Born Of New Everlasting Spirit - J Bones.

Q. May we meet you?

       A. My name is Jimmy Adjoto

       

 Q. Why the name J bones?

       A.    J for Jimmy and Bones – Born Of New Everlasting Spirit was derived         

                  from the passage of Ezekiel 37 (the story of dry bones rising again. I never  

                  knew God would grant me another chance to be back into music after over  

                  a dozen years absent, I feel like Abraham who had a son at old age.

             Q.  Why did you choose to write this song “S.O.S”?

        A. I was just uncomfortable with the average Nigerian mentality where we  

                 are alright with the way things are as long as it doesn’t affect us directly

                   

     Q. Would you call your song a gospel song?

         A. It is a song of prayer for my Nation, What I do is music from my

                   perspective. I am a born again Christian – Christ will always reflect in

                   ALL I do one way or the other

   Q.   How do you intend to make sure this message gets to the right people and   

                  doesn’t end up only for entertainment?

        

       A.  I trust God for direction. I have loads of people who are a blessing and

                 have been sending it via the social media; we continue to trust that the TV  

                 and Radio will continue with their support too.

    Q.   What are your plans for your music career?

     

         A.  I will keep writing, recording and touring for as long as God permits me

     Q.  How has it been juggling music, work and your personal life?

          A.  It is quite challenging at the moment as part of the fund from work goes

                    into music and music is starting to take some time of my family life but I  

                    thank God for a capacity and also a fantastic and supporting beautiful  

                    wife.

      Q. What does music mean to you?

         A.   Music is my unseen friend that connects me to God and connects man to  

                   Jesus through me.

      Q. What does gospel mean to you?

         A.  Good News! We were doomed for Hell but Jesus died that we might live.

  Q.  Are you going to face your music career now or is it still on a part time 

         basis?

         A.  I am just letting God lead me a step at a time.
