Victoria Orenze: A Prophetic Voice of Worship and Influence

July 21, 2025 Blessing Eziebo

Meet Victoria Orenze

Victoria Orenze (born March 23, 1993, in Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria) is a powerful gospel singer, songwriter, worship leader, and apostolic minister known for leading deep, prophetic worship and delivering messages that stir the soul. Her rise—rooted in humility, spiritual authenticity, and passion—has made her one of the most respected voices in contemporary African worship.

From Choir Stalls to Global Ministry

Victoria began her music journey in church, first as a choir member and later as a backup singer. With her vibrant worship gifting and lyrical depth, she progressed into leading worship and songwriting. Her commitment to intimacy with God and careful spiritual growth became the foundation of her ministry.

Her big break came in 2017, when she featured on Nathaniel Bassey’s hit track “Alagbada Ina.” That collaboration brought her into the limelight and launched her into broader recognition within the gospel music industry.

Sound, Songs & Spiritual Depth

Victoria’s music is deeply spiritual, merging prophetic worship with heartfelt melody. Known for creating atmospheres that facilitate divine encounters, her songs often draw both tears and stillness. She calls her craft “a worship experience more than entertainment”.

Some of her notable songs include:

On Fire
Spirit Chant
Covenant Keeping God
I Want to See You
See How Far: Gratitude (feat. Nathaniel Bassey & Dunsin Oyekan)
I Get Backing
Faith Anthem
Secret Place
My Master, My Lord.

In May 2025, she announced the release of the first album in a trilogy titled Jesus Christ Vol. 1, a project she recorded in 2019 and believes carries messages the Church desperately needs today.

Ministry & Influence Beyond Music

Victoria doesn’t just sing—she leads worship in revival settings, conferences, and strategic concerts. Her 2016 event “Return” at the University of Lagos gathered thousands into deep worship, and subsequent concerts—including one with international gospel leaders—sparked widespread revival moments need for spiritual depth before ministry fame, telling emerging ministers, “We must follow Jesus’ example—build intimacy first, not popularity.” Her approach is candid, soul-honest, and rooted in reality rather than performance.

Recognition & Personal Journey

Victoria has garnered several nominations, including:

CLIMA Awards (2018) – Song of the Year: On Fire
AGMMA, Gospel Artiste of the Year nominations
Headies 2023 – for her single I Get Backing .

Though she prefers to keep her personal life private, Victoria openly shared her experience with a failed marriage in 2008 due to domestic abuse, encouraging others through her healing and spiritual growth journey .
