- Maryland-Based Nigerian Artist and Philanthropist, Changing Lives Through Music and Charity
In the last decade, Nigerian gospel music has taken the world by storm, blending vibrant rhythms with deep biblical lyrics in native languages such as Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, and Pidgin. This global rise has seen new faces emerge, each bringing a unique style to the genre. Among them is Maryland-based artist Mayowa Adenrele, widely known as Mayowa Kings, who is using her music and charitable efforts to make a lasting difference in the lives of people across America and beyond.
A respected figure in gospel music, Mayowa Kings has touched millions with soul-stirring songs like “Worthy,” which has become a worship staple far beyond the borders of Africa. Known for her deep praise and worship style, her music carries messages of hope and faith, resonating with listeners from all walks of life. Yet, it is her charitable work that truly sets her apart.
Through her charity organization, Family Rescue Mission, Mayowa Kings has been dedicated to alleviating the suffering of the poor and distressed in her local Maryland community, America. The mission of Family Rescue is simple yet impactful: providing free meals, counseling services, and creating a sense of dignity and hope for those in need. Her focus extends to empowering youth, offering training programs, mentorship, and networking events aimed at breaking the cycles of abuse and addiction that plague vulnerable communities.
“Family Rescue Mission was born out of a desire to create something meaningful,” says Mayowa. “I wanted a space where people could not only eat and be inspired by music but also experience a positive, lasting change in their lives, helping them find strength and spiritual fulfillment.”
Her passion for music and charity continues to drive her efforts to uplift those around her. Mayowa’s music, with its heartfelt lyrics and soulful delivery, reflects the everyday struggles of youth, offering hope and guidance for those who feel lost. She believes in the power of community and the ripple effect of kindness.
“Music is a powerful force that brings hope to the helpless and comfort to those in distress, mending hearts and lifting spirits in their darkest times. Helping one person can lead to them helping others, creating a ripple of positive change. This is what motives me-each effort, no matter how small, has the potential to make a lasting impact.”
Mayowa Kings is not just a musical icon; she is a force for good, proving that purpose-driven work, whether through charity or artistry, can change the world. Her journey is an inspiring example of how creativity and determination can transform lives, leaving an indelible mark on the world.
