Blessing Offor Biography

Blessing Offor, a Nigerian-born, Nashville-based musician, lost his vision completely by age 10 due to a series of unfortunate incidents, including a congenital condition and an accident with a water gun. His parents, recognizing the better medical and educational opportunities in the U.S., made the painful decision to send him to America at the age of six. This separation, lasting over two decades, was a sacrifice for a potentially brighter future that Nigeria could not offer at the time.

Offor's passion for music provided solace and a path forward despite his blindness. He honed his craft by studying music at Belmont University, where he was influenced by notable educators and musicians. His unique sound blends pop, Motown, and jazz, influenced by artists like Stevie Wonder and infuses his music with themes of overcoming adversity and the joy of living. Offor has collaborated with well-known artists such as Chris Tomlin and Natalie Hemby, further enriching his musical career.

Currently, Offor is celebrated for his musical talent and his engaging ability to share his journey of overcoming obstacles and staying connected to his roots. This is encapsulated in his work on a personal documentary aimed at reconnecting him with his Nigerian heritage, marking his first return to Nigeria in over two decades. Offor’s ability to intertwine personal stories with performances offers a compelling package of inspiration and entertainment. His debut EP "Brighter Days" under Bowyer & Bow/Capitol Christian Music Group, produced by talents like Hank Bentley and Ed Cash, showcases his inviting vocal style and thought-provoking lyrics.

Blessing Offor Speaking Topics

  • Blessing Offor, African American

    Due to necessity, Offor crossed an ocean as a young child and grew up in a completely different culture from the one he knew in Africa. Although he left Nigeria nearly 20 years ago, he still knows where he comes from. Offor is currently in production on a documentary about his extraordinary life; he hopes that the film will bring him back home for a very special performance in Nigeria. In this presentation, he discusses the importance of remaining true to oneself while maintaining cultural heritage and family ties.

  • Listen to the Music in You: Overcoming Adversity

    For most people, life is challenging enough. For those afflicted with blindness, it’s a whole different universe. In this presentation, Offor speaks about his experience overcoming the hurdle that would be insurmountable for some. “While most eleven-year-olds were figuring out which basketball player they wanted to be when they grew up, I had to learn the true definition of who I was.” Offor considered his impairment an enhancement; his other senses were heightened when he lost his sight. During this talk, he reveals how he got through the toughest moments of his life, what he learned and how he flourished by focusing on music and education. Filled with stories of hope, your attendees will walk away feeling invigorated and inspired.

  • The Blessing of Education

    Offor is a living testament to the tenacity of teaching. In Nigeria, his society wasn’t able to see past his partial blindness, as they assumed mental deficiencies always accompanied physical limitations. In America, Offor benefited from some teachers who supported him academically and musically. After testing into the gifted and talented track in NYC, Offor was accepted into an arts magnet school. He then went on to attended Belmont University in Nashville, where he learned from teachers such as Joe Wooten and other songwriting mentors. He considers himself quite lucky to have had the support of the educators who saw his potential, and now passes on his inspirational story in this uplifting talk.

  • An Evening with Blessing Offor

    Sure to be a best-selling artist, Offor will wow your audience just like he did on television’s best music reality show, The Voice. His first performance on the show had Adam Levin, Pharrell Williams, Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton all clamoring to coach him. In this program, Offor will perform live and share what it was like being a contestant on The Voice. His charisma and rich music will make him the talk of the town, while his personal stories of rising above misfortune will inspire and warm the soul.
