One common denominator in the Christendom is people of power and grace enlisting in this end time infantry, and one of the known talents is Gabriel Imeh Amos, commonly known as Gabriel Amos– a gospel singer and producer.
Gabriel Amos has been separated by God as a vessel unto honour from childhood, since when he has also consciously started to nurture the gift of singing in church. Born on 27th June, 1988, the multi-dimensional and generational talent hails from Nsit Ubium Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State, South-west Nigeria.
Gabriel Amos immersed himself into music from his teenage years, so much so that he became a choir member at Omega Fire Ministry, where his gift easily picked him out. The song minister spent his early years in Lagos before moving to the United Kingdom where he currently resides.
He attended the University of Lagos (UNILAG), where he bagged his first degree in philosophy, and officially started his ‘ministry’. Gabriel Amos understood that he was chosen as an instrument owned by God. In 2010, he formed a music group of two known as Tufellaz. Adopting the stage name, ‘Sikedi’, he recorded his first gospel song, “Just Dance”, produced by Samklef, one of Nigeria’s best in the entertainment industry.
‘Sikedi’ gave Gabriel Amos the best possible way to express himself that he is a man on a mission for God. Later, he had a collaboration with Peter (Rude Boy)’s signed artist, Muno, produced by Menthor. The song recorded immense traction on campus and it eventually became his stage name. Love for God and understanding what he wants him to do remain the cardinal drivers for Gabriel Amos, known as ‘Sikedi’.
In 2020, he relocated to the UK to pursue a masters degree in Data Science at Northumbria University. Nevertheless, he continues to find the right balance between his firm devotion to Christ and his academic pursuit. Inspired by his love for beat and the desire to bring life and melody to songs, Gabriel Amos delved into music production and bagged the acclamation, ‘Sikedi Beatz’. His versatility as a producer shone through working with various artistes and even produced an unreleased track for Nigerian rapper, Vector Tha Viper, titled “Show Me How to Dance.”
In 2018, Sikedi Beatz signed with Lyon Gang Records, collaborating on hit tracks like “Casanova” and “Ogogoro” with artist Ceezay. Gabriel Amos remains actively engaged in gospel music, collaborating with top producers like SMJ, to create an amazing sound titled “Surrender”. From the background and also behind the microphone, he is making significant strides in the global gospel music industry.
