Today we celebrate Nigerian gospel legend Kespan Yaron Zaki as he turns 40! September 19, 2026 marks a milestone birthday for one of the most consistent and anointed voices in Hausa gospel music.
From Plateau State to the world stage, Kespan Yaron Zaki has blessed lives for over two decades with spirit-edifying songs that preach hope, repentance, love, and peace.
Celebrating His Musical Journey
Nigerian gospel legend Kespan Yaron Zaki is the founder of Yaron Zaki Studios and the voice behind hits like Muradi Na, Ka Isa Yabo, Yaya Ne with Panam Bande, Na Ba Ka, Sabuwar Waka, and his 2023 album BREAKING WITHIN. 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.
He has mentored a new generation of Jos-based artists and shown that you can be based in Plateau and still be international. His songs are streamed in Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon, and Europe, making him one of the most exported gospel voices from Northern Nigeria.
As he turns 40 today, fans and fellow ministers are celebrating a man who stayed humble, consistent, and focused on the gospel.
