THE “Black Star” city is about to get buzzing as Nigerian Afro-Gospel sensation Timi Phoenix officially has landed in Accra to mark the start of the highly anticipated Afro-Gospel Lit Rave High School Tour.
The tour is under the theme: Joy, Divine Identity, Energy, and “Godfidence.”
Arriving in the heart of March, Ghana’s Heritage and Independence Month—Timi Phoenix is bringing his “Godfidence” movement to the youth of Ghana, aligning his faith-based outreach with the national spirit of reflection and new beginnings.
A Sonic Shift: From Lagos to Accra
Timi Phoenix (Otegbayo Joseph Oluwatimileyin) is a leading voice in the Afro-Gospel movement, known for a high-octane sound that merges the infectious rhythms of Afrobeat with a deep, unwavering commitment to the Gospel.
With four albums and over 40 singles under his belt, Timi’s mission is simple: to make the message of faith as vibrant and accessible as the culture itself.
“The Afro-Gospel Lit Rave is more than a concert; it’s a takeoff into a new dimension of identity,” Timi Phoenix stated upon his arrival.
According to him, “Ghana has a rich spiritual heritage, and coming here during such a significant month allows us to connect with students through music that celebrates both their culture and their Creator.”
The Outreach: Afro-Gospel Lit Rave High School Tour
The tour is designed to be a “spiritual rave,” creating a high-energy environment where students can experience gospel music that resonates with their modern tastes.
The setlist features fan favorites like “Pray” and “Momoore,” alongside exclusive previews from his upcoming project, Godfidence of a Shepherd’s Son.
The outreach focuses on:
Igniting Eternal Hope, thus, using the “Lit Rave” platform to share a message of resilience.
Cultivating Spiritual Abundance by Encouraging students to find wealth in their purpose and faith.
Youth Engagement through provision of a positive, energetic alternative in the contemporary music scene.
The Man Behind the Movement
Beyond the stage, Timi Phoenix is a Quantity Surveyor (YABATECH) and the author of Tales Untold.
His life serves as a blueprint for the youth, proving that one can be professionally grounded and creatively explosive while maintaining spiritual integrity.
Organisers of Rhythms On Da Runway have announced November 28, 2026 as the date for the 16th edition of the event, to be held at the Palms Convention Centre.
This year’s edition, themed: ‘UNBOUND: Because You’ve Got Style’, is focused on breaking barriers in fashion and creating space for all.
According to the Chief Executive Officer of Nineteen57 Events, Shirley Emma Tibilla, affectionately called Cookie Tee, the focus of this edition is to give everyone an opportunity to express themselves without barriers.
She told The Spectator that as a leading fashion brand in the country and beyond, they want to open doors for people regardless of their colour, size and abilities among others.
Described by the BBC as “the biggest cultural exposé in Africa,” Rhythms On Da Runway returns this year as a celebration of fashion, music and individual expression without limits.
Organisers say for years fashion has been shaped by narrow ideas of who belongs on the runway, with certain body types, ages and abilities placed at the centre while many others are left out. UNBOUND seeks to open that picture.
This year’s runway will welcome people with different abilities, backgrounds, body types and personal stories. The theme will influence model casting, the collections, the stories told through the clothes and the way guests experience the event.
Beyond the runway, ‘Unbound’ will create room for young people to learn from established designers, gain practical experience and explore careers within fashion and the wider creative industry.
It will also open conversations around adaptive fashion, accessible event design, talent discovery, mentorship and employment.
The 2026 edition will bring together fashion designers and music stars from Ghana and across the African diaspora, with strong collections, live performances and an all-star cast of celebrity models.
The event will also feature the Black Star Awards, which will honour public figures shaping Africa’s future through leadership and contributions to the continent’s Orange Economy.
Organisers say the list of participating designers, performing artists, award recipients and other event details will be announced in the coming weeks.

Veteran Ghanaian gospel musician Bernice Offei has passed on Saturday August 12, 2026.
She was 63.
The news of her demise flashed through social media on Saturday, prompting an outpouring of grief from musicians, fans and members of the Christian community, who have since paid tribute to her distinguished career.
She gained strong reputation as a singer, songwriter and minister whose music transcended generations.
Some of her popular songs include ‘Kaa She Gbeyei,’ ‘It’s By Grace,’ ‘Nyame Kokroko’ and ‘N’adom Ara Kwa.’
Her contribution to the growth of gospel music in Ghana was recognised in 2009 when she won the Best Female Vocal Performance and Songwriter of the Year awards at the Ghana Music Awards, now known as the Telecel Ghana Music Awards.
Beyond music, Mrs Offei distinguished herself in academia and professional life. She attended Achimota School before earning an MPhil in Crop Science from the University of Ghana and a Master’s Degree in Information Technology from University College London in the United Kingdom.
Mrs Offei was married to Prof. Samuel Kwame Offei, a former Pro-Vice Chancellor of the University of Ghana, and the couple had two children.
Her death comes days after she was reported missing but was later found safe.
Mrs Offei leaves behind a rich music legacy that continues to inspire faith, hope and resilience among generations of listeners. -GNA
