Neon Adejo Yunisa, (born October 24) better known by the stage name Neon Adejo [1] is a Nigerian gospel singer, songwriter and worship leader well known for the hit song "Eze Ebube". [2] [3]
Neon Adejo is a Nigerian-born gospel artist, songwriter, worship leader, and entrepreneur whose music has become a beacon of hope for listeners across continents. As the founder and CEO of Kairos House Limited, he has not only carved a remarkable personal career but also built a platform that nurtures and amplifies other gospel voices, shaping the sound of African worship for a global audience.
Born and raised in Lagos, Nigeria, Neon’s journey into music was forged through an unshakable relationship with God and a life story marked by resilience. Once a devout Muslim, he experienced a radical transformation that led him to become a minister of the gospel, now carrying the message of the finished work of Christ to audiences around the world. Moments that could have silenced his voice instead became the very fuel for a testimony powerful enough to inspire millions. His songs, rooted in scripture, personal encounters, and a deep love for people, carry an authenticity so rare that it transcends language, culture, and borders.
His discography includes global gospel anthems such as “Eze Ebube”, whose raw worship energy has touched hearts around the world; “Grace Is Working”, a stirring declaration of God’s faithfulness; “Amen”, a bold proclamation of faith; and “Breathe Upon Me”, a vulnerable cry of intimacy with the Father. These and many more have amassed millions of streams, been sung in churches and concerts across Africa, Europe, and the Americas, and cemented Neon as one of the most influential gospel voices of his generation.
On stage, Neon is both commanding and humble, his performances often feeling less like concerts and more like sacred encounters. Whether in a packed arena or an intimate gathering, he creates moments where audiences feel seen, encouraged, and drawn closer to God. His voice, rich, textured, and deeply emotive, reflects not just musical talent, but the weight of lived testimony.
Beyond the spotlight, Neon Adejo is married to Dr Toluwalade Toyin-Kehinde, also known as Dr Lade Kehinde. He is a devoted husband, building his family and ministry with integrity and purpose. His marriage mirrors the values he upholds, faith, love, and service, infusing his art with sincerity and depth.
With a growing list of awards, international tours, and high-profile collaborations, Neon stands at the forefront of a new wave of African gospel that is unapologetically global. His mission is simple yet profound: to tell the story of God’s goodness until every heart has heard it. As he often says, “Every song I write is a testimony, it’s my way of giving the world a piece of the grace I’ve received.”
In an industry crowded with voices, Neon Adejo’s stands apart, not only for its sonic beauty, but for the life-changing message it carries. From Lagos to London, New York to Nairobi, he is more than an artist; he is a vessel of grace, a cultural bridge, and a force shaping the future of global worship music.
