Reuel Elijah born Marlon Bertram believed many of the hit songs that are being played today became hit music by accident.

The RnB singer advised fresh talents in the music industry to be intentional about their music. He said this is an excellent way to focus on churning out hit songs that will be acceptable to most listeners.

He also held that many songs became popular by accident because of how they made people feel when they listen to them. “There is no secret, a hit is a hit and some people do it by accident. It’s how it makes people feel. But having an intention is always a great star.”

Reuel Elijah concluded by hammering on originality, pointing out that it is an important factor that will give a song wider coverage and more listening ears.

Reuel Elijah is a South Wales-based musician of Nigerian descent. He was born into a family of musicians. He started music at a tender age in the church, thanks to his parents, whom he got inspiration from before he decided to pursue a career in it.
