HISTORY[edit]
=
Movibez, formely known as Faith Praiz Sound Services and FAPWO, was founded by Faith Praiz in his home at Ebutte-Metta, Lagos, Nigeria. With a vision to impact people through music, he started the Music School in 1993, not knowing that a divine plan would also lead him into singing in the studio. While teaching in the music school, he felt the urge to compile a series of songs teaching churches. This birth the first album, a collection of 150 songs. This was the first of any kind. The then, chairman of (company of C-90 cassette), called the idea “Crazy”. In the early 90’s, 60 min casettes were used for single albums and 90min cassettes were like the DVD of now (in terms of capacity, duration). 150 songs certainly were out of the question. Faith Praiz was forced to reduce the songs to 100. Even at that he used C-90, printed a booklet and sold it the same price with a C-60.
This birth the inaguration of the Marketing Outfit of Movibez, which till date has prooved to be a mystery to Marking experts. With No distributtion deal, No short-lived subsidiary comapny catering towards the artist and leaving the business of marketing and promotion to an outside firm, Faith Praiz took to the street with a Cassette Player (sharp), standing beside the fuel station and selling. A Music store right beside the Gas station where faith sold had been initially approched asked to distribut the cassette after witness a mind-blowing success of the sales. Faith took this method on a larger scale, expanded and occupied Lagos and then Nigeria. This method, unknown to be an expert one, has barged the sales of All Faith’s work. More than 20 million records have been sold with “JoyFul Noise” selling more than 10 million copies.
The Music school produced expertise in singing, instrument playing, sound engineering, video production. An annualy held graduation concert, show-casing the graduants in each of their sections created the bedrock for several festivals, concerts and events organised by FAPWO. The Awareness and anticiaption grew. The success of these events drew the attention of artists, production, for services in both Live Production, Band Hire for Events and Studio Production. For a while this became the diadem for the company. So far, Movibez Band [JaztoKristos] has played at well over 500 events and still counting.
In the year 2001, Movibez [FAPWO] had been a force to reckon with in the industry, well-known as an all-round serving Music Entertainment Company.
