Blessing Offor (born September 5, 1989) is an American soul singer who launched his career with an appearance on the seventh season of The Voice, where he advanced as far as the show's knockout round. A native of Nigeria, he grew up with five older siblings and migrated to America at six years ago. Despite going blind at a young age â the result of congenital glaucoma and an unfortunate injury to his retina during childhood â he began playing piano at nine years old, performing a mix of pop, jazz, and Motown covers before transitioning to his original compositions. He later studied music at Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee, and successfully auditioned for The Voice in 2014. Following his time on the show, Blessing Offor signed with Sojourn Records and released a gospel-influenced debut album, Roots, in 2015. A period of inactivity followed. Blessing Offor returned several years later with an EP, Brighter Days, which landed him on several charts in 2022. The title track reached Number 2 on Billboard's Christian Airplay and Hot Christian Songs chart, while a follow-up track, "Hallelujah," peaked at Number 10 on Billboard's Christian Airplay format. In 2023, Blessing Offor released a duet with TobyMac, "The Goodness", and the album My Tribe, featuring the single of the same name, which peaked at number 2 on the Billboard Christian Airplay chart. The song pays tribute to his sister Mercy, who died on December 29, 2022, and to his home country. Later that year, "Believe" reached number 23 on Christian Top 40 and was nominated for the Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards. The album My Tribe was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Christian Music Album and reached number 6 on the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart.
