Nigerian gospel singer and minister Joe Trex, whose real name is Joseph Oyinlola, is set to release a new single, “Hallelujah Song,” as he continues to develop his music ministry in Nigeria and the United Kingdom.
The single, scheduled for release on October 22, 2026, is expected to further establish the musical direction of the emerging gospel artiste, whose work blends contemporary gospel, Afro-gospel and worship.
Joe Trex has built his music ministry around songs focused on worship, the character of God and the believer’s response to His presence. His existing releases include “We Wait (Spirit of the Living God)” and “I No Fear.”
The forthcoming release comes as Joe Trex continues to gain exposure within the gospel music community, having ministered on platforms alongside established gospel artistes including Sinach, Eben, Ebuka Songs, Abbey Ojomu, Folabi Nuel and Neon Adejo, among others.
According to the singer, “Hallelujah Song” will further showcase his artistic expression and his commitment to using music to communicate the message of the Gospel.
For Joe Trex, music extends beyond entertainment. His ministry is built around what he describes as an expression of salvation through music, a conviction reflected in the meaning of his stage name, TREX — The Real Expression of Salvation.
Speaking about his musical journey, Joe Trex said he began singing at the age of seven, influenced by his father, a Juju musician who later became a pastor.
He said his musical development has been accompanied by an emphasis on remaining focused on Christ while maintaining excellence and structure in his ministry.
Based in the United Kingdom, Joe Trex has participated in worship events and Christian programmes in both Nigeria and the UK, giving him opportunities to engage audiences across different settings.
As he prepares for the release of “Hallelujah Song,” the singer is continuing to build a body of work that brings together African musical influences and contemporary gospel sounds while maintaining worship and the Christian message at its centre.
