Mrs. Deborah Adebola Fasoyin is a living testimony of faith, perseverance, and lifelong devotion to God. Born on the 1st of March 1940 in Oyo Town, she came from a humble yet disciplined home as the only daughter and last of six children of Mr. and Mrs. Afolabi. Her father, Joseph Afolabi, combined farming with service as a cook for Europeans at Saint Andrew’s Teacher Training School, while her mother, Mary Olaegbe Afolabi, was a diligent trader from Ogbomosho. From this foundation of hard work and integrity, Mrs. Fasoyin’s remarkable journey began.

Her educational path took her through several towns, including Oyo, Jos, Ogbomosho, Lagos, and finally Lalupon on the outskirts of Ibadan, where she completed her primary education. In 1956, she proceeded to Orita-Metta Baptist Girls Modern School, Ibadan. Beyond academics, her early years were already marked by a deep love for God and music—two forces that would later define her life’s calling.

Mrs. Fasoyin gave her life to Christ at a very tender age and joined the choir of Saint Michael’s Anglican Church, Oyo, in 1949. Music quickly became more than a passion; it became a channel through which her faith found expression. Following her marriage in 1961 to Elder Olusola Fasoyin of the Christ Apostolic Church, she experienced a denominational shift that further strengthened her spiritual walk. Her participation in a gospel recording project at Pastor Kayode Abiara’s C.A.C. Oke Imole, Ibadan, later brought her voice and anointing to public attention, confirming her calling as a gospel singer and chanter of promise.

Alongside her ministry, Mrs. Fasoyin built an admirable professional career, working with Kingsway Stores (UAC) from December 1958 until her resignation as a manager in June 1987. This balance of professional excellence and spiritual dedication speaks to her disciplined and purposeful life.

Over the years, her impact through gospel music has earned her numerous local and international awards. These include the Crystal Award, the Wise Women Awards (UK) in the Naomi Category (2013), YOMAFA recognition, and PMAN’s award for the Most Evergreen Song, “Odun Nlo Sopin,” among others. She is also a respected member of the Gospel Musicians Association of Nigeria (GOMAN). Together with the Good Women Choir, which she leads, her ministry continues to bless lives across generations.

At 86 years old, Mrs. Fasoyin fondly prefers to be called “Sisi”—the Young Lady—reflecting her joyful spirit and unwavering passion for the gospel. To her, gospel music is not merely performance; it is a divine calling and a powerful tool for evangelism, encouragement, and edification of the body of Christ. Her greatest achievement remains being used by God to touch and transform lives.

A mentor, mother, and inspiration to many within Christendom, Mrs. D.A. Fasoyin is blessed with four children—two sons and two daughters—and resides in Ibadan. Her life continues to remind us that when a person yields fully to God, age becomes irrelevant, and impact becomes eternal.
