Shalom Braide Biography

Shalom Tamuno-oloboyeolom Braide was born 1st September, 1988 to the family of Pastor and Pastor Mrs Braide and hails from Buguma in Kalabari Kingdom, Rivers state, Nigeria. His strong Christain values and early exposure to music was from his father who was the first Regional Music Director of the Redeemed Christian Church Of God (Region 5). He recalls morning devotions where the whole family would sing in harmony to songs and with his dad on the piano or guitar (which were his core instruments), the atmosphere felt so exhilarating which incited his yearning for music.

By his teen days, he was already heading the Teens Choir of his church and by now could already play the piano and drums but his love for vocal harmonies pushed him to discover some music directors from urban contemporary gospel groups and choirs which satisfied his music appetite such as Kirk Franklin, Tye Tribett and GA, Donald Lawrence and Tri city group, James Fortune and FIYA, to mention but a few, eventually influencing his music style.

He has a strong nag for excellence causing him to always opt for knowledge and garner new skills that prove useful to his passion. Some of his skills include; piano, drums, bass guitar, music theory (Grade 5 MUSON), sight reading, music composition and arrangement, songwriting, a gospel music minister and worship leader. He is also currently enrolled to take the American Board of Royal School of Music exams in November.

He has composed several songs  for groups and choirs, some of which are being sung in local churches and during his lives performances. He released his debut single “WONDERFUL” on the 10th of July, 2020 which was highly anticipated by family, friends and fans.
