SAMMIE Okposo and some of his colleagues from Nigeria will be rocking United State of America with his ‘Praise Party Live’ concert this summer. The multiple award-winning Nigerian singer and Globacom Ambassador held a successful Lagos edition last Easter.

The concert, tagged Sammie Okposo Praise Party Live, is scheduled to hold in three US cities —- New York, Atlanta and Maryland. Nigerian singers already on the bill are Nikki Laoye, Bouqui, Tim Godfrey and Frand Edwards. Talks are however still on to feature gospel super stars, Micah Stampley and William Murphy.

According to Sammie, the reason we are taking the show to America, is that it’s becoming imperative to keep promoting the brand all over the world.

“Firstly, it’s all about reaching out and evangelizing the world via gospel music. Secondly, it’s about promoting my music beyond the shores of Africa to reach out to my already existing fans and make new ones thereby creating a platform where they will be treated to the best of Sammie Okposo and same for other Nigerian artistes on the bill.”

The trip, he added,  “is about creating an environment where Nigerian gospel artistes can interact and synergize with their counterparts from America with the possibilities of duets, publishing and marketing opportunities”.

The Wellu Wellu crooner also has lots of nominations up his sleeve at the moment with three nominations at Africa Gospel Music Awards, one nomination at Nigerian Entertainment Awards and four nominations at Crystal Awards, including a Special Recognition Award.
