Gospel music minister and songwriter, Bose Adekunle, popularly known as Canada-based Bose Adekunle, is being celebrated today as she marks another year of life, faith, music and impactful ministry.
Born in Iwo, Osun State, into a Christian family, Adekunle is the daughter of the late Pastor Jacob Adeleke Salako, former Assistant General Evangelist of Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) Worldwide, and L/E Rhoda Ade Salako.
Her musical journey began at a tender age, with songs inspired by the Holy Spirit. Despite pursuing an academic qualification in Microbiology, she eventually embraced her divine calling, dedicating her musical gifts to worship, praise and the propagation of the gospel.
Over the years, she has built an inspiring musical catalogue, beginning with _His Mercy_ in 2006, followed by _Omnipotent Reigneth_ (2008), _Mobebe_ (2010), _Aso Ogo Mi_ (2013), _Dominion_ (2018), _Yotura_ (2020), _Monposi_ (2022), and her latest album, _Free Indeed_ (2026).
One of her widely recognised songs, _“Baba Jeki Ogo Mi Soro,”_ has become a powerful declaration of faith, encouraging believers to trust God for the manifestation of His glory in their lives.
Her latest album, _Free Indeed_, draws inspiration from John 8:36: _“If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.”_
Through the album, Adekunle calls on believers to boldly celebrate their victory in Christ, proclaiming freedom from sin, fear, sickness, poverty, hardship and every form of spiritual bondage.
Her ministry has also taken her to significant Christian gatherings, including the centenary celebrations of The Apostolic Church Nigeria, where her performance attracted attention. Through digital platforms and live ministrations, she continues to expand her reach and inspire audiences with music rooted in faith and spiritual conviction.
Beyond music, Adekunle is married to Elder Sunday Adekunle, and their union is blessed with children. She also plays a mentoring role in the lives of younger believers and aspiring gospel ministers, nurturing what she describes as her spiritual children.
As she celebrates her birthday, tributes continue to recognise her consistency, humility and dedication to using music as an instrument of spiritual encouragement and transformation.
Her journey reflects a conviction that gospel music goes beyond entertainment; it is a ministry capable of touching hearts, restoring hope and drawing people closer to God.
