That year, she won the Ikorodu Radio Music Challenge, earning a 50,000 naira prize and recognition from Omo’ba Peju Akinyemi for inspiring young talent. Her debut single, “Amazing,” released in November 2020 via EmPawa Africa, introduced her soulful sound to gospel audiences.

Her 2022 hit “Koseunti,” a reimagined Christ Apostolic Church worship song, went viral, propelling her to fame. Other notable releases include “My Daddy, My Daddy” (2022, feat. Lawrence Oyor), “B’Ola (Honour)” (2023), and “Holy Spirit” (2024).

She performed at the Dubai Expo in November 2022 with A.R. Rahman and at Joe Mettle’s Christmas concert, showcasing her international appeal.

Her 2023 releases, including “Prophetic Worship Medley, Vol. 2” and “Prevailing Worship,” blend traditional African drums with contemporary gospel, earning over 7.7 million Spotify streams for “B’Ola.” Collaborations with artists like TY Bello (“Closer Than Close”), Folabi Nuel (“He’s Alive”), and Yinka Okeleye (“Soaking Worship – Pt. 2”) highlight her versatility.
