In 1984 Bob Geldof and Midge Ure, two of the biggest names in the music world founded Band Aid to change the world and to raise money for anti-famine efforts in Ethiopia. When Bob and Midge Ure launched Band Aid people thought music could not change the world. However, it did.
With the release of ‘Do They Know It’s Christmas’, over the years with the amount of money raised, Band Aid has and continues to change lives. Another artist who wants to change the world is an up-and-coming rapper called Alright.
‘Alright’, who has been described as one of the most exciting rappers of his generation wants to use his music to change the world. He is more than a musician and songwriter, he is a man with a vision, a vision that everyone in the world should have, and that vision is world peace.
With all the unrest in the world ‘Alright’ believes that world peace can be achieved. He believes that music can be a powerful tool to help heal the world. With his powerful music, and gaining fans all around the world, ‘Alright’ could do the same for world peace as Bob Geldof did for famine.
I decided to sit down with ‘Alright’ and learn more about the man behind the music that is blowing up the world. This is what he had to say.
Can I ask what was the first record you bought?
My first record was a crate of Drum n bass records.
You are an up-and-coming Rap Artist that has gained fans around the world, why did you decide to become a rap artist and not a pop artist?
I have been into Hip-hop since my youth so moving from Djing to rapping was a natural transition
How did you come up with your artist name?
My artist name is something thats kind of evolved. Because of my bible based lyrics it was The Alrighty one, then was shortened to Alright, and now it is Alright King as I believe we have all been given a crown under Christ.
There is a lot of upheaval around the world, but you are calling for world peace, why is world peace so important to you?
Now more than ever talks of peace are extremely important for the wellbeing of all of Gods children I believe that each one of us has a responsibility to strive for a peaceful future
What would you like to see happen to try and gain world peace?
I would like to see communication working in that direction. The proposal i have works towards that aim.
Do you believe world peace is achievable?
I do believe it is achievable and will be achieved with proper co-operation ambition and focus
How important to you is world peace?
I believe it is extremely important to all of mankind
You have previously said that certain interpretations of biblical prophecy, Armageddon (Megiddo) is seen as a symbolic place of final conflict or great turmoil. Some religious traditions anticipate that this event will be followed by the return of Jesus Christ and the establishment of a new era of peace and harmony. Do you truly believe that?
We should all work towards a world of peace and harmony. When will be the return of my King is unknown
Music has played an important part in important matters to raising money for Aids charities, starving children, and making people aware of the damage being done to the planet, do you believe that music can help in promoting and achieving world peace?
I do strongly believe that music is a very powerful healing tool that can be used on a global scale
How are you going to use your talents in promoting world peace?
I’d like to do more charity events…All of my music is based around the idea of world peace. We need to consider it a viable possibility and i believe that it is.
Your album Pure God given gold has received a lot of exposure, how hard was it to decide what went on the album?
I live by humble means and honestly that album is very raw… made in the basement kinda thing.. I have many more songs id like to release and i’m hoping to find a label.
Why do you believe Pure God given gold has become a hit with fans?
It has a positive vibe and a message that a lot of people can relate too. Is good to have visions of a better future
You have gained fans all around the world, so when can we expect to see you going on tour?
I am willing to travel or even relocate for the right gig or even the right label.
At the moment you are unsigned but are currently being represented to major record labels by Producer Leon Youngblood Sr., so does this mean we can expect big news in the future of you being signed?
Mr. Youngblood has been amazing! We conferring with some labels now and hoping to come to come to an agreement. Fingers crossed.
If you could perform with any artist in the world to promote world peace, who would it be and why?
I love so many great artists. I would really love to see them all there and in reality who wouldn’t want to preform at an event of this magnitude
Would you like to see one day a year where concerts took place around the world to promote world peace?
That would be amazing… Any advication or action towards peace is admirable
For people who have never heard your music, where can they listen to it?
