Adwoa Gyebi to release ‘Your Name’ album in Washington Sept.15
Adwoa Gyebi
Adwoa Gyebi has been known as one of the finest songwriters on the gospel music scene. Very few are aware of her talent and dexterity behind the microphone to sing.
Those unaware of her aptitude and flair in singing may perhaps, have to rush to grab front row seats on Sunday, September 15 when she launches her maiden album titled ‘Your Name’ at the Agape Life Ministries in Washington DC at 6pm prompt.
The album features 10 heartfelt melodies that resonate with biblical truth, inviting listeners into a deeper relationship with Christ, offering songs that are deep on personal and impactful relationships with Jesus.
This album is also designed to help believers declare the name of Jesus with boldness and joy.
Doubling as an entrepreneur and community leader in the Washington DC Metropolitan Area, with over a decade of experience crafting spiritually enriching music, Adwoa has long been a cherished figure in her local community.
‘Your Name,’ emerges as a powerful testament to the life-changing impact of Jesus Christ.
With a decade of songwriting experience rooted in intimate worship and biblical inspiration, Adwoa presents the album with a clear purpose: to remind believers of the immense power that lies in the name of Jesus and to encourage trust in God’s boundless love.
“Your Name is more than just an album; it’s a tool for spiritual growth and evangelism,” she told The Spectator in an interview.
Her passion about spreading the message of Christ shines through every track, urging Christians and every lover of gospel music to celebrate Jesus’ name and trust in His power to make the impossible possible.
She serves as the First Lady of Crossover Christian Church, a role she has embraced alongside her husband, Rev. Ababio Gyebi, for over 20 years.
Their ministry has been a beacon of faith and leadership, touching countless lives.
Additional to her pastoral duties, Adwoa is an influential coach for the Hollingsworth BOSS Leadership Programme (BOSS), which empowers young individuals to know Christ and develop a deep trust in God.
For years, Adwoa has reserved her musical talent for her church, family, and close friends, but she now feels a divine calling to reach a broader audience.
Drawing inspiration from meditating on the Word of God and biblical poetry, her music embodies a profound desire to proclaim the name of Jesus Christ.
She said every song on the album presents the audience an opportunity to join in their own intimate dialogue with the Almighty, believing in the transformative power of God’s Word and seeks to share this message with the world through songwriting.
