Gospel Music Artist, Vivian Valus and Joe Mens, Music Producer

*Nigerian Gospel Music Star Praises Ghanaian Music Producer*

Sister Vivian Ijeoma Ogbu, aka Vivian Valus, who is based in East Orange,
New Jersey is originally from Abiriba, Abia State in Nigeria. She is happily
married to Prince Valentine Agwbu Ogbu and they are blessed with two
beautiful children: Favour and Gift. Vivian is an anointed woman of God who
ministers to people through songs.

*STORY BEHIND HER ALBUM*

In an exclusive interview, Vivian Valus said there have been some prophecies
concerning her music ministry that have come true. "When people hear my
music, they are uplifted and healed, God is faithful and his mercies endure
forever". She continued that she is forever honored for being used as God's
vessel to reach out and minister to people.

*MEETING JOE MENS: SINGER, SONGWRITER, PRODUCER & ARRANGER*

Vivian Valus praised Joe Mens, her Ghanaian multitalented music Producer for
coming to her aid.

She said that with the help of his aid, her anticipated album is coming to
fruition.

She said initially, she was working with an American music producer on her
album in New York. Due to cultural differences and the type of music, it was
difficult for her to complete her project. She prayed to God to connect her
with an African music producer.

With the help of a fellow Nigerian, Pastor Mike from Christ Bright and
Morning Star Church in East Orange, NJ, she was introduced to one of the
most experienced Ghanaian multitalented Producers and known back in Ghana as
one of the best drummers of all time: Joe Mens (America's Music Ga Mantse).
She spoke highly of her producer and feels blessed to connect with him
because he understands her level of creativity. She says she is pleased to
have someone like him overseeing the production of her forthcoming album.

The title of the album is "Ekwu Eme" which means, "Faithful God".

*VIVIAN VALUS MESSAGE OF HOPE TO ALL MANKIND*

Vivian Valus wishes that everyone will live a life of thanksgiving because
no matter the situation, good or bad, God is faithful. No one can deny
God's faithfulness and goodness.

it or not"
