Hit singer keeps close to Christ

Globally, streaming of Christian music on popular app and website Spotify has risen 60% in the last five years. And new UK-based artists are finding their place in the gospel and Christian music landscape, too.

One of those emerging young talents is Portugal-born but UK-based artist Sondae, who released his fourth album “BOY” last year.
