Singer Osinachi Okoro popularly known as Sinach is the cover star on Guardian life latest issue
On the inside, the gospel singer talks to the magazine about her career journey and how she’s grateful to her creator for using her as a vessel unto honor.
Sinach says she didn’t exactly plan when to go into music fully, she just always knew music was what she wanted to do with her life.
The publication wrote:
“A few weeks back, “Way Waker” topped the billboard USA for Christian songwriter for 7 weeks and now it’s 10 weeks
Then, on May 22, 2020, Forbes published an article, “Michael W. Smith’s ‘Waymaker’ Becomes The Go-To Comfort Song In A Global Pandemic” sparking comments from people around the globe on intellectual theft. Out of the backlash arose hashtags such as #ProudofSinach, and resulted to a correction “Michael W. Smith’s Cover Of ‘Waymaker’ Becomes The Go-To Comfort Song In A Global Pandemic”.

While responding to this, Sinach says
“It is encouraging to see how my songs have become impactful in the lives of many who listen to me. “Way Maker” was written when I was facing a challenge and it became a source of encouragement.
.
I am grateful to God that more people are listening to the songs. It means that the good news is being spread and that is the most important of all”.
On the redirection of the credit for her song “Way Maker”
“Take the glory? What do you mean by ‘take the glory?.’ “[laughs] Look, it is a privilege to know that your work is bigger than your name so I don’t care about who is getting recognized as long as God is being praised, he takes the glory. I also have a management that handles all of my music. So for anyone to record my song, they must have gotten permission from my team, you know what I mean?”
On her memorable moments
“In 2019, When I went to India, that’s Delhi in India [she is the first African gospel artiste to tour the nation], I was amazed at the thousands of people that were in attendance. Some came to me to say that my songs have inspired them. Even in Moscow, a lot of people reached out to say that they had changed because the songs had given them hope.”
