Celebrating His Musical Journey

His latest hit Blessings They Follow Me released in 2025 continues to trend on Audiomack and Mdundo.
Based in Jos, Plateau State, Kespan has remained true to his calling - singing the gospel in Hausa so it reaches the heart of the people. He has collaborated with top northern gospel ministers like Panam Bande, Mark E on Mai Tsarki, and Emmy G Sanga on the unity anthem Muso Juna.
“With Men its impossible, with God all things are possible. God is doing a new thing.” - Kespan Yaron Zaki
Beyond music, his ministry has taken him to international platforms, including the African meal and concert organized by SIM and the Salvation Army in Tramelan, Switzerland in 2023, proving that Hausa gospel music from Jos has a global audience.
How He Is Putting Jos On The World Map
Today we celebrate not just a singer, but an ambassador. Kespan Yaron Zaki has put Jos on the world map by projecting the best of Plateau - talent, peace, and faith. Through his music, he preaches against religious division and calls for love among Christians and Muslims.
