Isaac Akuchie is no doubt one of gospel music's most exciting personalities. A performer and songwriter of great talent, Stace depth finds strength in the "highs and lows" of his upwards of two decades personal relationship with lesus Christ. Apart from the many churches where his dexterity as a worship leader of note had found expression, his remarkable impact in the crossroads ministries- a Christian radio magazine programme of the late 80s-alongside his other selves namely: Segun Oshinaga now a notable preacher and victor Oladokun of the " Turning Point" fame and of course his role as the Chief Host and facilitator of the first and only edition of the very successful Christian Music Awards (CMA) held at Lagos Sheraton Hotel, in 1993 with the Late Kim Lawani, the Divine call of this multi- lingual! singer was at different times proclaimed and highlighted by some great Men of God even at first encounter. To the Late Rev. (Dr.) Samuel Odunaike - First G.O. of the foursquare Gospel Church - it manifested in form of a "Star" he said to have noticed on the head of Isaac while ministering as a guest artiste during one of the early editions of the then popular Psalmson Tricathbn music project of the late 80s. To Archbishop Duncan Williams- a renowned Ghanaian preacher a "call" was sensed. While to the very distinguished Bishop (Dr) David Oyedepo "...this is not just let us sing! This is an endowment, a gifting ..... a kingdom star about to show forth...And you will go places...), Even Bishop Mike Okonkwo in1996 once encountered Isaac onl, {awdays to his kingdom fife Music Festival rushed back to his church and sent his musical director after him to be featured in the kingdom Music Festival for that year Many things distinguish Isaac from any other singer. Apart from the incredibly sobering effect of his lyrics, there is always this indescribable "presence" particularly in his live appearances. An expatriate Director of one of the foreign Cultural centres in Nigeria who was once infected with the Isaac bug quickly invited the artiste to his office with a promise to arrange international concerts for him if only he coul expunge the religious fervor of his lyries to which Isaac promptly turned down and thanking him continued "...you probably wouldn't have heard me sing ATALL if 'mnotmeant to be areligious singer. With Isaac Akuchie, you might not only be encountering a songwriter with a touch of gold, a precious pearl in the hands of the very God Almighty from this part of the universe, a performer with a stunning appeal who will not only delight you, enchant you, but who will ultimately DISTURB you.
