Muyiwa & Riversongz

Dynamic Singer/Songwriter, Muyiwa Olarewaju finds himself at another major milestone in 2008 with the exciting release of his third album “Declaring His Love” – a testimony to this Church singer’s faith. His effortless mix of Gospel music with influences as far as Rock, Pop, Nigerian rhythms, Soul and even Native American Indian beats have fed the enthusiasm to make him one of the UK’s most sought after music acts.
With the release of his latest project “Declaring His Love”, the lead single “Hey Ya” again marks a unique fusion of an American Indian Chant with Contemporary Gospel music. This opening track is one of Muyiwa’s favourites.
“It’s a fusion of the 1st Nation of America's Music (American Indian) with African beats and laced with the classic Muyiwa and Riversongz vocals,” says Muyiwa. An encounter in the US with the 1st Nation of America left him inspired by their history and strength as a people reminding him of his own African experience, singing with his people in his language and the familiar feeling of love and acceptance.
Teaming up with EMMA Award winning producer Eddie Martin (whose writing/production credits include Whitney Houston, Sarah Connor, Ne-Yo, Jennifer Lopez, Chris Brown and West Life), this winning combination was to be the result of two so-far-released hit albums selling in excess of 80,000 combined units to date.
The new 2008 live music release “Declaring His Love” sees them reunite which promises to raise the stakes musically and visually as an exclusive separate DVD will also be made available in support of extensive national/international touring.
A seasoned radio presenter, Muyiwa hosts the the flagship show "Gospel Tonight" and "Worship Tonight" on Premier Radio as well as presenting "Sounds Of Africa" on Lufthansa Airlines which carried 56 million passengers last year.
Since the release of his two albums “Restoration” and “Declaring His Power”, Muyiwa's voice in the Gospel world has become instantly recognisable and one that he hopes will unite people of all races, cultures and denominations.
