US-based Artist, Ochuko releases a song of thanksgiving titled, “Hosannah”, produced by RotimiKeys.
A Contemporary Song of Praise and Thanksgiving to God, “Hosannah” is a high tempo-groovy praise jam bound to get you on your feet in high praise from the first kick.
Speaking about the song, Ochuko shares: “Hosannah is all about giving praise to God for being perfect in all his ways, even when things don’t go the way we want them to. The song was birthed from a song our parents sang when we were kids which I’m sure you know – “Hosannah, Hosannah, Hosannah, Hosannah in the highest, Lord we lift up your name, With our hearts full of praise, Be exalted Oh Lord our God, Hosannah in the highest”
Ochuko is widely renowned for his enthralling vocals and top-notch stage performance during his stint as a Project Fame finalist and Lead Worshipper at House On the Rock Church Lagos. He returns with the high-energy visuals for “Hosannah”, which was shot and directed by Rumiblaq.
Ochuko’s love for music started at the tender age of 9yrs old which launched him early into the world of music. He nurtured his R&B passion while at Babcock University where he got a degree in Business Administration.
During his undergraduate years at B.U, he joined – JOOWE (which represents the first letter of the group members' names – Junior-Ochuko-Obi-Wole-Ese), an Acapella group of 5 young men comprising two of his brothers and two close friends. The group performed at all major campus events and won an award for the best new group on campus.
The college experience only helped fuel Ochuko’s desire to pursue music professionally. Undeterred by the split up of JOOWE, he formed a duo called 2Ignite. In 2007, 2Ignite released 3 singles. He took a break from music and focused on his banking career. Upon graduation from college and armed with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Business Administration, Ochuko decided to get a “real” job to finance his music dream.
A uniquely gifted vocalist and performer, his passion for music were fuelled once again through his role as one of the lead Psalmists at House on the Rock Church, Lagos which guided him in embracing his calling more gracefully with mentorship and advice from various gospel artists such as Eric Arubayi, Sammie Okposo, Onos Ariyo and a host of other amazing ministers.
In July 2010, he made the difficult decision to quit his day job and seized an opportunity to participate in Project Fame West Africa; a music talent reality TV show broadcast in Ghana, Nigeria, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. This was his first big break as Ochuko emerged as one of the top 6 out of tens of thousands of people that auditioned for the show all over West Africa.
During the Project Fame show, he wowed audiences with his sultry voice and professional performance, while building a loyal following.
The Project Fame platform projected him to the limelight and marked the evolution of Ochuko – not just as a singer, and songwriter but also as a voice set to take Gospel music to new heights.
