Gospel music, tool for healing, says Tosin Bee
Widely travelled Nigerian gospel artist, Oluwatosin Adejumobi, aka Tosin Bee ,’ has said that contrary to opinion held in certain quarters, music and ministry are intertwined.
“They flow from the same purpose. My artistry is an extension of my ministry, so when I create music, I’m not switching hats; I’m expressing the same calling in a different language,” he said.
While being intentional with his time, spiritual life, he revealed that prayer, service to humanity, and obedience to God has continued to guide the kind of music he makes and the platforms he accepts.
“When God is at the center, everything else finds its place naturally. For me, music becomes a tool, not a distraction, and ministry becomes impactful beyond the four walls of the church.”
Tosin Bee’s praise songs, including ‘Adurotini,’ ‘More Than Able’, and ‘Songs of Joy,’ have enjoyed both acceptance and review in different quarters.
“We just released the third instalment of our signature live praise recording known as ‘Praise Unlimited 3.’
This is coming after the resounding success of ‘Praise Unlimited Volumes 1 and 2,’ which millions have enjoyed all over the world. According to Tosin Bee, ‘Praise Unlimited 3’ represents a significant milestone in the ‘Praise Unlimited’ series.’
He disclosed that the project showcased the remarkable growth and development his team, BeezleNation, has had.
While many find it difficult to balance career and other aspects of life, such as family and personal time, the gospel artist said he had done very well by being intentional and setting priorities.
“As much as music is a big part of my life, it cannot come before God, family and personal well-being. These are things I’m deliberate about – because they keep me grounded.”
On the up-and-coming artists, Tosin Bee advised that they should focus on building relationships with God, nurture it, grow it, and then they can start working on their platforms.
“Our type of music is not just about having a good voice or being talented; you have to work on ensuring your music carries a positive message, and that your lifestyle reflects what you sing and minister.”
He believes that gospel music plays a major role in society, especially at a time when people are facing different challenges– including economic uncertainty and emotional struggles.
“Our music brings hope, reassurance, and a reminder of God’s presence.
“It’s a tool for healing, encouragement, and spiritual awakening. Gospel music helps shape values, strengthen faith, and unite people across different backgrounds. In Nigeria, particularly, it has become a voice that speaks peace, resilience, and purpose to the nation. It reminds us of who we are, where our help comes from, and the fact that God is still very much involved in our everyday lives,‘ he disclosed.
