Ada started her music journey at age 16. Ada began to sing in her church. Right from there, they began to invite their band group to different ministrations for them to minister. And so, she began to develop herself right from her childhood.
So, when Ada decided to be bold and start ministering in various places, including her own church, she had a mentor whose name was David. He was also their band director. This is how he began to groom her and also teach her things about music, and she was singing so well. So, there was a certain time when Ada was doing so well. When Ada was the one to minister in the church, everyone would be happy because they knew she would do well.
Everyone began to praise her in the church and also in places they usually invited them. She was doing very well, and selfishness began to rule over her mentor, David. This is how he developed selfishness, and he started withdrawing from her. So, he was the director of the church. So, he brought a rule to the church band that everyone who wanted to join the band should write a letter, in which everyone in the band, including Ada, wrote a letter and submitted it. And he said Ada's own was not accepted because she brought it a little bit late. So, Ada, at that time, was very confused because she didn't know what she did. And obviously, she didn't do anything. It was just his selfishness, and he wanted to draw her out of the band.
So, he began to bring more challenges. He didn't choose her to sing, even though she brought a song to teach. He didn't make her sing. This is how Ada began to go down gradually because she didn't have the opportunity to train her voice, and she didn't have the opportunity to even sing for months. Ada had not been singing, and the band director came again and said she should write another letter.
And that letter was precisely for Ada. He said she should write another letter and attach it with an apology letter. So, this was when Ada refused to do that because she was thinking she did nothing wrong. So, she refused. And because she refused, he took it that she would not participate in anything, and that she had disobeyed him, David, the band director. So, she would not join the band to minister. But rather, she could come to rehearsal and do other things, but she wouldn't minister.
As time went on, Ada began to train herself at home and also in other places and church rehearsals she went to and trained herself there. When the director thought she was done already and that he couldn't do without her, he didn't know that he was also helping her career and her passion for music to go higher. Just at the time, they decided to appoint a new director.
When Ada heard that, she was so happy, and she knew that the director, David Hamilton, would not have the ability to stop her from singing or ministering in the church anymore. So, she was very happy. And so, they appointed another new director to the church. And when they did that, the new director came with his own rules, and everyone could sing, so far as they were very serious. Anyone could do that.
At the time, Ada brought a song to minister. The old director was just curious to see what she would do, thinking that she had dropped down in music. But when she handled the mic, she sang very well. And also, there was a certain time when they went out for ministration outside their church, and she was the person to minister. When she ministered, there was a gentleman called Daniel.
When Mr. Daniel heard her voice, he was so overwhelmed with the presentation, and his elder brother, Peter, was a very good musician and also a person who groomed people and made them famous. So, Daniel, after the ministration, called Ada and asked her if she could work with his elder brother, Peter. She was very happy about that, and she agreed. When he joined them together, Ada started to show her talent by singing in the studio.
Many recognized the special voice that Ada had. Peter taught Ada the control of her voice so much that she could even write her own songs.
With time, Ada also started recording her own songs. Her passion for singing, which was waning, started burning once again.
To her surprise, Ada's song started gaining popularity. People were recognizing her talent, which had previously been unheeded.
Ada's story became an inspiration to many young people. She always told them, "If you have a gift, don't allow someone's rejection to make you bury it; just keep believing in yourself."
