 Meet David Abuh Johnson also know as Joe Dave, he is a Gospel artist. Born on the 6th of September 1995.He is the eldest son out of 7, 5 boys and 2 girls. Was born at Malali in Kaduna where he lived till he finished his Junior secondary school and relocated to Birnin Gwari and continued his senior secondary school at Science School Birnin Gwari and finished in 2010.

He has worked with so many organisations and institutions. He used to be a teacher of mathematics and physics in secondary schools then as at 2010 to 2020.

He also volunteered with the health department of Birnin Gwari Local Govt and has undertaken community based projects too, one of which is the Kaduna State Youth Peace building Academy project which he served as the coordinator. David currently works with a civil society organisation with the name AID Foundation located at Barnawa in Kaduna

Music for him is a call and its hereditary. In every generation of his family, there are music ministers, its an ordination. He started music at a very tender age. It started by him liking music. Joe listened so much, he sang along but the thing was that he couldn't join a choir because he was shy. He had problems communicating and relating with people so he was reserved and It continued until his Dad asked someone to teach him how to play the drums when he was 11.He Iearnt to play the drums and played in the church.

As time went by, He began to sing in the church too and was learning to play other instruments like the recorder. At 17, his passion for music was so strong that he began to read any material that he could lay hands on as far as it was music inclined. This helped him learn sheet music. And there was growth. So many things happened between that time to now, experiences, encounters and revelations that gave him the conviction that this is a call upon his life.

 Dave had his first single in September 2019.

Between September 2019 to now, God has helped tremendously and he was able to produce 6 singles titled,

 You are Great

Living Water

Karbi Daukaka

Holding Unto You

Holy Ghost Your Tribe.

When asked how the journey has been so far he said "The journey has never been easy but God is helping. in fact God gave me speed.He made provisions. You see when you are starting out, majority will not believe in what you do and as such will not support you. Only a few will.And that is the stage you need consistency and believe in yourself. Many will mock you but laugh at it and continue. It is a stage and a process that must happen". When asked what plans or projects he will be working on this year he said "I am currently planning on doing Video live recordings and a concert this year. And God is already helping".
