UK-based gospel highlife musician, Ayoola Ogundare, popularly known as LaSaN, has called on emerging gospel highlife artists to prioritize originality and embrace technology as vital tools for a successful music career.
LaSaN, who started his music journey in Western Nigeria, emphasized the importance of seeking divine inspiration and maintaining a strong spiritual connection for guidance in their musical journey.
“Originality is key in carving out your identity as an artist,” LaSaN advised. “And with the power of digital tools and platforms today, young musicians have more opportunities than ever to reach the world with their sound—if they remain authentic and spiritually grounded.”
Known for his uplifting compositions blending English and Yoruba lyrics, LaSaN’s unique style has earned him a distinct place in gospel music. His signature call-and-response chant—”E gbohun soke o…” with the audience responding “E se Baba” (Lift up your voices… Thank you, Father)—has become a hallmark of his performances.
LaSaN began his career with the release of a six-track debut album titled The 2 Beggars, and went on to release Sun Kere, Praise Unlimited, and Break Thru. His notable singles include Jah Jehovah Uploaded, Mo ti l’Olugbala (I’ve Got a Saviour), You Do Well, Old School Grooves, I Believe, and High Praise Special.
Driven by a mission to spread the gospel through music, LaSaN continues to inspire audiences globally through his electrifying live performances and spiritually charged lyrics.

With a career marked by consistency, originality, and spiritual depth, LaSaN remains an enduring voice in gospel highlife music, committed to lifting souls and spreading hope through his art.
