The top prize in reality singing show Hymnodia has been awarded to Kenneth Ekhuemelo, who beat 13 other participants.
Kenneth took home the specially designed top award, known as the prize of the Asaph.
The grand finale took place at the MUSON Centre in Lagos last week, when the ‘hymntestants’ displayed their talents in various hymn and worship renditions.
Kenneth said: “Firstly, l am grateful to God and have to really thank Him for this opportunity to showcase and enhance my talent. I commend Hymnodia for this great opportunity. I am also grateful to my family and those that appreciate me.”
Music director and judge Sunday Olawuwo told him: “l must confess, you added fuel to the stage that has already been set on fire.”
In addition to the Asaph award, Kenneth also received a cash reward of N5m, a new car and an award for Best in Arrangements.
