At an early age, she developed ion for music and fully committed to singing in the church choir at age 19. From her early childhood days, listening to music has always been a thing of solace and inspiration to her.
Her Style of Music
Her contemporary style and power house voice captures the heart of western contemporary elements, but fused with a strong cultural African rhythmic vibe, over dynamic vocals that are laced with appealing aura to both young and old.
The release of her debut single ‘’ You Walk with Me ‘’ from her forthcoming album ‘’ His Songs in My Heart, ‘’ is a powerful worship song that represents the power and presence of God. The song takes you to that special place and into a mode of reverence and honor.
Her effort on ‘’ You Walk with Me ‘’ is awesome and incredible, for a first time artist like her.
What She Thinks About Music
It’s no doubt she’s an embodiment of talent and music lives in her. ‘’ Music to me is a source of inspiration, a means of communication, and an expression of gifts ‘’ she says.

How her Music Can Influence Others
She thinks her music will influence others through the songs she’s enabled to write, by the grace of God. She believes “they will inspire people to worship and glorify God, knowing that to glorify God alone was the purpose for which we were made.”
