Gospel Icon Africa, a faith based talent discovery show, has berthed with a mission to reward talents in Christ.
This was made known at a recent media unveiling to herald the commencement of the show with an audition scheduled for the third quarter of 2023.
Organisers of the show led by Bamidele Martins, Esther Oladeji, Segun Oluwayomi and established gospel singer Big Bolaji expressed that the faith based talent discovery show is aimed at changing the narratives of Gospel music in Africa and giving up-and-coming Gospel artists a platform to show their talent.
The organisers revealed that the winner of Gospel Icon Africa would walk home with N10 million, a car, and a two-year record deal and a tour across the world with an established Gospel act. It was also announced that the last top nine talents would be getting incentives like cash prizes, and gadgets among others.

Martins, the Chief Executive Director of the project noted that the show is a form of empowerment for up-and-coming gospel singers, including professionals.
“We have so many people partnering with us already in the area of a tour for the winner. More importantly, we are also going to engage the remaining nine participants. Our focus is to mentor the top ten and empower them,” said Martins.
Reiterating the essence of the show as carefully created for talents with the Christian faith, Oladeji, said the show would create a platform for true worshippers to connect with God and bless humanity.
On his part, Oluwayomi explained that the talent show would be unique to other talent shows, urging all Christians who can sing to apply.
