At Just 16, He’s Been Writing Soundtracks for God Since Age 10: Ayomide’s ‘Steadfast’ Is a Teenager’s Love Letter to a Faithful God

There is something profoundly moving about a young person who has already learned what many spend a lifetime trying to grasp—that our stories are not ours to take credit for, but are instead reflections of a love greater than ourselves. At just sixteen years old, worship leader Ayomide Olubowale, known to many as Ayosingz, has released his new EP “Steadfast,” and in doing so, has offered the world a gift that feels far beyond his years. Having first stepped into recording studios at the tender age of ten with his debut single “Rest,” Ayomide has spent half his life learning to translate the language of his soul into rhythms and melodies that carry the weight of worship. But what makes “Steadfast” so arresting is not merely the technical skill of its young creator—it is the quiet wisdom woven through every track, the understanding that God’s faithfulness is not always loud or dramatic, but often shows up in the ordinary moments, the everyday mercies, the threads of a story that only make sense when we stop trying to take credit and simply receive.

As Ayomide explains, “While writing ‘Steadfast,’ the threads of my story began to connect in my mind. I now understand that I cannot take credit for it; it is a reflection of God’s steadfast nature.” These are not the words of a teenager performing piety, but of an old soul who has discovered the secret that sustains genuine worship: that we are not the authors of our own faithfulness, but merely responders to a God who never wavers. Building on the foundation of his previous single “My Everything,” Ayomide remains intimately involved in every aspect of his craft—writing, producing, and shaping soundscapes while somehow also balancing school, extracurricular activities, and serving in his home church. Yet perhaps the most beautiful element of this entire story is that Ayomide hopes listeners will not marvel at him, but will instead recognize God’s goodness in their own lives. “Steadfast” is now available on all major streaming platforms, but more importantly, it is available to anyone who needs reminding that faithfulness is not about our grip on God, but about His grip on us—a truth so simple that even a child can sing it, and so profound that it takes a lifetime to fully receive.
