The song’s title, Eliyah, draws prophetic symbolism and encourages listeners to fix their eyes on the Eternal One, whose power and presence remain active today. From the very first note, it invites listeners into intimate worship, reflection, and a deeper awareness of their spiritual heritage.

The Story Behind the Sound

Born Phebean Oluwafunmilola Awolola in Lagos, Nigeria, Funmi Reks’ journey in music began early under the mentorship of her parents, Apostle Awolola and the late Deaconess Awolola. At just seven years old, she joined the adult choir, an early sign of the grace and gifting that would later define her ministry.

Now based in the United Kingdom for over 30 years, Funmi Reks has refined her craft across genres including jazz, funk, highlife, and soul, while remaining deeply rooted in the gospel message. Beyond music, she is a dedicated professional in nursing, public health, and environmental safety, a reflection of her heart for service and community.

Funmi serves as a leading voice at I AM Ministries, alongside her husband Pastor SB Orekoya, where they minister to souls through teaching, worship, and outreach. Her mission is unwavering: to heal, uplift, and awaken people to God’s truth through anointed music.

“Eliyah” is now streaming globally on all major platforms, ready to inspire, realign, and uplift anyone who listens. Whether in personal devotion or corporate worship, this song is a prophetic invitation to walk fully in your identity and inheritance in Christ.
