I’m vibrant, hardworking, and culturally rooted, says Enkay Ogboruche

Nigerian gospel singer Enkay Ogboruche has described herself as a vibrant, hardworking and culturally rooted personality, who loves God.

In a recent chat with The Nation, Ogboruche said, “I am vibrant, hardworking, culturally rooted, and forward-thinking. I am a woman who loves God, excellence, family, and people. I enjoy creating experiences that uplift, inspire, and deliver hope. Mentorship is also a big part of who I am.”

Working with several gospel acts across the world, Ogboruche explains the impact of the collaborations on her career.

“Working with American Grammy winner Kierra Sheard challenged me to raise my standards. Collaborating with Pastor Nathaniel Bassey, Caton Jones, Evelyn Wanjiru, and MOG amongst others helped me merge cultures and sounds. These collaborations expanded my reach and strengthened my versatility,” she said.

Ogboruche was quick to reveal that one of her best moments in the music industry is creating the Pneuma experience, Alabanza and Praise Flame, which has grown to become a household name in the gospel community.

She said, “Pneuma Worship Experience has grown from an idea into a beautiful worship community. Alabanza and Praise Flame are platforms that unite people in worship and have recorded significant impact. Serving as a judge on Spotlight gave me the chance to discover and mentor young Nigerian gospel talents, which is something I am passionate about.”

On how she began her career in music as well as the journey leading to the preparation ahead of her fourth album, she said, “My journey started from church and a love for music that grew into purpose. Over a decade later, I’ve released three albums, numerous singles, and I am working on my fourth album. The journey has taken me from local platforms to international stages and collaborations that continue to shape my sound and influence. It has been a mix of discipline, growth, and grace. It has also been very intentional. Highlights include singing on a stage anchored by Jackie Patillo, the Executive Director of the Dove Awards, and joining Michael W. Smith at Liberty University for the global Night of Worship. Every year has stretched me and expanded my reach. My fourth album will explore deeper themes and fresh expressions of worship and praise. The journey is still unfolding and I am excited for what is ahead.”
