The year 2021 is half way but that does not determine the package and plans some talented gospel singers have for the year, we would be listing out 5 Nigerian gospel artists to watch out for before the year 2021 runs out.

Though the start of the year 2021 was a bit difficult for gospel artists due to the outbreak of COVID-19 in the country the previous year, which caused some of the country’s top musicians to release fewer songs due to financial constraints and a lack of access to some resources required at the time.

The outbreak of the virus in 2020 compelled some well-known gospel singers to learn how to use digital media to enhance and expand their presence.

However, some of these top artists have wasted no time in releasing new sounds for their followers and fans to enjoy this year.

Because of the resources invested in the gospel music industry by some young gospel artists, Great Gospel Music has compiled a list of five top gospel artists to look out for before 2021 ends.

Here are our top five gospel artists to look out for in 2021.

1. Moses Bliss

Moses Bliss drove his way into the hearts of gospel music fans in 2020 when he released the songs ‘Too Faithful’ and ‘Bigger Everyday,’ which quickly became anthems among gospel music lovers and choirs.
