A talented singer and EeZee Conceptz’s signee, Duoye Ajeh, describes himself as a ‘true worshipper’, and that much is evident in his latest single titled, ‘Dwelling in your Presence’.
Delivered with a melody that has both harmony and depth, the song puts the listener in a heightened mood of reverence and worship to God.
Recalling how he got inspiration for the song, Ajeh said, “I had an opportunity to talk to other musicians at a seminar/training, and after the session, we just started worshiping and ministering to God. Then the lyrics of the song dropped in my heart, and I started singing them instantly. The whole song practically came to me instantly.”
The singer also noted that he still has a lot of ground to cover in his promising career. He said, “I just barely started (my career). And, there is a lot more ground to cover. I strongly believe that this is the least I will ever be, and there is greater to come. Starting off my solo career featuring American singer, Todd Dulaney, on my first song titled, ‘Awamaridi’, was a big opportunity I do not take for granted. My pastors, Biodun and Modele Fatoyinbo of the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA) church made that happen.”
Acknowledging the ‘massive’ impact his record label, EeZee Conceptz, has had on his career, Ajeh said, “It has had a massive impact. They are the biggest gospel music conglomerate in Africa, and that boost and platform have given me a massive takeoff velocity that no ordinary starter in the gospel scene can easily have. Their name and pedigree is a sure door-opener.”
The forward-thinking gospel minister also stated that he was ready to put in the work by staying consistent and attaining a legendary status in the industry.
The ‘astutely melodic’ singer affirmed that most of his songs were ‘sweet’; even as he restated his belief that his listeners would be blessed based on their interactions with his music. He added, “My songs are not just to entertain people; they are also meant to be a blessing to their lives.”
