Gospel
singer, Gloria Doyle, back in the days, made more name because of her
outrageous dress style than her music.
She
talks about her failed marriage and her music career in a recent interview;
You
are now marketing a hotel; have you left your music career?
No.
I have not left it. A friend of mine runs the hotel and I only help out to
market it. We are trying to create awareness.
Now
that you are into hospitality business, is it not taking your time?
If
I tell you that it is not taking my time, I would be lying. It is taking my
time but I am enjoying it. I will still go back to the studios. My fans
are saying that they need something from me.
There
was a time your outrageous dressing stood you out. Is that chapter closed?
I am
almost a grandmother. I am now a minister who ministers in churches. I
now tell people that I have been there before. I am more mature now. Then, I
think of my kids too. I need to put them into consideration as well.
Back
then, you didn’t care at all, you didn’t consider these stuffs you are
mentioning now.
I
no even ‘send anybody’ even at the moment. It is just that I am
more mature now.
How
come you never acted?
Actually,
I was auditioned last month. I was in the movie industry a long time ago. I did
quite a number of movies before I left the industry because of sexual
harassment. It was terrible. Some people felt I left because I couldn’t act.
But that was a lie. I did some very good movies. Producers would tell me they
would want to star me in a particular movie but I should come to a hotel first.
I felt these were people I ordinarily wouldn’t have anything to do with them if
not because of entertainment. They were now calling the shots and because you
were desperate to become a star, you would give in. But I couldn’t do that. If
you know your worth, you would definitely scale through. However, I invested my
time writing movies. I am not a desperate person. I have the face. I
was able to make my name. But I didn’t get to this level out of desperation. My
greatest concern now and which has made me proud are my kids.
