His effortless mix of Gospel music with influences as far as Rock, Pop, Nigerian rhythms, Soul and even Native American Indian beats have fed the enthusiasm to make him one of the UK’s most sought after music acts. With the release of his latest project “Declaring His Love”, the lead single “Hey Ya” again marks a unique fusion of an American Indian Chant with Contemporary Gospel music. This opening track is one of Muyiwa’s favourites.
“It’s a fusion of the 1st Nation of America's Music (American Indian) with African beats and laced with the classic Muyiwa and Riversongz vocals,” says Muyiwa. An encounter in the US with the 1st Nation of America left him inspired by their history and strength as a people reminding him of his own African experience, singing with his people in his language and the familiar feeling of love
and acceptance.
Teaming up with EMMA Award winning producer Eddie Martin (whose writing/production credits include Whitney Houston, Sarah Connor, Ne-Yo, Jennifer Lopez, Chris Brown and West Life), this winning combination was to be the result of two so-far-released hit albums selling in excess of 80,000 combined units to date.
The new 2008 live music release “Declaring His Love” sees them reunite which promises to raise the stakes musically and visually as an exclusive separate DVD will also be made available in support of extensive national/international touring.
A seasoned radio presenter, Muyiwa hosts the the flagship show "Gospel Tonight" and "Worship Tonight" on Premier Radio as well as presenting "Sounds Of Africa" on Lufthansa Airlines which carried 56 million passengers last year.
Since the release of his two albums “Restoration” and “Declaring His Power”, Muyiwa's voice in the Gospel world has become instantly recognisable and one that he hopes will unite people of all races, cultures and denominations.

The lyrics of Muyiwa & Riversongz's "I Will Sing" are centered on the name of the Lord and the power that it holds. Throughout the song, the singer declares their intention to sing of the Lord's wonderful, glorious, marvelous, and powerful name. The song highlights the fact that the name of the Lord is a source of strength and salvation for the righteous. While some may put their trust in earthly things, the singer chooses to trust in the name of the Lord and sing of its power.
The chorus of the song is repeated several times, emphasizing the singer's determination to continue singing of the Lord's name. The bridge declares that the Lord's name is to be praised from the rising of the sun to its setting, and the final verse once again emphasizes the singer's intention to sing of the Lord's powerful name.
The lyrics of "I Will Sing" are a testament to the power of faith and the impact that singing praises to the Lord can have on one's life. The repetitive nature of the chorus reinforces the idea that committing to singing of the Lord's name can have a transformative effect and provide a sense of strength and purpose.
