Popular gospel artiste and medical doctor Otejiri Imah has officially dropped his longtime stage name “Dr. TJ” and will now be known simply as Otejiri Imah.

The announcement marks a new chapter in the singer-songwriter’s career. According to those close to him, the change is meant to help fans connect more closely with his true identity, cultural roots, and personal story.

Otejiri Imah, who is also a qualified medical doctor, rose to prominence in the gospel music scene as Dr. TJ. He built a strong following with spirit-lifting songs that have blessed many across Nigeria and beyond. His music catalogue remains available under both names for now as fans adjust to the transition.

The rebranding is described as a move towards greater authenticity. Supporters say it reflects his desire to present himself fully as the person he is, rather than through a stage persona.

Since the change, Otejiri Imah has already released new music under his real name. His latest single, “Baba,” an uplifting praise anthem, has been well received by gospel music lovers.

The artiste has expressed gratitude to fans who have supported him throughout his journey, both as Dr. TJ and now as Otejiri Imah. He continues to combine his medical profession with his calling as a gospel musician and songwriter.

This development has generated positive reactions within the Nigerian gospel music community, with many artists and fans welcoming the bold step towards originality and deeper personal expression.

Otejiri Imah’s music remains focused on faith, gratitude, and the greatness of God. He is expected to release more songs as he fully steps into this new phase of his ministry and career.
