The Lux City Choir is a young, high-energy gospel choir and vocal group that has quickly built an international footprint since forming in the early 2020s. Led by UK-based Nigerian choir director, and producer Joshua (Josh) Bowale, the group blends contemporary worship and African praise medleys to produce wonderful musical performances.
Origin, Leadership and Mission
While Lux’s exact beginnings are recent a couple of things point to the choir being founded around 2023 and its leadership is the clearest throughline: Josh Bowale (also known as Joshua Adebowale) is the choir’s founder, creative director, vocal arranger and producer.
Bowale is an experienced vocal director, session musician and producer who uses Lux music group as a vehicle for modern choir arranging, vocal production, and collaborative projects with singers. He has also worked at the Elevation Church and Celebration Church International. The choir’s public pages describe a mission of excellence, contemporary worship accessibility, and creating joyful, well-produced choral music.
Sound and Repertoire
Lux’s repertoire ranges from spontaneous worship medleys and contemporary gospel singles to seasonal carol medleys and studio singles.
Their published tracks and uploads show medleys with strong African praise influences, traditional choral moments (arrangements of the Hallelujah Chorus / classical choral motifs), and original contemporary gospel singles such as “This Year (Making Money),” “Overcomer” (a collaboration with Timi Lumor), and the widely streamed “African Praise Medley.” These recordings present the choir as adaptable: they perform stripped, spontaneous worship sets as well as large, arranged studio pieces.

Notable Releases and Collaborations
From streaming platforms and single credits it’s clear Lux City Choir has been featured on multiple releases and collaborations. For example, “Overcomer” (credited to Josh Bowale featuring The Lux City Choir and Timi Lumor) was released in 2024.
Lux also appears on streaming services such as Spotify, Apple Music and Audiomack with tracks like “African Praise Medley” and live medleys uploaded to YouTube. Their recorded output positions them both as a standalone choir and as sought-after backing vocal specialists for contemporary gospel producers and artists.
Performance Style & Live Work
From live videos and reels the Lux City Choir’s performance style focuses on contemporary praise language, tight harmonies and modern vocal production values (multi-part BGVs, dynamic solo features and layered studio overdubs). They show availability for recordings and events, indicating they function professionally both as a touring/performance choir and as a studio vocal group doing live event choirs, session backing vocals and recorded projects.
Lux City Choir is a useful case study in how modern gospel choirs grow today. Lux’s mix of contemporary African praise sounds and Western choral polish makes them relevant for worship services, gospel releases, and cross-genre projects that want a choir with both precision and energy.
