Gospel musician Oluwatosin Adejumobi, known to many as Tosin Bee, has said that gospel music brings hope, reassurance, and a reminder of God’s presence to citizens of a nation, no matter how bad the situation in the country may be.
The gospel musician said this during a recent interview with Potpourri while speaking on the role of gospel music in national development.
Minister Tosin Bee, as he is also called, using Nigeria as a case study, said that when people are facing many challenges — economic pressure, uncertainty, and emotional struggles — gospel music brings hope.
He said, “Our music is not entertainment; 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.”
During the interview, Tosin Bee gave an insight into how he balances ministry with his personal life, saying that he believes balance comes from 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.
“I’m also learning to pace myself — knowing when to work, when to serve, and when to step back and recharge. A strong support system makes a big difference, and I’m thankful for those in my corner who support me both on and off the stage.”
On his upcoming project, the Olabisi Onabanjo University graduate said, “I’m really grateful for all the love and support I’ve enjoyed over the years from those who love our music. Over the past several months, I released a few tracks: ‘Adurotini’, ‘More Than Able’, and ‘Songs of Joy’.
“However, we just released the third instalment of our signature live praise recording known as ‘Praise Unlimited 3’. Following the resounding success of Praise Unlimited Volumes 1 and 2, which millions have enjoyed all over the world, Praise Unlimited 3 represents a significant milestone in the Praise Unlimited series.
“The project showcases the remarkable growth and development my team has had, in that we’ve dedicated ourselves to delivering excellence in every aspect of praise ministry.”
