Nigerian-born Gospel singer Dr Yohan, also known as Yohanna Bako, has released his long-awaited debut album titled “Premium Praise Live” which is available now to stream on all major digital platforms worldwide. The album has got lots of fans talking, most describing the album as a timeless masterpiece that’s filled with anointed songs.
When asked what inspired the album title, Dr. Yohan references Psalms 150:6 saying if everything that has breathe must praise the Lord, then we must do it Premium. This further explains the excellence that was put into creating the sounds for the 11-track album, evident in the meticulously crafted soundscapes that showcase exceptional musicality and creativity.
Recorded before a live audience in Abuja, Nigeria, “Premium Praise Live” features collaborations with renowned worship leaders such as Tee Worship, Roland Ricketts, Israel Funsho, Ellacentric, and voices from the talented team of The Anointed Praise, a team founded by Dr. Yohan in 2006.
Music has always been an integral part of Dr. Yohan’s life. He began singing in his local church at a young age, later launching an annual concert that became a household name in Kogi State after a decade of consistency. Although his career initially took him down the academic path as a university lecturer, and later as a digital Strategist with a few tech startups after resigning from the academia in 2018, Dr. Yohan has simultaneously combined his passion for music with his secular profession.
“Premium Praise Live” comes after the release of two EPs, “Sunday Behaviour” released in 2020, and “YO! & Behold” in 2023. Preceding the Premium Praise Live project is the trending single “Balogun”. The song is the theme for the trending #BalogunChallenge on TikTok inviting folks to share their personal stories of divine intervention and triumphs.
Dr Yohan’s debut album is a life-transforming collection of praise and worship songs that invites listeners on a journey of reflecting on the goodness of God in their lives and building intimacy with the Holy Spirit.
