Boye has developed an impressive following through live concerts, numerous albums and YouTube videos. His combined YouTube views are more than 100 million.

On that song, he is joined by the One Voice Children’s Choir, and it is frequently listed as one of the best versions of the classic song. He is a prolific composer and known for taking popular songs and “Africanizing” them with African rhythms, voices, and instruments. His songs “Paradise,” “Happy,” and “Royals” are popular examples. Boye is a master at collaboration. In addition to singing with the One Voice Children’s Choir, he has performed with George Michael, Olivia Newton John, MC Hammer, The Piano Guys, and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. The One Voice Children’s Choir received national exposure over the summer as quarter-finalists on the NBC hit show, America’s Got Talent. They perform dozens of times each year throughout the nation. The choir has also received numerous awards, including the prestigious John Lennon International Music Award, presented by Yoko Ono and George Martin, producer of the Beatles.
