Evang. (Dr). Bola Are

Bola Are is a Yoruba gospel singer, and one of the pioneers of gospel music in Nigeria. She was once the President of the Gospel Musicians Association of Nigeria (GOMAN).

Evangelist Dr. Bola Are was born in October 1, 1954, to the family of Elder Babayomi and Mrs T. A. Babayomi who hail from Erio, Ekiti State, Nigeria. She had her primary education at Christ Apostolic Chruch (C.A.C) Primary School Erio, Ekiti, while her secondary education was at Christ Apostolic Church (C.A.C) Grammar School at Efon, Alaaye.

After her secondary education, she went on to Ibadan Polytechnic, to study accounting, but deferred the admission to focus on her singing ministry. In July 1985, Bola was awarded a doctorate in music by St. John’s University, Missouri U.S.A.

The vibrant and spirit-filled singer was trained by four major Christ Apostolic Church prophets - Apostle Ayodele Babalola, Prophet Babajide, Prophet Akande, and Prophet T.O. Obadare. While growing up, Bola Are spent most of her time on the mountain and receives her inspiration from the holy spirit.

Bola Are got married to late Pastor J.O. Are in 1977, and they are blessed with children. Her children are also singers and instrumentalists.

Many Bola Are songs become very popular and trendy online with a great number of streaming and downloads on Boomplay.

Career
Evangelist Bola Are’s parents told her that she started singing a few days to her first birthday, so she describes herself as a born singer. Her parents knew she was going to be a singer because it had been prophesied before her birth that she would serve God.

When she was eight years old, the singer and her friends sang and danced around the community, with the new clothes her parents bought them for the Easter celebration.

On the 26th of June 1973, Evangelist Bola started a music band called Bola and Her Spiritual Singers. In August 1977, she debuted her first musical album, Baba Ku Ise. As at 2014, Evangelist Bola Are had released over seventy albums.
