Francis Lans is building a whole different vibe for gospel music in The Gambia by mixing faith with local rhythms and a style that actually connects with younger people. The guy started rapping in high school for fun with his crew, The Light, and then his track Blessings Rain blew up and turned him into one of the country's biggest gospel names on Spotify.
He refuses to fake anything in his music and only writes about stuff he's actually lived through since becoming a believer. Lans also pushes back against the stereotype that Christian artists need to look boring or dress a certain way, saying believers can be fashionable and still serve a different purpose.
The artist is gearing up for Big Motion 2.0 to celebrate ten years of ministry work, and he thinks the gospel scene in the country has real potential for bringing young believers together through worship.
