Meet Joey

Holla!!
Henceforth, I'll like to use Friday posts to celebrate people.... Let's tag it 'Meet Fridays'...*giggles* And today, make some noise..... as I introduce a great friend and co-minstrel..... JOEY!!

Idikwu Joseph Ikande popularly known as Joey, a songwriter and composer is a Nigerian based gospel artist that is eclectic in his approach to music and a lover of all genres. He is more of an R and B singer, though his flair for soft rock still stands out as his first single released “Standing Ovation” attests to this. He is Igede by Tribe from Benue State, born into a family of seven (7), the second (2nd) of five (5) siblings. Joey is a Nurse by profession and a music lover by birth, “mmmm, how cool”.... And I can't forget to add that he's a JOSSITE!! Yeah 

His musical background dates back to his early childhood and has ever since grown with him till date. His experience with music gets better as the years roll by as he has always been an active singer in different choirs at different capacities and also backed up for some big time Gospel Music Heroes, Lionel Peterson, Chris Delvan, Panam Percy Paul, Solomon Lange, Freke Umoh and a host of others.
He recently dropped his debut single of all times titled “Standing Ovation” that is more alternate rock inclined. The inspiration for this song he says was borne out of a grateful heart that is perplexed by God’s show of love, left with no certain expression to display and so, helplessly stands in ovation.

 He is currently working on other singles due to hit your frequencies soon and urges everyone to keep their fingers crossed in anticipation as we also expect an album this year.

Joey is quite poetic in his song writing skills, which reflects in nearly all his songs as he defines music as a fine mix of words with melodious sound. He lays claims to his inspiration, rich source of creativity, diversity and uniqueness of his music to the likes of Deitrick Haddon, Fred Hammond, Jeremy Camp, Donnie McClurkin, Marvin Sapp, Casting Crowns, Smokie Norful, Hillsong that constitutes a large space of his playlist that he listens to.

His words to you, keep focus, let God be true and all men liars.
