Artist Overview
COZA City Music is the world-class music ministry of the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA), headquartered in Abuja, Nigeria. Known for its exceptional musical technicality, high production standards, and deep spiritual intensity, the group has become a standard-bearer for contemporary church music in Africa. The ministry operates under the vision of Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo, emphasizing that “ministry precedes music” and maintaining a rigorous culture of prayer and excellence that has influenced worship teams globally.
The group’s sound is a sophisticated blend of contemporary worship, Afro-gospel, and high-energy praise. They are often noted for their ability to seamlessly transition from intricate choral harmonies to spontaneous, atmospheric worship sessions. While COZA has birthed several musical entities over the years—most notably the award-winning group The Gratitude—COZA City Music functions as the primary worship expression of the church, featuring a rotating collective of highly skilled vocalists and musicians such as Douye Ajeh, Daniel Frank, Esther Oji, and Jamaata Isaiah.
In 2026, COZA City Music has continued to dominate the digital gospel space with a series of live recordings from their flagship events. They began the year with a series of electrifying ministrations during the 12 Days of Glory (12DG) 2026 conference and a massive outdoor worship experience titled “The Atmosphere” held at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium to mark the church’s 27th anniversary in February. Their 2025/2026 releases, including the This Is Zion Live Praise Medley and the anthem “Do Me Well,” have become staples in congregations across Nigeria, further solidifying their reputation as a powerhouse of modern gospel music.
