About a month ago, Greatman Takit took to his social media to appreciate Korale’s genius. In his words, ‘If truth be told, there would be no COMMANDO without this man. Koraleclasik is the brain and hands behind this song. He wrote 80% of the song, and I just wrote my verse’.
Today, we are putting the spotlight on Korale. Who is he? What does he do, and how much impact does he have in the Nigerian Afro-Gospel industry?
Who is Ko’rale?
Daniel Chukwunonso Johnson, who is popularly known as Ko’rale, is an urban trad, socio-gospel music producer, studio structure consultant, singer and song writer with a blend of creativity, nativity and professionalism. He believes in giving your heart enough room for expression. In his early days, Ko’rale was a fan of music concerts and he has always loved stage performance. Thus, he replicated this passion by hosting the first Urban Reggae Classical Music Concerts. He is also the founder of HAT (Hot and Talented) Community, a youth foundation bent towards grooming positive careers and developing to unleash them.
What are his hit songs?
While several people perhaps only know him for the hit song, ‘Commando’, he has also released a few other songs like:
- Saviour – This song is a remembrance of what God has done for us on the cross.
- Ogologo – I personally love this song because it gives the vibes you need to dance, relax and just chill. It is one of the songs you can add to your birthday playlist.
- Marcopollo – He describes how he would follow Jesus until the very end. The song is a lyrical depiction of what Jesus tells his disciples, ‘Follow me and I will make you fishers of men’.
- Better than a lover ft Coda – A classical soulful piece that describes the eternal love of God that never relents on saving a man.
- Now Ft Faith Child – He released the song’s video on his YouTube several months ago. The song is solemn, intriguing and melodious to the ear.
- He has also been featured by artists like Gaise Baba, Tjsarx, TY Bello and many more.
