He was named at birth as Joseph Omo Ebhodaghe but now he is popularly known as Joe Praize. He is an award-winning Nigerian Gospel artiste who’s song ‘Mighty God’ generated a lot of admiration and adoration in Nigeria and in Africa as a whole especially because of his collaboration with the South African Grammy Award Winning Soweto Gospel choir. The slim and tall ‘praisegenerator’ also won the ‘Best rock’ award at the 2014 Crystal Gospel awards in Nigeria.
He believes leading praise and worship is one of the biggest opportunities he has received from God and opined that it’s a blessing to be in a position where God can trust you to lead his people in songs of praise and worship that have also earned him the name Joe Praize.
Joe Praize is a member of Christ Embassy church in Lagos-Nigeria and realised his maiden studio recording album in 2009 on Loveworld records.
He presently has three albums to his credit. In an interview with Worshipper on A1 Radio from his base in Lagos-Nigeria, the sensational gospel minister said while thinking of a brand name that can fly so easily as a musician, God intervened in a vision and instructed him to add praise to Joe.
Some of his works include “My Praise” which has gone around the world blessing believers. Joe has ministered in several countries including South Africa (Johannesburg, Cape Town, Pretoria, and KZN), Canada, United Kingdom, United States, Nigeria, Ghana and others. He has also won several awards to the glory of his Master and Saviour Jesus Christ.
