Emerging Star — Tomi Folayan: Nigeria’s Gospel Voice Breaking Boundaries
In the ever-evolving landscape of Nigerian gospel music, a new name is making waves both at home and abroad — Tomi Folayan. Known for his electrifying stage presence and soulful worship delivery, Tomi is quickly becoming one of the most talked-about voices in the gospel scene.
The Rise of “Saluting Twale”
It all began with his viral hit “Saluting Twale”, a song that blends infectious African rhythms with deep worship lyrics. The track didn’t just resonate in churches — it broke into Spotify’s Nigeria Viral Songs chart and became a regular feature on gospel playlists across Africa.
Making History in the UK
2025 has been a monumental year for Tomi. In a groundbreaking moment, he headlined “TEHILLAH”, a major gospel concert in the United Kingdom — making him the first Nigerian gospel artist to achieve such a milestone on that scale. The event sold out, with fans traveling from across Europe to witness the historic night of praise and worship.
A Sound for the Nations
Tomi’s music is rooted in African praise but carries a global appeal. His powerful vocals, heartfelt lyrics, and contemporary arrangements make his songs relevant to every generation of believers. Whether it’s an upbeat praise track or an intimate worship ballad, his sound draws people closer to God.
What’s Next?
With more singles and collaborations on the way, Tomi Folayan shows no signs of slowing down. His vision is clear: to spread the gospel through music that speaks to hearts and transcends borders.
In Tomi’s own words:
“My mission is to make Jesus famous through every lyric, every melody, and every stage I step on.”
