Tosin Koyi - Jesu Oba

Someone said, ‘Gospel Music is not a genre but a message’, because within gospel music itself are many genres i.e spiritual, inspirational, choral, hymnal, hiphop, rock, afrobeat etc. How practitioners [often referred to as gospel artistes] interpret their message on a particular beat or sound is what differentiates them.

The emergence of TOSIN KOYI on the gospel music scene is indeed a breath of fresh air. His upbringing in a musically inclined family shows in his ability to fuse lyrics together in a technically astounding format, either to a vibrant Rock infused sound as in his first major single, EVERLASTING ARMS released online on major platforms a few months back [do check it out, you will like it] or to Afrobeat as shown in his latest effort , JESU OBA [King Jesus].

Jésù Ọba (King Jesus)
