Drawing us in with a charming, elegant guitar soundscape with a glistening frequency and textured drums, Mikey Adebayo opens The Glory Of The Son with metaphorical prose as he sings, “All my life, you have been faithful, I just can’t be anyone, I’ve been living trading stories of the glory of the son… It’s the glory of the son, giving life to everyone…”
We appreciate the charismatic delivery from the rising star, and the emotional depth and dedication to oneness that he conveys with his lyricism.
Speaking on the message of The Glory Of The Son, Mikey confesses, “This is a song expressing gratitude to the ever-present faithfulness of God and how he orchestrates ALL things to happen for his glory and the good for his children.”
The artist from London continues, “I look back at my life and really think; everything that has happened was for the Glory of God and this song attests to that. It is a heartfelt prayer of mine that this song resonates and touches the hearts of many.”
Mikey Adebayo cites influences including Ed Sheeran, Travis Greene, Jon Foreman of Switchfoot, NEEDTOBREATHE, and Chris Tomlin, which we can feel come through in his release, but it is abundantly clear that the visionary creator is manifesting a universe of his own.
We learn that Mikey Adebayo is a singer-songwriter who also works as an NHS doctor. At the age of eleven, he started singing in his church choir and began taking guitar lessons when he entered secondary school that same year.
Growing up in the church, he has been involved in various worship teams, serving as a praise and worship leader, guitarist, and backing vocalist. In his quiet moments, Mikey discovered his talent for songwriting, honing his skills over the course of a decade. Throughout the 2010s, he dedicated himself to serving in his local church and pursuing a career in medicine, all while using any free time to craft melodies and create new anthems in secret.
Now, this young minister is shifting from live performances to recording, reaching audiences far and wide with the release of his powerful debut album, also titled, The Glory of The Son.
We love the intentional nature of what Mikey Adebayo is creating, and have added The Glory of The Son to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we anticipate the release of the full record!
