While serving at Winners Chapel International Maryland as a worship leader and later Music director in 2015, she released her 3rd album titled “Unstoppable Praise”.

Bunmi released a single in January 2022 titled “Holy Ghost Move” and in August 2023, she released her much anticipated 8-track album produced by music maestro, and the famous United Nations Ambassador for Peace – Wole Oni. This latest project has been an inspiration to the world

When Bunmi is not making music or serving in church, she preoccupies herself with organising and hosting events like Rekindle the fire, New Season, and other gospel events in the USA and Nigeria.

In 2020 she was led by the Holy Spirit to organise a praise and worship event every first day of the month, with the objective to bring all nations of the world together virtually (online) for the purpose of Worship. This online event continues to grow in impact and popularity every month.
