Gospel music executive and founder of EeZee Conceptz Global, Dr. Ezekiel Onyedikachi, better known as EeZee Tee, is set to mark his 40th birthday on October 1, 2025, with an unconventional celebration that doubles as a movement for change in the gospel music industry.
Instead of a lavish party, the man who has spent two decades shaping the careers of some of Nigeria’s biggest gospel acts is turning the milestone into what he calls a “volcano of wisdom” — a gathering that will focus on mentorship, knowledge-sharing, and empowerment.
The event, tagged DrEeZee@40, will be held in Lagos and is split into two major sessions: a Music and Business Seminar from morning till late afternoon, and a Thanksgiving Dinner in the evening.
For EeZee Tee, the choice was deliberate. “Instead of just eating rice and drinking wine, I thought to use this milestone as an opportunity to share knowledge, experiences, and insights from my 20-year journey,” he told reporters ahead of the celebration.
The seminar will feature keynote addresses and panel discussions from leaders in music, ministry, and business.
Conversations will range from entrepreneurship and personal development to monetising talents and building sustainable careers in the creative industry.
Reflecting on his career, EeZee Tee said his journey from a child instrumentalist to the head of one of Africa’s most influential gospel record labels has been marked by “trials, triumphs, and divine grace.”
“It’s been a journey of learning and unlearning, challenges and breakthroughs. I do not want those experiences to be wasted; I want to pour them into others so we can raise more giants in the ecosystem,” he noted.
Looking ahead, the gospel music influencer believes turning 40 represents the start of a new chapter. “We are trusting God for more revelations, new opportunities, and platforms to harness Christian talents while building stronger collaborations across industries,” he said.
The event is expected to attract a select audience of gospel artists, entrepreneurs, ministers, and professionals. Attendance is exclusive, with a token registration fee pegged at ₦250,000 for early birds and ₦300,000 thereafter.
EeZee Tee explained that the fee was not about commercialisation but about filtering for those who truly seek mentorship.
“This meeting is not just an event; it is a volcano of wisdom compressed into one room within 12 hours,” he stressed.
