IRAGI sings contemporary songs of praise and worship.
The award-winning gospel minister, originally from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), aims to bring people closer to God through his music.
Iragi Chihebe (32), who lives in Joburg and is also a computer scientist, linguist and private tutor, said his love of music is truly unexplainable.
"Music is life and gospel music in particular connects you to the throne of God and keeps me focused," he said.
The singer, who owns the Genuine Worship Time movement, which operates as a record label and religious organisation, said his music career began in 2018 and he released the single You Are great in the same year.
Iragi said he has released many songs, including his debut album of 12 tracks titled Mighty and Worthy in December 2021.
He's excited and honoured that his new song, Today Miracle Follow Me, is nominated in the Best of Africa Song of the Year 2023 category at the Mpumalanga Gospel Music Awards 10.
The awards ceremony will be held at Mbombela Stadium on Friday, 10 December.

Iragi said he hates putting effort and energy into things that don't bring results.
"The biggest challenge in music is finances, rejections and unsuccessful releases," Iragi said.
Iragi said he's working on his second album called Follow Me, which will be launched in February 2024.
He said they're busy preparing for Worship Fever 2023, which will be held in the Joburg CBD on Saturday, 16 December
Some of the awards he has won include Best of Africa Artist of the Year 2022 at the Mpumalanga Music Awards.
