Nigeria\u2019s multi-award winning gospel musician Osinachi Joseph, popularly known as Sinach, will this weekend perform in the country.<\/p>\n
The Nigerian singer will perform at Civo Stadium in Lilongwe Saturday before winding up with a show at Blantyre Sports Club on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Her two performances come barely a week after another Nigerian gospel musician, Jimmy D Psalmist of the \u2018Mighty Man of War\u2019 fame, also performed in the country at Bingu International Convention Centre in Lilongwe.<\/p>\n
Jimmy D Psalmist has since collaborated with Wendy Harawa and Lulu in a song titled \u2018Chisomo\u2019.<\/p>\n
Sinach, however, will have more to show as she will perform in Lilongwe and Blantyre.<\/p>\n
She will be joined at the two shows by the country\u2019s musician Patience Namadingo.<\/p>\n
The gospel singer has since said she is prepared and excited to perform in the country for the first time.<\/p>\n
\u201cI assure Malawians to expect the best and I am prepared,\u201d Sinach said through social media.<\/p>\n
According to available information, the musician, in 2016, was the first recipient of the Lima Songwriter of the Decade Award, which recognised her outstanding and undeniable contribution to gospel music in the past decade, with her songs being sung in many countries.<\/p>\n
The same year, she also received the African Achievers\u2019 Award for Global Excellence, putting her in a prestigious list of Africans which include Arch Bishop Desmond Tutu and Joyce Banda among others.<\/p>\n
W h e n speaking on how she came by her stage name Sinach, she said:<\/p>\n
\u201cI chose that from my name Osinachi because it is easy to pronounce and catchy\u201d.<\/p>\n
As a songwriter, Sinach has written over 200 songs and won several other awards.<\/p>\n
Her song \u2018This Is Your Season\u2019 won the Song of the Year award in 2008.<\/p>\n
Many of her songs are sung by several churches and people all over the world and one of her most popular is \u2018I Know Who I Am\u2019.<\/p>\n
Her albums include Chapter One, I\u2019m Blessed, Shout it Loud, From Glory to Glory <\/em>and Sinach at Christmas.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Nigeria\u2019s multi-award winning gospel musician Osinachi Joseph, popularly known as Sinach, will this weekend perform in the country.
