Who Is Mighty?
“Mighty”
1. …having great power or authority
2. …Imposing or awesome in size,
degree, or extent
3. …exceptional
When asked to describe himself in
just one word, Sayo Martin Babatunde said simply and without hesitation; “mighty”.
“Because God made me in his image.
To me, He is the Almighty. I’m made in His image but I am not Him, I’m not
Almighty. However, through Him I am ‘Mighty’…in all aspects of life. Hence, the
name”
Described by many as “a new
breed”, Mighty’s unique music style captures and captivates the attention of
his audience.
“I used to think that during a
performance, that if people did not shout and scream then they were not
enjoying my piece. However, now I have come to realize that when I perform,
people actually sit and truly listen to what I have to say. I prefer people to
listen to my lyrics and gain something from it than people just being on a
hype”
Described by some as a very
fruitful role model for youths, Mighty believes that through music he can
change people’s lives for the better. Along with his strong Christian values,
Mighty makes sure he is a man of his word and delivers relevant messages with
an amazing level of lyrical technicality and diversity. “He’s one of those
artists you listen to and understand what’s he saying straight away but then
listen to the same lyrics months later and find something new woven into the
lyric you’ve heard before. He brings out a lot of character through his music.
A true wordsmith.”
A passionate artist who truly
believes in every lyric he writes, there is more to Mighty than meets the eye.
Where is he coming
from?
Hailing from the streets of East London, Mighty is a young artist who has seen and experienced first hand the hardships
life bring. For a boy who has experienced the hardships of London and both
learnt the tough traditions and deeply rooted values of the motherland in his
time spent there, it is not surprising that he has little to say about himself
but much more to say about his lifestyle and music. He infuses within his music
his past experiences allowing people to relate to what he has to say.
He describes himself as a delivery
boy, bringing to people the mental and Spiritual nutrients they need for
reaching their God intended potential. Unlike most artists who seem to be spending
time and energy promoting the problems we face Mighty has made a decision to
focus more on the solutions to the problems, the solution he says from his
experiences in life is God.
Mighty is a role model to the
youth. At 21, he knows the true value of education. He is currently completing
a law degree and hopes to further himself in education in order to enhance his
skills and reach his potential.
His approach to music is one of
honesty; not ready to conform but able to relate to his audience.
