Limoblaze is also a two-time winner of the African Gospel Music and Media Awards (2018, 2019), Crystal Awards Best International Act Award Winner (2019), and Premier Gospel Awards Best International Act winner.

He has collaborated with Christian music artists such as Lecrae, Travis Greene, Ada Ehi and Da Truth.

Speaking about his vision for his project and new label partnership, Limoblaze said, “This moment is the beginning of something special. I believe I am uniquely positioned within Christian Music to inspire the world to see the potential in putting God at the centre of their lives and chasing their dreams.”

His forthcoming EP, Sunday In Lagos showcases his unique flow over colourful sonics, giving listeners a taste of what it is like to be in Lagos, Nigeria’s capital city on a day of celebration.

“I grew up in the street, but my parents didn’t let the streets raise me,” shares Limo. “Most of the time I was performing in talent shows and at free local events, often with a live band which made my performances unique.”

The leading single from his Sunday in Lagos EP, “Jireh (My Provider) Afrobeat Remix” ft. Happi and Lecrae was created after identifying a viral social media clip posted by Happi that featured an Afrobeat flip on the popular Maverick City single.

The internet success led to a surge of streams that placed the song on Billboard’s US Afrobeat song chart peaking at #31, Billboard’s Hot Christian Songs chart peaking at #41, and Billboard’s Gospel song chart peaking at #15.
