Nigerian singer Sola Allyson has openly shared her spiritual journey. She spoke about her path from Islam to Christianity. Different phases of her childhood significantly shaped this journey.

Her early years were spent in Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State. She lived with her maternal grandmother during this period. There, she practiced Islamic teachings and followed the routines expected in a Muslim household.

Her story took a new turn when she later moved to Ikorodu, Lagos. She then lived with her father’s parents. It was there that she reunited with an old friend. This friend frequently invited her to church.

Allyson explained that this period exposed her to a new environment and fresh ideas. A different way of worship unfolded before her.

She also spoke warmly about her Islamic background. Allyson stated she has never hidden her birth name, Rasheedat. As a child, she looked up the meaning of the name. She loved what it represented.

While narrating her various moves between homes, she explained a key point. Her spiritual journey was shaped by the people she lived with. In Ijebu-Ode, she embraced the Muslim way of life. In Ikorodu, she found herself surrounded by Christians and naturally joined their activities.

According to Allyson, she has explored different beliefs over time. This exploration occurred through reading and personal experiences.

She added that for her, discovering God’s will is paramount. This is more important than strictly adhering to one religion.

Allyson shared her comfort in relating freely with people of various faiths. She attributed this openness to her upbringing. She grew up in diverse religious environments.

She also recalled a significant moment in her career. Her music journey took a clear direction on January 17, 1997. This happened after she attended a music training session at a Celestial Church of Christ.
