Portrait of Sharon Mbungu Akinseye

Biography

Her Story

Sharon Mbungu Akinseye is a Christian Gospel singer and songwriter. She sings from faith, from consolation, and from a love for the gift God placed in her voice.

01 — The beginningA first step, taken in faith

Sharon started music in 2023. In 2024, she officially presented herself as an artist. The beginning was not a long apprenticeship or a career already in motion. It was a first step — taken in faith, because the song would not stay quiet. She has called it a new journey in gospel music: African gospel, hymn, and worship offered together.

02 — The callA gift, then offered back

She did not attend school for music. She had no formal music experience before she began. Sharon considers singing a gift from God, and she loves it deeply. The work is not built on credentials. It is built on calling — a voice received, then offered back in worship.

As a singer and songwriter, her ambition is to see Christ glorified in every note and lyric, creating a space where faith and melody meet.

“I express my love for Jesus Christ through a beautiful blend of languages — English, French, Swahili, and Lingala.”

03 — Through lossConsolation after Thamba

After losing her youngest brother, Thamba Mbungu, music became a source of consolation. Grief is not a spectacle here. It is a quiet turning — toward the One who holds what we cannot, and toward a song that could still be sung. In that season, her voice became a place of healing as much as a place of praise.

04 — FaithThe life she sings from

Sharon is a Christian and a Message believer. Her faith is foundational to her music and to her identity. What she sings is meant to carry a message: worship, hope, and the nearness of God. The gospel is not a genre she visits. It is the life she sings from.

Malachi 4:5

05 — Her rootsCongo and America

Sharon is American and lives in the United States. She is originally from the Democratic Republic of Congo. African Gospel warmth and a worshipful, soulful voice meet in that inheritance — not as a costume, but as home. Two countries. One testimony. A song that still belongs to God.
