ADEBANJO & DESIRE TO WORSHIP GOD
Sam Adebanjo is the principal of this Urban Gospel singing team Desire to Worship God and has a passion to see change in the music industry. “I have seen the negative effect of the message’s certain genre of music has had on many people I grew up with in South London Peckam/Brixton,” he says. This ultimately spurred a passion for "CHANGE" and the birth of Sam Adebanjo and DTWG.
Sam Adebanjo went from being a Muslim, homeless and trouble with the law, but he found God and made a 180-degree turn.
Sam Adebanjo and DTWG are becoming a household name in the UK Gospel Scene. It's not surprising with their rich harmonies, soulful arrangements and contagious melodies. Their songs are influenced by their experience of their daily walk with God.
