MUSICAL CAREER
Now signed to DSM records, Lilian’s musical journey and its fruitful outcome were due to her hard work and determination over the years. She was earlier known by the stage name Chidinma under the former label CIS records.
In 2005, Lilian released her first single titled “Almighty God”. The record got her some attention one could ever imagine of a budding talent like her. NTA, AIT, RSTv and Silver Bird Television all aired her premiere record on their respective platforms. This has actually motivated her to unearth another debut gospel singles titled “I will go with you” and “Jesus Na You Biko” in the following year 2006.
With the ignition of praise from family, friends and record label she dropped her first studio album captioned “Almighty God”.
Before fame begotten her, she had to put her musical career on hold for some time due to her busy errands outside Nigeria that needed to be attended to. She later returned to the music scene in full force in 2015 with active and non-stop music and that has resulted in the production of her official single in August titled “Na You Be the One”. In February 2016, she unveiled another single to top her portfolio and captioned it “Believe in God”. The same year, 19th of April, she dropped a song in dedication to her son’s birthday titled “Imela”.

She continues to drop hits after hits, in December 2016, she wrapped the year as she introduced a new song to cheer up the new year 2017 with the title “I Go Survive” featuring Baseline artiste Skales a master craft that made headlines in 2017.
Never did she put a comma to her come back, she started working on her fresh studio album from March 2017 and she had put in a lot of work recording and crafting new beats for her consumption from reputable record producers around her and globally.
Plans did not move swiftly as planned in order to release the album because she was hoping to unmask the next album in December 2017. This was not successful due to the fact; she wants the best of her all attributed to the next studio album.
Thus, she is still working around the clock to bring a perfect album so as to satisfy her fans out there with the optimum best of music to suit their long anticipation.
Meanwhile, in 2017, she released a single titled “My Love for You” to celebrate and honour her wedding anniversary and to uplift souls to love once more and also see the real love in front of them as far as they have the chance and moment. Work was endless through 2017, as she dropped a single in December titled “Onynenema” produced by Ghanaians Most Wanted Producer Mix Master Garzy even though it saddens her for the inability to drop her album same time as this record.
