The impact of “Way Maker” is unparalleled in modern African Christian music; it has been translated into over 50 languages and covered by numerous major international artists, including Michael W. Smith, Leeland, and Mandisa. This global spread led to its historic win of the GMA Dove Award for Song of the Year in 2020, making Sinach the first Nigerian to achieve this honor. The track’s simple yet profound message—declaring God as a miracle worker, promise keeper, and light in the darkness—transformed it from a Nigerian hit into a universal song of hope, sung in churches and even hospitals worldwide during times of crisis.
“Way Maker,” the defining anthem by Nigerian gospel powerhouse Sinach (Osinachi Kalu Okoro Egbu), was originally released as a single on December 30, 2015, and was the title track of her 2017 album, Waymaker – Live. The song’s genre is Contemporary Worship and Gospel, and it stands as a powerful solo track by Sinach, featuring no external artists, allowing her authoritative vocal delivery to lead. The song was released under her label, SLIC media (later partnered with Integrity Music), and its immense, organic popularity established her as the first African artist to top the Billboard Christian Songwriters chart in 2020.
