It is often said that your talent is God’s gift to you but what you do with it is your gift back to God.
This is certainly true for Deborah Okolie, a 14-year-old gospel singer and actress.
The talented young artist known by the stage name, KamDebbie, is from Iheoma in the Orlu local government area of Imo state.
In an interview, the young artiste stated that she began singing at the age of six and acting at the age of twelve, and that it was a God-given talent that she felt worthy of displaying to the world in order to bless and uplift others.
Announcing the release of her album “Amazing Glory” on 9th October, 2022 at Excellent Ladies Ministry Center, 26 Guesthouse, off Mr Biggs, Fegge Onitsha, the artiste stated that her mother was one of her biggest supporters, always pushing and inspiring her to be better.
Reverend Zeal Okolie, founder and president of Excellent Ladies and Joy for the Widows, also stated that she noticed her daughter’s talents at the age of six, when she began singing in her ministry, schools, and churches, and she inspired people through her voice.
She stated that, while she wishes her daughter to keep progressing to become a medical doctor, she is willing to support her God-given talent so that the world can be blessed as a result of it, encouraging Nigerian parents to not give up on discovering and promoting their children’s talents.
Speaking also, Evangelist Leo Ewuzie, State Chairman of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, stated that the young lady is talented and has a strong support system in the form of her mother, who called him and persuaded him to listen to the young artiste which led to his discovery of KamDebbie, whom he described as a bundle of talent who is rapidly rising in the entertainment industry.
