Quick Facts

Early Life and Background

Abbey Ojomu was born and raised in Lagos State and is associated with the Ibeju-Lekki area of the state. Public profiles identify her birth name as Abiodun Oyinda Wosilat Ojomu. Her exact year of birth has not been consistently established in reliable public sources, so it is not included here.

One of the most important parts of Ojomu’s personal story is her religious background. She was raised in a Muslim family before becoming a Christian. According to accounts of her testimony, a serious battle with tuberculosis in 2010 became a major turning point in her life. During the illness, she experienced a period of intense physical difficulty and turned to God in prayer. She has described that experience as the beginning of her conversion and eventual commitment to Christian ministry.

Her experience of illness, recovery and conversion subsequently became closely connected to her understanding of worship. Rather than treating music simply as a performance career, Ojomu came to view singing, prayer and the ministry of God’s Word as parts of the same calling.

Calling and Ministry

Following her conversion in 2010, Ojomu devoted herself to Christian ministry and developed her gifts as a worship leader and songwriter. She later served as a worship leader at Harvesters International Christian Centre in Lagos, where she gained experience leading congregational worship and ministering in a church environment.

Her ministry eventually developed beyond conventional church services. She became the convener of Qavah, a worship and prayer movement built around the idea of waiting on God. The name has also become closely associated with her music, particularly through “Qavah” and “We Behold (Qavah Anthem).”

Ojomu has also been associated with Realms of Glory, an online worship gathering through which she created a space for extended worship and prayer. The platform helped introduce her ministry to a wider audience and contributed to the growth of her profile among Nigerian Christians and listeners outside the country.

Music Career and Breakthrough

Ojomu’s music career developed alongside her ministry rather than following the conventional route of a commercial recording artist. Her early recordings established her as a worship-focused singer whose songs often emphasize intimacy with God, surrender and spiritual hunger.

One of her most important early releases was “Qavah,” which featured fellow Nigerian worship minister Theophilus Sunday. The collaboration became an important part of her growing identity and was followed by “We Behold (Qavah Anthem),” another collaboration with Sunday. Both songs helped establish Qavah as more than the title of a song, connecting Ojomu’s recorded music with the worship movement she was building.

Her subsequent releases included “Holyghost,” “We Share the Same Lover,” “You Cover Me” and “Sound of the King.” These songs reinforced the worship-centered direction of her music, while later projects demonstrated a growing interest in extended worship and prophetic expressions.

Musical Style and Notable Releases

Ojomu’s music is primarily rooted in contemporary Christian worship, although her sound also incorporates elements of African gospel and spontaneous worship. Her performances tend to emphasize atmosphere and vocal expression rather than heavily structured pop arrangements. She frequently uses repetition, prayerful declarations and extended vocal passages to create the kind of musical environment associated with live worship.

Her catalogue includes a number of collaborative and worship-oriented releases. King of Glory (Live) appeared in 2022, followed by projects such as We Behold (Qavah Anthem), You Cover Me and Sound of the King in 2023. In 2024, she released or appeared on projects including Jesus Encounter and Prophetic Worship and Dry Bones.

Her more recent catalogue has expanded further. The 300 (Live) and The Worshippers Weapon appeared in 2025, while I Will Not Be Moved was released in January 2026. The continued release of music alongside worship gatherings reflects the close relationship between Ojomu’s recording career and ministry work.

Major Collaborations

Collaboration has played an important role in Ojomu’s development as a worship artist. Her work with Theophilus Sunday is particularly significant, with the two appearing together on “We Behold (Qavah Anthem)” and other worship recordings. Their partnership places Ojomu within a wider movement of Nigerian worship music that emphasizes prayer, chants, spontaneous worship and extended spiritual meditation.

She has also appeared on recordings with a variety of gospel artists and worship collectives. Her credits include work with artists such as Judikay, Lawrence Oyor, BBO, Pelumi Deborah, Nosa and others. Her contribution to collaborative projects has generally centered on vocals and worship rather than conventional pop-style guest appearances.

Her collaborations demonstrate the breadth of her connections within Nigeria’s contemporary gospel community. They have also helped her music reach audiences who may first encounter her through another artist’s worship project.

Current Career and Influence

Abbey Ojomu continues to combine music with ministry, releasing worship recordings while developing worship gatherings associated with Qavah and her broader ministry activities. Her 2026 release I Will Not Be Moved and her continued collaborations show that she remains active as a recording artist. She has also continued working with Theophilus Sunday, including the 2026 single “Holyghost You And I Will Change The World.”

What distinguishes Ojomu’s career is the way her music and ministry have developed together. Her songs are not presented simply as standalone commercial releases. They form part of a wider approach to worship that includes prayer, spiritual reflection, conferences and online ministry.

From her conversion story and early years of worship ministry to the development of Qavah and her growing catalogue of worship recordings, Abbey Ojomu has become part of a new generation of Nigerian gospel ministers whose influence extends through both music and digital worship platforms. Her emphasis on intimacy, prayer and sustained worship has given her a distinctive voice within contemporary Nigerian Christian music.
