(Washington, D.C.) – January 18, 2011 – TolumiDE (pronounced toe-lu-MEE-day), one of the most exciting gospel artists to hit the stage in years, has been promoting her debut project, My Love. A D.C.-based, urban contemporary artist who includes Hip-hop, R&B and African rhythms in her unique sound, she has been heard nationally on dozens of gospel radio stations. Songs like her CD’s title tune, “My Love” and the laid-back “What I’d Like To Be” have the gospel music industry talking about the Nigerian songstress. She’s been covered in the Afro American, The D.C. Examiner, Heed Magazine, EURWeb.com, GospelPundit.com, PrayzeHymnOnline.com, TheBlackGospelBlog.com and her video has received airplay on Gospel Music Channel, Christian Broadcasting Network, ONE Gospel, MTV Base, Channel O, Nigezie, and MBOA TV.
