Introducing
Nonye Jayne Nze-Agwanihu popularly known as Nonye, a Gospel music
minister based in Benin City – Edo State, Nigeria. Born into a family of
levites, where they sang along together as kids and also sang songs
mostly written by her eldest brother, Dr Chidi Obi who has had a great
influence in Nonye’s musical career so far.
Nonye
discovered her love and passion for music during her secondary school
days, from singing hymns, psalms and leading her secondary school choir
to leading worship in one of the biggest worship concerts (Worship and
Clouds) in Nigeria.
Her influences are Shirley Caesar, Kierra Sheard, Brooklyn Tabernacle Mass Choir, Cece Winans and the Clark Sisters.
“It’s
been a journey for me, while as a little girl, I watched my mom sing in
the choir (Catholic Charismatic Corner Stone Choir), my love for music
grew, I started singing in house fellowship, then to secondary school,
the university and then it transitioned into Worship and Clouds, that
exposed me into another dimension of music and worship leading. I will
describe my music as soulful. A sound that will take us back to the
threshold floor”.
Her
debut single “Chioma Mo” which means “My Good God” in Igbo (a tribe in
Eastern Nigeria) dialect is an expression of God’s goodness. God is
everything that is truly good in this world, and conversely, the evil of
this world is the opposite of God.
In the song, Nonye expressed the goodness of God and why we should have faith in His righteousness.
Nonye’s sound is inspired by love for God and humanity. She hopes to spread the message of love, hope and peace with her music.
“The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him.”–
“Chioma Mo” was produced by Nyero Avwomakpa for KayRos Production.
Available on all digital stores now.
