He never planned to record his songs in:”Digital format “and share it with the world. Around middle/late 2004, Peter imoje heard the songs of the heavy metal Goth band, Evanescence.

Peter imoje kept on recording songs with his tape recorder until early 2010(March) when he decided to purchase a digital voice recorder. Around then, Peter imoje’s inspiration from Gothic music and Classical Baroque music was very strong. He decided to purchase a digital recorder because he found out that he just had to share his voice recordings with others and the world and also because he wanted to save his voice recordings for a long time. He found out that tape recordings were a total waste of time, and that he could do nothing with them except listen to them at home alone. Digital recording was therefore the answer Peter imoje has been looking for. With his digital recorder, peter could record his home made vocals in mp3 format, save them and upload them whenever he wanted to. Peter officially began to record his vocals in March 2010 and he recorded over 55 vocals. Presently, Peter imoje has recorded over 112 vocals and now, he plans to share his vocals with the world.

Peter imoje only has written lyrics for some few songs and these songs too, are dark. Born into a Roman Catholic home, Peter imoje was also greatly inspired by solemn catholic hymns most especially, Lenten hymns and hymns for the dead. Peter Imoje has therefore decided to record songs from the hymn book (Lenten hymns and hymns for the dead).

The vocalist says that more of his voice recordings will be out soon.

According to him, he does not know the main reason why, but he mentions the fact that his shy nature presents itself psychologically each time he wants to sing his favorite song. He mentions that each time he starts recording a song he really needs to concentrate on, he becomes anxious and kind ‘a shy to hit some notes and apply some beautiful twists to the vocals because he knows he has to be perfect in the song. He says that the shy feeling and anxiety he has about the song he wants to sing reduces the ability to perform that song to the fullest. According to peter, it’s a mild psychological case.
