Gospel music minister and worship leader, Josh O’maiye has released his much anticipated single “Being Good”.
“Being Good” was written off the back of quite a difficult few months. I lost my mum in very sudden circumstances in December 2023, and we immediately had to prepare to lay her to rest. There were no saved funds for this purpose, and in terms of preparation for that sort of thing, there was very little. But soon things started to fall in place and my siblings and I pulled through remarkably. Basically, there was supply.
Soon I began to reflect on how things had turned out. I was clearly not excited about losing my mum, but soon my reflections began to pull the darkness away from my mind, and I began to count one, two, three things that God had done for me over the previous year. I started a new job, I started a very beneficial relationship that is leading to marriage, and financially, things got better. It became my conclusion that despite my loss, there were other things that had worked out for me, and that God was still in the room, doing good, taking care of me, and helping me.
In the end, “Being Good” is a song that recognises that it’s been God all through. We do not always look like what we have been through, and that’s because God is still in the room, “Being Good” to us. This song is for everyone who has a testimony. It’s for everyone who looks back and sees God in the room. Through the storm, complexities and uncertainties of life. He’s been good to you. Hasn’t he?”, – Josh said.
Josh O’maiye has been living the gospel music life since birth. Born to parents who were church ministers, he spent his free time during childhood listening to top legends such as Donnie McClurkin, Hezekiah Walker, and, John P.Kee. Finding the stage by age 7, Josh excelled as a performer and began to develop his craft as a gospel rock singer and a spirit-filled worship leader. In the University, he was a member of the Nigerian Fellowship of Evangelical Students where he served as Music Director for over 2 years. Despite not entirely focusing his attention on music, Josh has maintained his commitment to God by churning out inspiring releases from time to time, including his most recent single “Goshen“ which featured Philipage and was released in 2023.
Josh currently serves as a member of the choir at The Elevation Church, Maryland and is currently working on his debut album “The Good Album”, slated to be released later this year.
