"Surrender Saved My Sanity” — Tobi Tokz Gets Real About Faith and Mental Struggles in New Gospel Debut

British-born Nigerian artist Tobi Tokz has released his first-ever gospel single, “I Surrender”, now streaming on all major platforms. But for Tokz, this song isn’t a career move—it’s survival music.
“I was grieving my only brother. I was anxious, disconnected, and angry at God,” he shares. “Music stopped feeling like home. I wasn’t even sure I wanted to live, let alone record.”
For months, Tobi quietly stepped away from secular music and started journaling, praying, and posting raw faith content online. “I Surrender” was born in that dark, quiet space.
Blending stripped-down gospel production with deeply personal lyrics, the song marks a spiritual and emotional rebirth for Tokz—a far cry from the polished hooks he was once known for.
“Surrendering wasn’t weakness,” he says. “It was the only way I didn’t lose my mind.”
The track speaks to anyone navigating mental battles, loss, or spiritual burnout—and it opens a new chapter for an artist who has nothing to prove, only something to share.
