how he worked on himself to keep paste with his voice. I perceived he must have disciplined himself over food and other things that has potential to damage his voice. He remains the man I could learn from all the time. Despite his number of years in the music industry his hasn't changed negatively.
To maintain consistency in music one must be open and broken and ready to learn new things. Like the aforementioned personality has gone beyond music to study to PhD level other areas of music. The last time I saw him he had more than three PhD in music. Ladies and gentlemen why won't he be consistent? Your level of knowledge determines how consistent you would be. From your depth of knowledge, you would be able to draw a niche or a genre which people and society will know you for.
Consistency in music enables the artist to develop mastery and develop more skills for composing songs, Voicing etc. Consistency helps you to develop a pattern.
The role of consistency in music is powerful and can't be removed.
Thanks.
