In a world searching for authentic hope, the voice of a new gospel artist can be a beacon. Today, we’re thrilled to introduce you to Michael Kodua, a promising artist whose music is born from a place of deep personal faith and a desire to see others drawn into the presence of God. As he drops his powerful new single, “You Saved Me,” we sat down with him to explore the journey, the inspiration, and the ministry behind the music.
A Home Filled with Song: Solid Foundations
Michael’s story begins in the heart of a Christian home.
“I was born into a Christian home, and my mum was part of the choir; she was a very good alto singer,” he shares.
It was in this environment, surrounded by the sounds of worship, that a seed was planted.
This foundational experience laid the groundwork for a calling that would fully blossom in the years to come.
Rather than modeling his sound after a single artist, he describes a process of gathering inspiration from many sources to create something uniquely his own.
The core objective of his music is unwavering: he aims for listeners to feel the tangible presence of God, creating a sonic experience that draws them into a closer relationship with the divine.
“You Saved Me”: A Personal Anthem of Salvation
The centerpiece of this new chapter is his upcoming single, “You Saved Me.” The song is a raw and honest reflection on his early life, where facing various challenges led him to a pivotal realization about the essential role of Jesus Christ. The track serves as a testimony, born from gratitude for the journey thus far and faith for the path ahead.
He hopes the song's core message resonates clearly with listeners: that true salvation and soul-deep satisfaction are found in Christ alone. The creation of "You Saved Me" began with a compelling melody, which then naturally evolved into a vessel for his personal experiences as a Christian.
The recording process was so moving that it moved him to tears—a memorable moment that underscores the song's profound personal significance.
The Bigger Picture: A Forthcoming EP of Gratitude
“You Saved Me” is just the first look into a larger body of work—an upcoming EP. The project is woven together by a theme of gratitude and acknowledgment.
“The story or idea behind this project is to acknowledge God for His mercies in my life and to appreciate how far He has brought me, as well as where He is taking me.”
Interestingly, Michael describes the creative process as a smooth and blessed one.
“Personally, I didn’t face any challenges while creating this project; it was smooth sailing, which is the rewarding part of it.”
For him, the ease of creation is itself a testament to God's favor on the work.

Ministry Through Melody: The Heart Behind the Music
For Michael, music is ministry. His songwriting is a direct outpouring of his walk with God, inspired by how God builds up believers to endure and triumph. He feels called to express this through melodies that reflect divine greatness and personal testimony.
His ultimate prayer is that his music becomes a source of healing and salvation, positively impacting lives and families by drawing people closer to God. For anyone currently navigating a difficult season, he offers a powerful word of encouragement: these trials are momentary and purposed not for destruction, but for refinement. He believes that challenges are meant to strengthen believers and draw them closer to God, much like gold is refined by fire.
The Future: Preparing For Global Impact
Looking ahead, Michael is filled with excitement about the potential for his music to bless lives across the globe. His vision extends beyond this release, with plans for future projects and traveling to minister, using his music as a tool to win souls for Christ.
