Interviewer: Godshield Ifiok Ufford, thank you for joining us today. Can you share with us how music became a source of strength for you during a challenging period?

Godshield Ifiok Ufford: Thank you for having me. Music has always been more than just a passion; it’s been my lifeline. There was a time when I faced deep heartbreak and found myself sinking into depression. It felt like I was carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders.

Interviewer: That sounds incredibly tough. How did you realize that music could help you cope with those emotions?

Godshield Ifiok Ufford: It was a moment of clarity amidst the darkness. I remember sitting down with my NOTEPAD, writing absentmindedly. As I started to sing about my memories and intentions, I felt a shift. It was as if the music was speaking to the pain inside me, offering a way to express what I couldn’t put into words.

Interviewer: That must have been a powerful realization. How did music continue to support you on your journey?

Godshield Ifiok Ufford: It became my therapy. Every time I picked up my guitar or sat at the piano, I was able to channel my emotions into melodies and lyrics. It was a cathartic release, a way to process my feelings and find solace in the rhythm and harmony.

Interviewer: Did sharing your music with others play a role in your healing process?

Godshield Ifiok Ufford: They are intertwined in ways I couldn’t have imagined before. My music is a reflection of my journey—every joy, sorrow, and moment of growth. Through songwriting and performing, I’ve learned to embrace authenticity and use my experiences to connect with others on a deeper level.

Interviewer: What advice would you give to others who may be going through similar challenges and looking to music for solace?

Godshield Ifiok Ufford: I would encourage them to let music be their companion through the storm. Whether it’s playing an instrument, singing, or simply listening to meaningful songs, music has a way of touching the soul and offering comfort. It’s a reminder that our emotions are valid and that healing is a journey we can embark on together.
