Nigerian gospel singer Enkay Ogboruche describes herself as a vibrant, hardworking, and culturally grounded artist with a deep love for God, excellence, and people. In a recent interview with The Nation, she shared insights into her career, collaborations, and her vision for gospel music.

“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,” Ogboruche said.

Her collaborations with both local and international gospel acts have been pivotal to her growth. Working with American Grammy winner Kierra Sheard pushed her to elevate her standards, while partnerships with Pastor Nathaniel Bassey, Caton Jones, Evelyn Wanjiru, and MOG, among others, allowed her to merge diverse sounds and expand her reach.

Ogboruche highlighted some of her proudest achievements, including creating the Pneuma Worship Experience, Alabanza, and Praise Flame, platforms that have become widely recognized in Nigeria’s gospel community. “Pneuma Worship Experience has grown from an idea into a beautiful worship community. Alabanza and Praise Flame 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,” she added.

Reflecting on her musical journey, Ogboruche explained how her career evolved from church beginnings to international recognition. “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.”

She highlighted some key milestones, including performing on a stage anchored by Jackie Patillo, 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,” she said.
