MARTIN ADU is a music minister,an inspirational gospel music artist based in Leiden, the Netherlands at the Levensstroom Gemeente (Livingstream church).
He started singing at the age of 9 and has in the last 20 years a varied experience in leading choirs, conducting gospel music workshops and as guest soloist in different churches, conferences and concerts in the Netherlands, England, France, Nigeria, Ireland, Canada and the USA.
He is British born, (London) and his ability to speak other languages like French , German and Nederlands (Dutch) has been useful in reaching many in his music ministry.
His Story
Growing up singing hymns in a denominational church, and then coming into a personal relationship with Jesus, on encountering the evangelical christian world changed Martin's music forever. The words became important. The anointing became indispensible and positive comments from listeners in college brought a realisation of something special. Obeying the call, Martin ministers in Praise to God a worship leader and in encouragement as a christian musical artist.
The various musical influences he has had plus his warm baritone with heartfelt singing have touched hearts and make him a joy to listen to, and much in demand.
Martin is at home whether as guest soloist with a large Gospel choir, a praise band or in Solo mode. His passion is infectuous and his heart for reaching listeners with the good news and encouraging is unmissable.
Martin is married to beautiful Catherine and has 2 daughters Jane and Fiona
