The latter joined the Chankielan­d family in 2019 through the 13 Live Recordings Project audition, a unique initiative aimed at providing a platform for 13 Worship leaders to record free albums and participat­e in a Television Production.

During her time with Chankielan­d, Boago Fenju received the prestigiou­s Producers’ Award, entitling her to a record deal for either five years or five albums, whichever came first with the label.
