Artist Overview

Elijah Daniel (popularly known as Elijah Daniel Omo Majemu) is a dynamic Nigerian gospel music minister, songwriter, and high-praise leader celebrated for his infectious energy and distinctive dancing style. Born and raised in Lagos, he hails from Ado-Odo Ota in Ogun State. His journey into music was significantly influenced by his mother, a chorister at The Gospel Faith Mission International (GOFAMINT), and he began leading worship in church at the early age of seven. Despite an initial ambition to become a banker, he eventually embraced a full-time calling in gospel music.

He is widely recognized for his high-energy “Afro-Highlife” and “Yoruba High Praise” medleys, which have made him a staple at major Christian gatherings across Nigeria. He is the visionary and convener of “Worship Encounter,” a powerful annual worship program that started in 2015 and has grown into a massive spiritual experience featuring prominent gospel icons like Tope Alabi and Mike Abdul. His ability to blend traditional Yoruba praise with contemporary instrumentation has earned him the title of the “Energetic Praise Master,” frequently performing at top platforms such as COZA and The Experience.

In 2026, Elijah Daniel remains one of the most booked and active gospel ministers in Nigeria. He started the year with a major ministration at COZA’s 12 Days of Glory 2026 and has continued his popular “Six Hours with God” monthly worship sessions, which draw thousands of digital viewers. His 2026 projects continue to emphasize his signature “Omo Majemu” (Child of the Covenant) brand, focusing on delivering spirited praise that bridges generational gaps. Through his consistent live recordings and high-octane stage presence, he continues to be a leading figure in the evolution of indigenous Nigerian gospel praise.
