Lydie Koffi Omesiete

Born in the Ivory Coast, Lydie Koffi Omesiete has always had a strong connection to music. She comes from a family of singers and musicians, so it was only natural that she would fall in love with music as well. She first discovered her talent for singing at the age of seven, when her father encouraged her to sing a solo at church.

Lydie received both a B.A. degree in Vocal Performance and a Master of Arts in Teaching in Music Education degree at Piedmont University. She has experience as a middle school and high school chorus and drama teacher, helping young people discover their full potential in music and the performing arts.  Currently, Lydie is the choral music director at her church.  She and her husband, Dr. Wilson Omesiete, have a beautiful daughter, Gabrielle.

Lydie cherishes singing at church, and she aspires to help others find comfort and peace through worship music.  Lydie's rendition of  "Love Lifts Me Up High," was recorded in July 2018, and is a song of peace and love. It was one of the ten finalist songs in the 2018 Tipperary International Song of Peace Contest.  

Lydie is the solo artist on the album, What's Next? (2016), and is a featured artist on two additional albums: Lift Your Heart (2021) and Memories of Christmas (2022).
