Having found herself in active music ministry at such an early age, her growing years saw her staying true her calling in music and being part of other bigger platforms where she served in ministry while improving her musical gifts.

With this in view, she joined Evang.Banji Fadehan's musical group as the only female member when the group started out .She later joined Trinity World Evangelical Ministry led by sister Toun Soetan where she featured in many concerts organised by that ministry.    

Presently, Damola is a member of Kingdom Voices, the choir arm of Kingdom Life Global Christain Ministry based in Ibadan.  

She started out doing music professionally and had her first album released in 2012. The album release led to her organizing her very first major concert tagged "SHOUT OF JOY" which clearly ushered her into a robust live music ministry.She has also gone on to share divine moments on stage with the likes of Yetunde Are, Monique,Babatunmise.etc.

 Damola is a graduate of Guardian and Counseling from the University of Ado-Ekiti. Music is more of a calling for her and a gift she uses to share and spread the gospel of Christ, our Greatest Guardian and Counselor

MUSIC: AWESOME GOD BY MODUPE AWEDA | DOWNLOAD

Modupe aweda Born and raised in Christian home in Osu, Osun State, Modupe grew up singing in the church. After graduating from secondary school, she studied Performing Art at University of Ilorin, where she graduated with a Bachelor of Art (BA) in Performing Art with a concentration in music – vocal performance.

She did session work as a backup singer for a wide variety of artists, served as choir coordinator for 3 consecutive session in Methodist Campus Fellowship (MCF), awarded with best female artist in 2000/01 in the department of Performing Arts. Music to her is more than passion, it’s a calling as well.

This young lady (Modupe Aweda) is blessed with the potential for singing. Modupe is generally associated with youth and they say wisdom comes with age, but rarely does one person simultaneously possess both in abundance.  I truly believe that she is doing what she was made to do.
