The Worship Artist Elevating Caribbean Praise with Passion, Purpose, and Prophetic Sound

Rhoda Isabella has long been recognized as one of Jamaica’s most compelling gospel voices—an anointed worship leader, songwriter, and recording artist whose ministry blends Caribbean vibrancy with deep spiritual conviction. With the release of her newest album, Doxalogii, Vol. 1, on December 29, 2025, she steps boldly into a new era of prophetic worship, sonic maturity, and artistic leadership.

 


A Journey Rooted in Worship

Born and raised in Jamaica, Rhoda Isabella’s musical journey began early. Baptized at age four and encouraged by her late father to sing from the time she was five, she grew into ministry with a strong foundation of faith and family. Her professional entry into gospel music came at 17 when she began singing background vocals for acclaimed Jamaican gospel artist Jermaine Edwards. She later joined the trio iWorshipp, sharpening her vocal craft and stage presence.

Her formal training at the Edna Manley College of the Visual and Performing Arts added artistic depth to her natural gifting, preparing her for the solo career that would soon follow.


Breakthrough and Rise

Rhoda Isabella’s debut album, Kingdom Rhode (2019), introduced her as a fresh, powerful voice in Caribbean gospel. Songs like “Church Medley,” “Still Breathing,” and “You Lift Me Up” resonated widely, earning her multiple nominations and wins at the Sterling Gospel Music Awards.

Her ministry continued to expand through dynamic live performances, national worship events, and a growing digital presence. Known for her passionate delivery and prophetic edge, she quickly became a staple in Jamaica’s worship landscape.


Doxalogii, Vol. 1: A New Sound for a New Season

Rhoda Isabella’s newest album, Doxalogii, Vol. 1, marks a significant artistic and spiritual milestone. Released on December 29, 2025, the project features 11 tracks and runs over 1 hour and 30 minutes, offering a rich tapestry of worship, declaration, and Caribbean‑infused praise.

Featured Tracks Include:

  • “Jehovah” – A powerful opener that sets the tone for reverent, high‑energy worship
  • “Maranatha” – A cry for the return of Christ, blending urgency and beauty
  • “Standing” (feat. Dr. Glacia Robinson) – A stirring anthem of resilience and faith
  • “Pure” (feat. ADEJOE) – A reflective call to holiness and surrender
  • “Freedom Chant” – A nearly 17‑minute worship journey that builds into a triumphant declaration

The album’s thematic pillars—The Journey, The Sound, The Declaration—were highlighted by Rhoda Isabella herself in a pre‑release announcement. These themes reflect her heart for worship that not only inspires but transforms.


A Leader, Visionary, and Creative Force

Beyond her vocal artistry, Rhoda Isabella is also the founder of RIM City Records, a label she launched with her brothers to champion Caribbean gospel excellence. Her entrepreneurial spirit, combined with her ministry focus, positions her as a leading voice shaping the next generation of worship in the region.


Impact and Legacy in Motion

With  Doxalogii, Vol. 1, Rhoda Isabella cements her place as one of the Caribbean’s most influential worship leaders. The album is not just a musical release it is a spiritual offering, a declaration of God’s sovereignty, and a bold step into a new dimension of ministry.

As her platform continues to expand globally, Rhoda Isabella remains anchored in her mission: to lead people into authentic encounters with God through worship, testimony, and sound.
