Cina Soul may have discovered her voice in the church choir as a child, but today she deliberately avoids singing during church services.
The singer says her decision is not about declining invitations, because those come often, but rather a personal spiritual conviction.
Speaking in an interview with Nana Romeo on Okay FM, she explained that nearly every congregation she has visited has urged her to sing. Still, she has consistently declined.
“I don’t sing in church and it’s not because I have not been asked to sing. Every church I go or every church family I make, they want me to sing in church but I’d rather not for spiritual reasons. Yeah, personal spiritual reasons.
“Even when I was younger, I was in the choir and all that. Yes, but it’s not about it not going well. No, it’s just a personal spiritual reason,” she explained.

Cina Soul noted that her reluctance is not tied to negative experiences in her past. Instead, it reflects a spiritual choice she prefers to keep private.
Asked whether she considers herself a secular or gospel act, the singer rejected both labels. For her, music is a vessel to communicate whatever message God places in her heart—whether that’s love, faith, or life’s struggles.
“Whatever message that comes to me…because my album, I speak about God in it. I speak about love, I speak about life, about struggle. So, me personally, I just listen to what God gives me. I have songs that are gospel that I know I have not put them out. I can write everything that comes to me,” she shared.
Though she admits to having gospel songs written, they remain unreleased, waiting for the right moment.
