The upcoming event at Gospel Powerhouse International promises to be a spiritually enriching experience. Attendees can expect an uplifting atmosphere filled with worship, praise, and the powerful message that Benjamin Dube is known for.
Known for his powerful voice and uplifting lyrics, Dube has been a prominent figure in the gospel music scene since the early 1980s, when he first rose to fame.
His career has been marked by a series of successful albums that have achieved both gold and platinum status, solidifying his place as one of the leading gospel artists in the country.
Dube’s journey into music is deeply rooted in his family’s religious background. Born into a devout family, he began singing gospel music at the tender age of seven.
By twelve, he was performing alongside his older siblings as part of the Dube Family singers, a group that garnered attention for their harmonious vocals and heartfelt performances.
However, the family’s trajectory took a tragic turn in 1976 when their father was brutally murdered.
In the wake of this tragedy, the Dube family turned to music as a means of healing, sharing their story through song and inspiring others with their resilience.
