However, for these people, the house of God wasn’t just a place of prayer but a place that kinda skyrocketed them to fame in the music industry where they are currently. Here are a few Nigerian musicians who got their start in the pews of the choir before hitting the jackpot in the entertainment industry. 1. Chidinma Before Chidinma Ekile won Project Fame West Africa, she was a chorister at the Foursquare Gospel Church 2. Waje As a young and gifted singer, Waje sang in church and was so good that the late Archbishop Benson Idahosa of the Word of Faith Church, Benin decided to cater for her all through her secondary school days. 3. Darey Art Alade Darey was born into a family of performers like his father and he joined the wagon. At 8, he joined the children’s choir and even led the school choir in school. He was also a member of the choir of the Cathedral Church of Christ and took lessons at the Musical Society of Nigeria. 4. J Martins J Martins caught the music bug from his mother who was a choir mistress. He was in the church choir and even produced for some gospel singers. 5.

Wande Coal Wande Coal began singing in the teenage choir at his church. He became a dancer for the then Mo’Hits and then moved over to singing. 9. Seyi Shay Seyi started singing in the choir at the age of six and was part of her secondary school choir. 10.
