Today, we give you a special iNTRO on a remarkable gospel artiste we've been relating with for the past weeks. We've keenly observed her and found out that her activities rotate between ministry and career. Her name is Theodora and she is quite a 'plus' for the gospel.
This impressively trained gospeller has climbed through the rungs of proffessional music making within and outside the shores of Nigeria. She has also gone on to become a 'relatively advantaged' gospel music minister.
Based in Ibadan, she traverses the west and beyond and gets on platforms that give a pulsating buzz to her ministry. Thedaora clearly understands what music should sound like and is one of the very few artistes that have good ears, hands and voice for music.
We want to get you a bit more familiar with her today and promise to premiere some of her impressive works right here on Gospel City Naija.
Theodora Ifedunke , simply called Dora by her family and friends, is a singer, songwriter, model, dancer and motivational speaker. When she was 8years old, she could always be seen around her home singing into a hairbrush and belting songs from Sound of Music, Grease and most Walt Disney animated classics of the time to the delight of all the kids in her neighbourhood.
“I remember thinking to myself – I want to sing exactly like Julie Andrews” she said “she was one of my first music influences”. Since then she has continued to grow from strength to strength. A very energetic and enterprising young lady she favours Gospel/Soul/R & B music genres but is a lover of all kind of music.
Theodora was very much involved in singing as well as dancing competitions/activities all through her high school and college years. She then set up her dance group (The King's Daughters), music group (TIEM) performing with the members all across major cities in Nigeria.
She has shared the stage with other notable artistes like Mike Aremu, Inifnty, Gbenga Adenuga, Modele, Rooftop MCs amongst others. She is currently working on her debut album – Stay with Me having just completed her program in Sound and Music Design at Limkokwing University of Creative Technology, Malaysia.
Her latest single is titled 'Ko si Isoro' and loosely translated in English means 'No more Troubles'. It is making a great buzz across the African continent, establishing Theodora as an artiste who is worth reckoning with.
Theodora often recites the quote “Music is the universal language of Mankind” and that is what I strive to achieve with my music, to make the average Jane or Joe feel much better after listening to any one of my songs, one note at a time".
Her songs will be premiered right here on Gospel City Naija and we urge you to anticipate the amazing sound of Theodora!
