Photos: Scenes from Frankie Walter's album launch

The whole air was charged with excitement and appreciation as the crowd sang, danced and cheered-on act after act that performed at the album launch of Abuja emerging artiste; Frankie Walter. The album titled Misconception, which marks his debut, was launched at the Blakes Resort in Garki with a befitting audience. It revived the essence of live concert, as the artistes performed only to the backing of a live band.   



 The event pulled together singers, music producers, comedians and music lovers including entertainment personalities like Big Mo of Wazobia Fm, comedians; Chuks D General, Shortcut, Mc Okoli, singers; Blessing Tangban, Eve Aurah, Rubunu (MTN Project Fame), CEF, The Isomers, music producers; Mac Roc, Ekeyz, with guest appearance by Amb. Kingsley Amafibe of Peace Achievers Awards, to mention a few. Bash Amuneni of Freedomhall treated guests to several spoken words recital, which got the crowd silently listening, followed by massive cheers.   


 "This album is like my first baby and it means the world to me, considering I literally have none. You know how a mother feels when she's been trying to take in for years and it's not happening and then she eventually takes in and delivers her baby? That's how I feel tonight.   


 "I feel absolutely blessed and honoured for the impressive turnout. Again, I'm not surprised because I prayed for this and it happened. I want everybody to get the album because what just happened here tonight is just the tip of the iceberg. Come January 2017, my team and I would be embarking on an African tour, which would subsequently be followed by a world tour. My career projection is for my songs to stand the test of time long after I'm gone", Walter commented concerning how he feels about the album and what's next for him.  


 The event came to an end on a spiritual note as Frankie performed a gospel title; You're Part of Me which moved most of the crowd to worship. After his performance, he was joined on stage by his mother as she led the closing prayer, asking God for more grace upon him.
