He is arguably the most flourishing gospel export emerging out of Africa in recent years.

He has managed to globalize his music empire with teams all over, especially in Canada, Europe, USA, and Africa. Innovation is not for the faint of heart, nor for those who lack the capacity.

For Sonnie Badu, it is an honor and privilege to stand and lead God’s children in the art of spiritual intimacy.
His ministry houses the presence of God and where God’s heart is; His hand will be. This is the grace has made way for him to lead worship for Bishop T. D. Jakes, Bishop Tudor Bismark , Pastor Matthew Ashimilowo, Pastor E. A. Adeboye, Archbishop Duncan Williams, Pastor Kingsley Appiagyei, Bishop David Oyedepo, Bishop Mike Okonkwo, Papa Ayo Oritsejafor, and many more.
Testimonies of healing and breakthrough follow him wherever he sets up to praise and worship and his “International Worship Summit” In Recent Years Bears Witness to that.
Apart from the unqualified expressively awe-inspiring worship anointing; creative and yet simplistic motivational speaking grace, Sonnie is endowed with writing skills that have culminated into authoring six best-selling Christian books.
Currently apart from his academic pursuit, Sonnie’s primary task is to help improve the lives of the less privileged especially in Africa.
In this regard, he has stepped up his Ministry’s Charity Project, ‘Thy Dwelling Place’ Orphanage, while he maintains his Ambassadorial status at Hope Orphanage. He is happily married to Ann-Marie, and they both reside in London.
