Victor Thompson on the new album:

"I am God's evidence of Love, Kindness and Favour. That's the expression and confession I share in this Heartfelt Debut Album "BLESSED". The journey to this Album is a "grace story". I grew up on the streets of Lagos, Nigeria and I've been doing music literally all my Life. However, I never could have imagined the extent of God's love and blessings in my Life."
