#GRFireStarter by Nikki Laoye: INTRODUCING "BLESSAL" (FROM LAGOS,NIGERIA)



Another week comes with another female artist blazing the trail on #GRFireStarter, the new segment on Singer/Radio Host, Nikki Laoye's weekly radio show, "Girls Rock With Nikki Laoye", showcasing fast rising female Gospel artists blazing a new trail in the music industry.

This week, we have Singer/Songwriter, BLESSAL, whose full name is Blessing Aludo, a contemporary recording artist with a passion to bless lives through her soul-inspiring music.  
With a great lyrical style and gentle rich vocals, she stands out in a way that exudes simplicity, originality and grace as she reaches out with the message of God’s love, hope, purpose and worship through wholesome quality music. 

Her stage name "Blessal" is a simple prayer which means ‘Bless All’.

Music has always been an important part of Blessal’s life, as her paternal grandfather was a part-time musician, maternal grandmum, a musician, her mum, a chorister and her father, a music lover who greatly influenced her love for music by exposing her and her siblings to a rich blend of different genres of music while growing up. 
Her parents discovered her love for music before the age of two and recorded an audio of her singing and speaking rhythmically and passionately in unknown words. At age seven, she joined her first choir, the children’s choir at her home church and led them in various songs.
In 1995, she and her siblings, together formed a music group and were invited to sing in churches and events. 

Blessal has since then, served in various choirs and music groups till date.
She has also worked with Music Icons like ASA, Darey Art Alade, Muyiwa Olanrewaju, Pita, Eric Arubayi, Ayo Vincent and many more.
Blessal currently serves in the Lagos Metropolitan Gospel Choir, House on the Rock, Lagos.


Her official debut single, ‘Kele Ya’ is an expression of heartfelt gratitude and reverence to God. ‘Kele Ya’ is an igbo word meaning ‘Thank Him’. And speaking on the song she said, “My heart is overflowing with worship and thanksgiving and I just want to share this experience with the world.”

The song was produced, mixed/mastered by the prolific Zino J with Acoustic guitar by Nelson Ekperi, Tenor background vocals by Tiena Egbegi and Piano by Truchords (Obzyl James).

Blessal's vision is to be a voice of positive global transformational impact and to populate God’s Kingdom.

MUSIC: AYO VINCENT - GREAT & MIGHTY GOD



After a brief hiatus, the delectable AYO VINCENT releases her latest single, GREAT AND MIGHTY GOD.
The inspiring worship song which she recorded in her local dialect, Yoruba and in English is sure to take you to new heights of worship to our God.

Speaking about the inspiration behind the song, Ayo shares , 
"On my way home from a dress rehearsal, thoughts of Jesus filled my mind...
He is the word of God made flesh
He doesn't just give life
He is Life himself
Everything in this world was created by Him.
Then I heard the word "great" but it wasn't enough to  describe
Jesus the "Christ" 1st begotten of the dead and 1st born of the Most high. The truth is no word created by man can describe his Majesty. The word "Great" can only scratch the surface, for He is God. The "Great and Mighty God"

Song written by: Simeon Inyang
