It brings together the passion and creativity of rap and combining it with the energy of other music forms such as drum’n’bass /funky house with an element of street. Triple O is an innovative and passionate music minister breaking through the United Kingdom’s rapidly emerging gospel scene.

His ministry has been strongly supported by his church ‘Divine Restoration Mission’ in Dagenham, East London.
