Gospel singer and songwriter, Ify Nwaoduah, has confidently shared that she connects with God through her songs and uses her music to facilitate a deep connection with the divine power in others.
She is dedicated to inspiring, assisting, and focusing people, as well as motivating them to share about their faith in God.
As a graduate of Accounting from Nnamdi Azikiwe University, she proudly represented Abuja in the inaugural edition of Glo NaijaSings in 2019. Since then, she has created over 100 devotional prayer songs from the Book of Psalms, aimed at guiding and encouraging listeners to meditate.
Nwaoduah, who recently released a new single titled “Our Father,” confidently described the song as a powerful morning devotion and a profound, yet common, prayer. She emphasised the uniqueness and significance of the Lord’s Prayer (The Our Father) in churches, schools, and other gatherings, aiming to teach a simple prayer and remind people of the presence of God in their lives, leading them to worship.
In a recent interview with LEADERSHIP Sunday, Nwaoduah, discussed her remarkable journey in the music industry and the impactful nature of her songs. She boldly recounted her start in singing at the age of 14 as a member of the music club in her school and later joining her local choir in Lekki, Lagos.
Nwaoduah sees gospel music as a powerful medium to inspire, motivate, release tension, and communicate messages about God, allowing her to confidently connect with people.
The inspiration behind her music is rooted in fulfilling a purpose, worshiping, and connecting with a higher power. With unwavering confidence, Nwaoduah uses her music to reach both young and old audiences, encouraging them not to lose hope in God and themselves and to strive for a better society.
She boldly hopes that her music renews the heart, uplifts the soul, and provides an outlet for listeners to confidently connect and seek goodness through acts of faith, hope, and love.
The gospel singer said she is intentional about nourishing her body, mind, and soul, as well as spending time with loved ones. She implements creative ways of getting things done, no matter how small, and trusts her intuition and a greater force to turn things around for good.
