Music Download: We Bring You The Praise – Joke Onojeghuo [@jazzpriestess]

Joke is a worship leader, church music consultant, keyboardist, drummer, music producer, director and arranger who has been in music ministry for over 20 years. Her main motivation is service to God through leading his people in praise and worship. Joke is multi-talented and very dynamic. She believes that her music capacity is a divine gift as she easily picks up things that others struggle with.

Joke has a National Diploma in Surveying from The Yaba College of Technology, a Higher National Diploma in Surveying and Geoinformatics from the Federal School of Surveying (FSS) Oyo, A BSc in Surveying and Geoinformatics from the University of Lagos and an MSC in GIS and the Environment from the University of Salford UK. She is currently in the final stages of her PHD in Geography with emphasis on the use of satellite data for atmospheric pollution monitoring.

In addition to her academic qualifications, she has bagged a few Music proficiency certificates from the Music Society of Nigeria (MUSON) Music School, Lagos.

Music for her has always been a hobby and a calling in addition to catering, lecturing and Motivational speaking. She is in high demand for Church Music Consulting and Choir structuring/restructuring basically because of the number of Music Teams and Choirs that she has successfully turned around.  She is also in high demand for speaking engagements at Music Seminars and Leadership Conferences.

Joke has received and won numerous awards of recognition for her contribution to music. Her most recently won award is the Pomerance award for exceptional contributions to music at the University of Leicester, UK.

She is currently the Music Director of the multiple award winning Leicester University Voices (LUV) who came first place in 2015 and first runners up in 2016 at the University Gospel Choir of the Year (UGCY) annual competition. It would be worthy to note that the Leiceter University Voices achieved this feat under her directorship.
She has also directed many other choirs including the Victory Word Choir of Victory Christian Church Lagos, the Winners Voices of Winners Chapel Awka, the Lancaster University Gospel Pentecostal Choir and The Vessels of Honour Choir at RCCG City of Favour Leicester, UK.

As a recording artiste, she has recently released a new single titled “We bring you the Praise”. She co-produced this latest work with Wole Oni, a multiple-award winning producer. It is worthy to note that “We bring you the Praise” has been well received by Music critics globally.

A few of her influences include Phil Collins, Tom brooks, Israel and the New breed, Chris Tomlin, Chris Moka, Richard Smallwood, Wole Oni , Kim Burrell and a host of others.
