Niyoki

My Everything
D2G (Dedicated 2 God) Records

For fans of Mariah Carey and even Patti LaBelle, this is an independent release screaming for a record contract’s dotted line.

Niyoki, a soulful, powerful, moving songstress, has a fresh R&B gospel sound and has worked with some of that industry’s giants — Shirley Caesar and Boyz II Men, to name a few.

When someone with such impressive secular credentials, especially a professional-caliber diva, forgoes a mainstream career to go it alone in the equally tough-to-crack Christian market, you have to take her at her word — “Nobody Does Me Like Jesus.”

She sings and you believe it. Check out track five, “Yes, Lord,” and keep your eyes and ears peeled for more of Niyoki.
