Gospel singer Kefee remembered after 1 year.




Today, June 12, 2015 marks the 1st year anniversary of the death of late gospel
singer, Kefee Obareki Don Momoh who was died of lung failure in a Los
Angeles hospital on Thursday, June 12, 2014 after being in coma for 15 days.
The popular singer born Irikefe Obareki, was eventually buried on July 11, 2014
in her native Delta State.

Until her death last year, which was too devastating and sudden for fans and
colleagues, Kefee was an award winning Nigerian musician born in Sapele, Delta State to the family of Andrew Obareki .

Kefee graduated from University of Benin with a degree in Business
Administration and in 2000, released an album titled Trip which went a long
way in paving the way for her as far as the Nigerian music scene in concerned.
In 2003, she got signed to Alec’s Entertainment, a record label founded by her
former choir director and subsequently released the album containing her
unforgettable smash hit tune, ‘ Branama‘ which was named after the single,
shortly afterwards.

Kefee was married twice before her death; she was married to Alec Godwin , her
former choir director and producer for 3 years until 2008. However, for the more
than one year of her life on earth, she got married to popular Radio host, Teddy
Esosa Don-Momoh on March 3, 2013 in Delta state.

8 months after her death, precisely on Thursday, February 5, 2015, a post
humous album was launched at a special memorial service in honour of the late singer. The new 12-track album is titled Blessed and was deliberately released on her birthday, February 5, 2015 as she’s always done in her lifetime,
according to her husband.
