Are You Aspiring and Talented Gospel Singer? Can One Million Naira Change Your Music Career? Register for Voice Out Gospel Music Contest

Are you a talented Gospel singer?

Are you looking for a Godly yet professional platform to showcase your craft to the world?

Search no more; Voice Out is here for you.

In recent times, research has shown that Gospel music in Nigeria has declined tremendously and it is gradually fading off the airwaves due to the neglect of the gospel community at large.

Reports have shown that several secular musicians started from the church but left the church in search for fame and money…. Greener pastures like they say.

Further research has discovered that many Gospel musicians, who are equally competent as their secular musicians end up doing what they are not called to do as a minister due to financial constraints, which plays a very major role in their artistry.

Voice Out is here to create the supports, enabling atmosphere, platform and mentorship opportunity needed to take you to the next level of your music endeavors.
