“Gospel Star EeZee Tee Turns 40, Launches Empowerment Forum For Emerging Artists”

Gospel music executive and founder of EeZee Conceptz Global, Dr. Ezekiel Onyedikachi, popularly known as EeZee Tee, is set to celebrate his 40th birthday on October 1 with a distinctive event aimed at transforming the gospel music industry.

Rather than hosting a traditional lavish party, EeZee Tee is turning the milestone into what he describes as a “volcano of wisdom,” an initiative focused on mentorship, knowledge-sharing, and empowerment. Having spent two decades shaping the careers of some of Nigeria’s leading gospel artists, he intends to use the occasion to inspire and guide the next generation of talent.

The celebration, themed DrEeZee@40, will take place in Lagos and is divided into two main sessions: a Music and Business Seminar running from morning to late afternoon, followed by a Thanksgiving Dinner in the evening.

“Instead of just celebrating with food and drinks, I saw this milestone as an opportunity to share the knowledge, experiences, and insights gained over my 20-year journey,” EeZee Tee said in a statement ahead of the event.

The seminar will feature keynote addresses and panel discussions from prominent figures in music, ministry, and business. Topics will include entrepreneurship, personal development, monetizing creative talents, and building sustainable careers in the entertainment industry.

Reflecting on his career, EeZee Tee described his path from a child instrumentalist to leading one of Africa’s most influential gospel record labels as a journey filled with “trials, triumphs, and divine grace.”

“It has been a process of learning and unlearning, of overcoming challenges and achieving breakthroughs. I want these experiences to benefit others, helping to nurture the next generation of leaders in the gospel music ecosystem,” he said.

Looking forward, the music executive sees his 40th birthday as the beginning of a new chapter. “We are trusting God for more revelations, new opportunities, and platforms to harness Christian talent while fostering stronger collaborations across industries,” he added.

The event is expected to draw a select audience of gospel artists, entrepreneurs, ministers, and professionals. Attendance is exclusive, with an early registration fee set at ₦250,000 and ₦300,000 thereafter. EeZee Tee clarified that the fee is intended to ensure participants are genuinely committed to mentorship and growth.

“This gathering is not merely an event; it is a compressed volcano of wisdom in a single room over 12 hours,” he emphasized.
