MJM @ Seek Jesus Festival | Victor Claye | Ep.4

MJM @ Seek Jesus Festival | Victor Claye | Ep.4 Welcome to Episode 4 of Make Jesus Music @ Seek Jesus Festival! We partnered with Seek Jesus Festival and brought the podcast ✈️ down to Melbourne’s Mornington Peninsula, ringing in 2026 with powerful worship, baptisms, deep connections, and stories of radical redemption on New Year's Eve. What an uplifting, joy-filled conversation with Victor Claye. The Adelaide-based gospel hip-hop and afrobeat storyteller who's turning stages into celebrations of God's love, grace, and restoration! In this episode, Victor opens up about his incredible journey: born in Sierra Leone amid civil war, fleeing as a refugee to Guinea then Australia at age 10-11, growing up in a loving Christian home with his joyful grandmother as a shining example, chasing worldly "freedom" through his teens (soccer dreams, rebellion, sin's snare), hitting rock bottom, and encountering the gospel afresh, realising God's grace covers every mess and disqualifier. He shares how returning to church led to singing in the choir (thanks to his then-girlfriend/now-wife Nadine!), stepping into leadership, discovering songwriting ~6 years ago, and now pursuing music full-time with family in tow (three young boys soaking it all in!). We talk authentic love and romance reshaped by Christ (no worldly counterfeits!), influences from Kanye and Lecrae, blending hip-hop/afrobeat with hymns for joyful, engaging praise, his hope for listeners to overflow with God's love and worship together, and the beautiful family ministry vibe, kids included! Whether you're a fan of upbeat Jesus music, wrestling with your past, or just need a reminder that God's love redeems and restores, this one's full of hope, joy, and invitation!
