In recent years, many gospel musicians in Nigeria have moved away from relying solely on commercial studios to establishing their own recording sanctuaries within their residences. This trend reflects both technological advancements (affordable digital audio workstations and pro‑audio equipment) and a desire for privacy and flexibility in the creative process. Artists can now track vocals at any hour, refine arrangements without the pressure of studio fees, and cultivate an atmosphere that befits worship. Below is an exploration of three leading Nigerian gospel artistes who have invested in private, in‑house recording facilities; enabling creative control, improved production quality, and greater convenience.

Frank Edwards: From Enugu Streets to Rocktown Home Studio

Frank Ugochukwu Edwards began life in Enugu, learning piano from his father and singing in church choirs. Today, he not only heads Rocktown Records but also operates a multi‑million‑naira recording studio within his Lagos residence. During a live Instagram showcase, he invited followers into “Rocktown,” sharing how he once imagined this very space and, five years on, surpassed it through faith and perseverance. An earlier Nairaland conversation highlights how even international stars like Don Moen expressed interest in collaborating at Frank’s home studio, underscoring its professional caliber. His luxury Lagos home (with a large living area, state‑of‑the‑art security, and integrated studio suite) serves as both a family sanctuary and creative hub. Frank Edwards continues to produce his own work and mentor rising stars under his roof.

Preye Odede: Script Music Studio at Rumuibekewe Estates

Port Harcourt‑based singer and songwriter Preye Odede opened “Script Music Studio” on his estate in Rumuibekewe, providing a dedicated space for rehearsal, digital tracking, and live video capture. Commissioned in early 2021, the facility includes a conference room and even guest suites; essentially a residential creative campus. Industry observers note that locating a professional studio on private property offers security and discretion, particularly for gospel artistes who often balance ministry duties with studio time.

Moses Bliss: The Spotlite Centre at “Home”

Fast‑rising worship leader Moses Bliss formally commissioned “The SPOTLITE CENTRE” (an ultra‑modern digital and live recording studio) via social media, celebrating its launch as a new chapter in his ministry. Though styled as a centre, the Spotlite Nation headquarters doubles as Moses’s creative abode, offering everything from audio suites to video stages within a residential compound. A SoulLyrix report confirms that the space is equipped for live productions, reflecting Moses’s vision to host global collaborations under one roof.
