From Struggles to Strength: Shekts Nelson Unveils Soul-Stirring Single I Need You

Rising gospel sensation Shekts Nelson is ready to touch hearts worldwide with his highly anticipated single, I Need You, dropping December 6, 2024. Born from the collective struggles of the COVID-19 pandemic, this powerful track transforms Shekts’ personal pain into a heartfelt plea for divine guidance. With poignant lyrics like “I need You; I can’t survive without You” and “Please, Lord, show me the way,” the song captures the raw vulnerability of feeling adrift yet clinging to unshaken faith. Its soulful melody and stirring message promise to resonate deeply, serving as a reminder of hope’s enduring light amid life’s darkest challenges. Shekts’ ability to channel universal emotions into his music marks him as a voice of both healing and inspiration for a global audience.

Shekts’ journey to this moment is nothing short of remarkable. Growing up in Goma, in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, he defied numerous obstacles to pursue his passion for music. Inspired by his father, a prominent journalist, Shekts fell in love with gospel at an early age, forming a band at just 13 despite his father’s resistance and local radio bans. When conflict forced him to flee to Kampala, Uganda, his mother became his steadfast supporter, helping him fund studio sessions and focus on his calling. Since then, Shekts has emerged as a bold new voice in gospel music, with hits like I’m A Winner and collaborations like Hosanna with Nigeria’s Same OG. I Need You is more than a song—it’s a deeply personal testimony and a beacon for anyone yearning for hope and restoration. With his debut music video set to release alongside the single, Shekts Nelson is poised to solidify his place as a transformative figure in gospel music.
