Johnny Drille, born John Ighodaro in Edo State, Nigeria, began singing in his father’s church before rising into one of Nigerian alternative music’s most beloved voices. Signed to Mavin Records in 2017, he blends folk, soul, and African influences into deeply emotive music.
This Easter, Drille released his “Easter Medley,” a worship experience reminding listeners of the victory found in Jesus Christ. Weaving together powerful declarations of faith, the medley proclaims “We’re free, free forever,” celebrating the finished work of the cross, with the line “When death was arrested, my life began” carrying the full weight of resurrection joy. It is not merely a song, it is a confession, a celebration, a moment of sacred stillness in a fast-moving world. For Johnny Drille, Easter is personal, and it shows.
