Sacramento, CA — Madontrenique “Mona” Fenner’s true love is singing! At an early age, Mona knew she had an extraordinary gift from God.

Mona has sung background vocals and has opened for Earth, Wind & Fire, Marvin Sapp, Donald Lawrence, Bishop Walter Hawkins, Edwin Hawkins, Tramaine Hawkins, Richard Smallwood, Hezekiah Walker, and Darryl Coley.
Her voice has carried her around the United States and to Stockholm, Sweden, to perform at the Stockholm Gospel Festival. This summer, Mona released her debut single “Troubles Don’t Last Always” via EMG Alliance. Her robust vocal and evangelical delivery of the encouraging lyrics create a powerful song of inspiration.
“Troubles Don’t Last Always” is written by James Jackson and is available on all digital music outlets. The song is produced by Ivan Johnson (for Yibro Music Group) and features legendary guitarist Jonathan Dubose. The single is impacting Gospel radio now.
“This song is one of my many testimonies of a season of trouble and darkness in my life,” Mona shares. “But it also represents a period of preparation for my current journey.” She continues, “God does some of his best work in some of our darkest places. He is still working and will work things out on your behalf. That is the encouragement I want to give through this song.”
Mona has answered God’s call on her life and is walking into her season of music and ministry. “Troubles Don’t Last Always” is the precursor to Mona’s forthcoming debut album I’M STILL HERE.

The Gospel reggae cover of “Jireh” originally performed by Elevation Worship and Maverick City is out now wherever music is sold or streamed on Christafari’s 2021 “Under God” album.
Filmed entirely in Valdez, Alaska, this is Christifari’s 100th music video to date During this incredible leg of the trip they were able to minister in 3 cities and rural villages and share the Gospel with the beautiful Ahtna tribe in Gulkana village. Special thanks to all of Christafari’s supporters who make their missions and music videos possible.
Christafari was founded in 1989 by Pastor Mark Mohr. Raised in a Christian family, during his teens Mohr strayed from his spiritual upbringing and turned to drugs and alcohol, going as far as growing and even dealing marijuana. After running away from home, living on the streets, and hitting rock-bottom, he had an undeniable encounter with God that drastically transformed his world. At 17, Mark re-committed his life to Christ and took what he now calls his “Freedom Step” out of addiction.
At that point, his greatest desire was to help others escape the same bondage that once entangled him. He felt God leading him to start the first Gospel reggae band in America. Just two weeks later the band was birthed at a camp talent show, when a friend said, “So you’re not a Rastafarian anymore; you’re a Christafarian.” And the name stuck! While their name may just sound like a play on words, in Biblical Greek it stands for a group of people who bear or represent the name of Christ. “At that time, the best advice I was given was to go to Bible College so I could be theologically and doctrinally sound,” says Mark, who attended BIOLA University, taking classes that emphasized pastoral studies and missions. During his college years, Christafari continued to take shape as Mark wrote songs for the band’s first three albums.
In 1999, after recording two albums with Gotee Records under the tutelage of TobyMac, Mark branched out and founded his own record company, Lion of Zion Entertainment, with the goal of “reaching the world through world music.” He later launched GospelReggae.com. In 2002, while ministering in the Caribbean, Mohr met Trinidadian musician Avion Blackman. The two married a year and a half later and Avion joined the band full-time on bass and vocals. Avion comes from a very large musical family. Her father Ras Shorty I invented Soca and Jamoo music and trained over a dozen of his children to become his own backing band. She began singing lead on stage with her father at only four years old and started playing bass in his band The Love Circle at age 14.
Christafari is comprised of men and women from various continents, countries, and cultures who share a love for reggae music and passion for following Jesus to the ends of the earth.
Christafari is no stranger to chart success. Since the release of their first “Reggae Worship” album in the early 90s, most of their CDs have held positions on both the Christian and/or Reggae Billboard charts. In 2012 Christafari made history as the first Gospel artist to hit #1 on the Billboard Reggae Charts with “Reggae Worship: a Roots Revival.” Each of the band’s 5 subsequent studio releases has also topped the Billboard Charts. However, speaking about the band’s chart successes, Mohr states, “We care a lot more about hearts than charts. Our passion is for souls, not sales, and we only do concerts as a way to make converts and fulfill the great commission.”
Christafari has performed in 46 states, over 85 nations, at two Olympic Games and even for a President of the United States of America. The band’s first major tour was 1995’s Reggae Sunsplash, which had them traversing 46 cities in 53 days. Since then, they’ve performed at most major reggae and gospel/CCM festivals with the top artists in the genres. The group has had the privilege of performing at many of the country’s most prestigious venues like LA’s Greek Theater, Dodger Stadium, the Presidential Inaugural Ball, and even from the steps of our nation’s Capitol before a crowd of 500,000!
Christafari has been featured on The 700 Club, CNN, MTV, MTV Brazil, ABC, TBN, JUCE TV, BET, TBS, Greg Laurie’s Harvest, and many more. Their music is even featured in the current curriculum taught at Carnegie Hall. Christafari’s YouTube channel sees well over a million views each month. “Aside from touring,” says Mohr, “our greatest platform to reach the world is YouTube, so we’re doing our best to maximize it with the few resources that we have.” Over the last few years, Christafari has released roughly one music video per month through their Rank and File Film Co. After the inception of Christafari, the band took several annual mission trips to Jamaica. “The funny thing is that one of my first prayers to the Lord after coming to Christ,” recalls Mohr “was, ‘Please don’t make me a missionary in the jungle in some Third World country.’” He now thanks the Lord for not answering that prayer – for it would quickly become the greatest desire of his heart.
After visiting places like Africa, Central and South America, and some of the most remote islands on earth, it became clear also to the rest of the band that these were the types of places that the Lord wanted them to invest their time and talents in from here on out. Their mission was simple: “To reach the lost at any cost and make disciples of every nation.” But the band quickly became troubled by the reality that Third World nations and developing countries couldn’t afford to fly out even a single member of the band, let alone their entire team.
So they became full-time musical missionaries – willing to travel to the ends of the earth in an effort to preach the Gospel through the universal language of music to those who could never afford them in conventional terms. Each of the members in Christafari has the same mission and vision, a commitment that requires tremendous sacrifice and discomfort. But this is right where they believe the Lord has called them. Seeing lives changed across the globe makes it entirely worth their while, and the results have been astonishing: in 2016-2017 the band saw over 231,000 decisions for Christ at their outreach events! They are well on their way towards their goal of seeing one million decisions for Christ within the next decade.

Fast-rising Nigerian gospel singer Bibiola hits the gospel scenes with the release of her new single tagged, “Calling On your name ”Featuring RJP Speaking on the song, Bibiol says “ this is not just a song but an assurance under the name of Jesus that whenever you call on his name, He will answer.
‘Not too long ago, the Beautiful City made and built by God, founded on the Rock, set on a hill, totally prettified by God’s glory, love and grace was targeted at and hit by a mighty storm, a dark boisterous wind sent by those she loved, trusted, esteemed and was good too. A wind gigantic enough to obliterate ten of her size simultaneously.
Like Joseph, she was stripped of color and honor by those who ought to protect and adore her. Like Daniel, she was surrounded by ferocious lions for being who God made her. Like Shadrach Meshach & Abednego she felt so overwhelmingly trapped but refused to bow. for though she was in their midst, the LORD in her, is MIGHTY ° GREATLY MIGHTY. For by the power in the Name of Jesus lions could not devour, the fire could not burn and weapons formed could not prosper.
Salvation is found in no one else but in Christ, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. Jesus is The Way, Jesus is The Truth, Jesus is The Life. Whoever {everyone who} calls on the Name of the Lord will be saved.
In the midst of fire, lions, and storm, she The Beautiful City-Bibiola sang this song many times: CALLING ON YOUR NAME {A conversation with God}
Listen and be exceedingly helped by the Holy Ghost.
Ebi Oginni, a Nigerian-born Irish doctor and an emerging independent singer/songwriter currently based in Derby, England has released a new single “Believe Again”, She has also announced the maiden edition of her mini-concert tagged “Treasuring the Present: Live Mini-Concert” with Ebi Oginni at YADA live.

I was feeling this way at a time I was supposed to be making plans for the new year, setting goals etc. I had come into a meeting to pray for the year ahead and I had no words, so I just stood there. And listened. And heard this song in my Spirit. It has become an anthem of hope for me and my family and I hope it becomes one to everyone that hears it as well.”
Ebi Oginni is a Nigerian-born Irish singer songwriter and doctor who has dedicated her time to healing the people around her. She currently balances working as a paediatrician during the day with writing songs during her free time that she hopes will bring healing to her listeners.
She is currently working on her debut album titled “HOPE”. This album will feature songs that have been written during the pandemic to bring encouragement and hope to people, to keep them moving forward, no matter what.
“Treasuring the Present” is an intimate night of music and stories with upcoming artist Ebi Oginni. She will go through a curated setlist and tell personal stories that will send you on a reflective journey towards treasuring every moment.
