In the vibrant landscape of African Gospel music, few voices resonate with the authentic power of testimony quite like Eziza Mponya. Born Elizabeth Madalo Mponya in Queens, this Malawian Gospel artist has been touching hearts and transforming lives through her music ministry since 2006.

To me Gospel music means telling people about the gospel of Jesus Christ and being God's mouth piece or representing the kingdom of God through music.

A Journey of Faith and Music

Eziza's musical journey began nearly two decades ago when she released her first album in 2006, initially performing alongside her sister Triza. Though their paths diverged when Triza left the country, Eziza continued her calling with unwavering dedication. Today, with Triza back in the country, their story comes full circle, highlighting the beautiful tapestry of family, faith, and perseverance.

As a full-time minister, Eziza views her role not as a performer, but as a steward of God's message. "I believe that I am just a steward - whatever my ministry is doing is for God's glory and not mine," she shares with humble conviction.

The Power of Daily Testimony

Every morning brings new testimony for Eziza Mponya. Her greatest testimony, she says, is the privilege of direct communication with God - a relationship that brings her profound joy and purpose. This daily encounter with the divine fuels her music and ministry, creating an authentic connection that resonates deeply with her audience.

For Eziza, worship isn't just a performance; it's a way of life. "I pledged my life to God so worship is my habit and I feel good," she explains. This genuine approach to ministry has earned her recognition beyond the music industry, as she actively serves as a social worker in her community.
