Jokia
Jokia s launch single Yahweh ascends 4-1 on
Billboard s Gospel Airplay chart dated April 17. In the week ending April 11, the song gained by 20% in plays, according to MRC Data.
The song was solo authored by the 22-year-old Jokia, who hails from Killeen, Texas. It was released on her own label, Jokia Music. Seeing Yahweh at No. 1 is just one of the many small reminders that God is with me, Jokia tells
Billboard. Being an independent artist is not easy, but my hope is that this inspires others to keep going and trust God for His process. Yahweh is the first track from Jokia s debut EP, expected this summer. (Its title is the Hebrew name of God that is often taken as meaning, He brings into existence whatever exists. )
