As a trained nurse, her brief was to care for people and nurture them to wholeness and sound health. Today, Rev. (Mrs) Gbemi Olaleye is reaching out to people and offering the soothing balm to humanity. Her tool, music.

Immensely talented, Sister Gbemi as she is fondly called has been offering hope and mobilizing humanity through her music since 1981, she has traveled the nooks and crannies of the country singing to Christian gatherings and conventions.

She literally sings out the passion of her heart, traversing the globe with the message of love and encouraging people to achieve their dreams by drawing on the superior power.

“I have a passion to see the world changed and music is the platform to push my message. It is a universal medium that everyone easily relates with”, she added. This conviction made her turn her back on nursing even after working so hard to qualify. Trained at the prestigious University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan, Nigeria. So compelling was her love for music that she joined Calvary Lord Singers and later the Lord’s Family Band.

Interestingly, her subsequent marriage to Bishop Abraham Olaleye, an evangelist would open a new chapter in her musical career. By 1989, she could no longer hold back. She founded Anointed Rhema Voices, a band she’s still leading.

Leta Ayo, (Letter of Joy), Olorun Ife (The Lovely God), Asiko Mi (My Time) Gba Gbogbo Ogo (Take all the Glory) are some of the titles she has produced. Over the years, her songs have enjoyed wide acceptance among Nigerians. Notably all her songs are original and self-written.

With the band, Gbemi has been globetrotting, bringing the message of peace and love to her listeners. This international exposure is certainly aided by her husband’s evangelistic crusades all over the world. So while her husband preaches, she sings.

She has exhibited her musical talent in Ghana, Togo, Congo Democratic, Peoples Republic of Congo, Gabon, India, Canada, America and Britain with wide acclaim. Not a few have been attracted to the meetings through her inspiring songs. Her uniqueness comes through in powerful lyrics delivered with danceable tunes.

The mother of five is unrelenting. She believes millions should still hear her song of hope and comfort.
