The Word of God and music have been central to his journey.

Soji Akinleye ministers through song — as a singer, a songwriter and a bassist who moves easily between instruments. His music brings together the rhythm of Afro-gospel and the openness of contemporary worship.

From the first True Worship concert in 2008 through singles such as “Maajo Maayo”, “Dimimu (Hold Me)” and “Praise Delicacy”, the journey has led to his debut album, Highly Favoured, released in 2026.
