The
FOUNDER
Affectionately known as P Segs, Segun Lawal is the President & Chief Coordinator of the Spirit of David, Gospel Dance Club and has been since inception in April 1997. He has spearheaded the organization’s multiple events and performances over the last nineteen years and has well over 350 professional staged appearances, scripting over forty theatrical productions.
In almost 17 years or so of our service, I have witnessed too many miracles, close shaves and unbelievable favor to ever question the purpose of God upon us. At times, I wonder about it: Why would the Lord God Almighty choose to work through us (or anybody for that matter?) But He has…and He does. He took us in and brushed us up. He has used us to be blessings. We have challenged and touched lives all over the globe. We have redefined dance and choreography. We have glared at the face of our generation and boldly taken a different path.
Our generation desperately needs integrity and excellence and in Spirit of David we believe every act (on stage and off) must reflect this in totality. We realize that to ‘speak’ to our generation, we must learn the ‘language’ of our times. Today, especially among young people, that language is music and dance…and no one else speaks as fluently as we do!
