Providing a musical offering that embraces both world music and Gospel with remarkable results. Muyiwa is Britain's biggest gospel singer and songwriter, the one who more than any other is helping to popularise the form and bring it to a wider audience by mixing it up with elements of world music (from Africa, the Caribbean and Asia), soul, R&B and pop. In 2009 Muyiwa was the first international artist to appear on the American BET channel at the annual "Celebration of Gospel". A year later he was the first UK Gospel act to sell out the Indigo O2 London.

It is not just through singing, that Muyiwa's deep rich voice has reached millions in Europe, Africa and the USA, but also through his work as a broadcaster. He has a late-night show on London's Premier Christian Radio, (where he presents their flagship Gospel Tonight and Worship Tonight programmes), and has won numerous awards, including Best Presenter at the Oasis Awards (2006), Best Radio Show and Best Contribution to Gospel Music at the Gospel Music Awards (2009). - Studio:
