    How we battled the effect of our dad’s death, by Ejire Aditu

    Gospel duo, Taiye and Kehinde Ejire have described their journey into the world of gospel music as testament to their unwavering determination and faith.

    The gospel singers, who hail from Ogbomosho, Oyo State, said the journey hasn’t always been smooth sailing.

    According to the twins, their educational journey began in Kaduna State, but a tragic turn of events altered their path.

    They said the untimely demise of their father disrupted their education, prompting them to relocate to Abuja. Faced with challenges, they decided to pursue adult education as a means to continue their learning journey.

    For them, music was not a choice but a calling that manifested at a young age. Taiye Ejire John recalled composing songs as early as the age of seven.

    “Music became our medium of expression, allowing us to communicate with the world.”

    Our music is deeply rooted in gospel, carrying a message that we describe as S.I.E.M: spiritual, inspirational, educative, and motivational.

    Choosing gospel music was a conscious decision for the duo. They saw themselves as ministers through song, not merely entertainers.

    Their musical journey began in 2002, marking over two decades of dedication to their ministry. “We’ve produced numerous albums and singles that have touched the hearts of many. Some of our notable albums include ‘Aditu Ogo,’ ‘Let There Be Favour,’ ‘Ile Ogo Timo,’ ‘Famigoke,’ and ‘Rin Ile mi Koja.’

    In addition to their albums, they have released impactful singles such as ‘Etun Ona Oluwa Se,’ ‘Yeshua Hamashiach,’ ‘Iyin Ye O,’ ‘Efi Olorun se Akoko,’ ‘Baba Modupe,’ and ‘Ogo fun Olorun.’

    Their latest work, released on September 8, is a testament to their enduring passion for preading the message of faith and hope through gospel music.
