Writeway are a gospel music collective from East London that consists of singers, rappers producers and songwriters.

As a collective they are determined Lead the world to live the right way! by making music with a positive influence entwined with their beliefs in the Christian faith. They have had the pleasure of working with commendable gospel artist such as Victizzle, Guvna Band Dwayne Tryumf in addition to performing at events in the UK and overseas.

I thought Id catch up with Tunday, one of the four members of the group to find out where it all started.

My Names Tunday, Im a gospel rapper, songwriter, and sports fanatic, I love gym and football. I released my 1st album Identity on 13th June 2009 at an album launch with the MOBO Award winning Victizzle who won the Best Gospel Act 2009 which attracted 2000 people the event. I also won an award in 2009 from the Christian Broadcast Council which gave me the chance to tour theUK and abroad sharing my life experiences at youth seminars in countries such as New York,Florida, St Lucia and India. I have also worked with men from prisons and Youth institutions. My style is a blend of Hip Hop, Indie Rock and R&B. I wanted to use music to influence the people around me to live a life that was in direct contrast to the negative lifestyle celebrated by so many. I understood the impact that music had on the growth of a person and felt there was a gap in society that an organisation with the right manifesto could fill. Luckily, I came across individuals who felt the same way and liked this concept. So we all started this Journey together. The name Writeway is taken from Proverbs 3:5-6 meaning for God to direct our steps and lead us in the right direction. The names spelt that way because we want to lead the world the right way through our writing

He feels that its very important to buy as an artist as Its a symbol of empathy and support. With the amount you invest as an artist, you wouldnt want to see it go down the drain when someone could have easily bought your material. We all bought Triple O's album, a UK gospel artist who released his small project called Come Home in December 2010. As a group we'd love to collaborate with Mali Music. His qualities are so diverse, a producer, a rapper a singer. He'd compliment our sound on a track because he sounds like 3 different people in one! Our music is aimed at young teenagers aged 13 and upwards. Our siblings are those ages, and even though we are in our early 20's, we havent forgotten what its like to be in our teens and we obviously know what its like to be a young adult in this world. We appeal to this age group because we relate to them. Hed describe the journey so far as a roller coaster ride in the dark. Thrilling, fun but a scary ride because you just dont know whats going to happen next. Ive got a sophomore album out soon, but Im not going to reveal when it will be out just yet.
