Worried with the proliferation of gospel music
in Nigeria, Africa and the World, the Minstrels
digital music app platform powered by
eTranzact in collaboration with LifeTree
Resources Inc and leading Nigerian gospel
ministers is set to tackle piracy in the music
industry.
From Africa to Europe, Gospel music from
Nigerian gospel minsters has filtered into
churches, homes and schools via different
unaccounted sources; illegal cds, USB devices,
monetized digital uploads by pirates with
almost zero revenue coming back to the
artistes who have invested time and effort In
creating the content.
The platform which has a website and mobile
apps for Android and IOS Users launched in
Lagos last week is expected to eliminate the
use of unconventional means of music
distribution tackling piracy, providing a multi-
platform solution for consuming content,
promoting gospel music and giving more
control to how the gospel minstrels distribute
their work.
Nathaniel Bassey led a team of 16 other
Minstrels including Frank Edwards, Sammie
Okposo, Aity Dennis Inyang, Glowreeyah
Braimah, Enitan Adaba, Victoria Orenze,
Olumide Iyun, Nosa Omoregie, Obiora Obiwon,
Eben, Joe Praize, Pat Uwaje-King, David
Nkennor, Ese Mario, Doris ‘Dumah and Wilson
Joel to the press launch.
Backed by a world class technology team,
payments for content is powered by
eTranzact’s BankIT which allows users buy
directly from their Bank accounts.
The Minstrels platform allows users to
purchase, download and listen to spirit lifting
music on the go, enjoy exclusive releases from
the Minstrels on the app, stream live music
performances and get direct access to the
Minstrels with special themed events and
meetups, share and gift songs and albums to
friends and family, create playlists for different
occasions and chat with their favourite
minstrels and send them messages
Similarly, the platform allows Gospel Minstrels
access to a cloud based repository to store all
their content- Audio, Video and other music
formats, live stream events to a large

central location with prices set by them and
