Mairo has made a significant mark in the gospel music scene, creating songs that uplift and motivate listeners. He is well-known for his hit singles such as ‘Nani Gi,’ ‘You Are The Reason,’ and ‘The Only God.’
His musical journey began with the launch of his debut album, ‘The Worship of Yahweh,’ in 2015, followed by his second album, ‘Spirit and Life,’ in 2020. In 2022, he released ‘The Equipping (Tongues and Chants),’ a project that further established his unique sound and ministry. His most recent single, ‘Eternal God,’ featuring Prospa Ochimana, was released in 2024.
However, ‘In Your Presence’ hits differently for him.
He says, “My new song emphasizes the importance of dwelling in God’s presence— in prayer, worship, fellowship, studying His word. It’s in His presence that we find meaning to life, direction, and answers to life’s mysteries. In the song you will hear, ‘in God’s presence mysteries are revealed—mysteries about life.”
According to Mairo, “The Bible says that ‘In the presence of God there is fullness of joy, at His right hand there are pleasures evermore.’ In the presence of God there are pleasures — His goodness, His mercy, His grace, His favour, His lifting and more importantly the knowledge of Him.
“In Your Presence highlights how being in God’s presence unravels the questions we carry and provides clarity for the desires and challenges of life. It’s a reminder that everything we need can be found in Him.” he said.
Mairo Ese is not only a talented musician but also deeply committed to mentoring and developing worshippers worldwide. Through his initiative, Revelatory Worship, he teaches and demonstrates the true essence of worship, helping individuals learn how to worship God in spirit and truth. Additionally, he organizes a monthly hybrid worship event that spans five days, bringing believers together for a shared worship experience.
Revelatory Worship has successfully conducted impactful events in various cities across the UK, including Kent, Milton Keynes, Newcastle, Coventry, and Aberdeen, as well as in Ghana, drawing a diverse audience attracted to its transformative approach to worship.
Mairo Ese’s talents extend beyond music; he skillfully integrates various cultural influences into his ministry. His proficiency in leading worship in multiple languages—such as English, Isoko, Yoruba, Igbo, Pidgin English, and Swahili—sets him apart as an artist who can engage a multicultural audience. This versatility significantly enhances his role as a global minister.
On what he projects for his career in the future, he says “The hope for my future and ministry is entirely centered on pleasing God. My ultimate desire, now and always, is to remain in the center of His will—serving Him, aligning my desires with His, and living a life that brings Him glory.
“With the help of the Holy Spirit, my focus is on ensuring that everything I do reflects my commitment to Him. For me, pleasing God is what truly matters.”
