Gift Ugochi Christopher, professionally known by his stage name Minister GUC, is a Nigerian gospel singer and songwriter. Minister GUC was born on October 8, in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria.

He lived and grew up in Port Harcourt where he also learned how to speak Ikwerre Igbo. While growing up, he lost both parents and had to do menial jobs like selling water & driving trucks in order to make ends meet. With a vision to spark a revival through music, GUC started his music career in the city of Port Harcourt in 2013 and on the 1st of January, 2014, he released his first official single ‘I Believe‘.

With sheer determination, zeal, and passion, he pushed his music career independently up until November 2019 when he got signed to Eezee Conceptz, one of the top Nigerian gospel record labels. The record label boss, Ezekiel Onyedikachukwu Thankgod  welcomed him to the label with a brand new car after which he was prayed for and blessed by the label boss, Chioma Jesus, and other artists at the label including Mercy Chinwo, Toby Godwin & Judikay.

Prior to his record deal with Eezee Conceptz, GUC had worked with other Nigerian gospel artists like Ijay, Sammy Hart, Baruch Okeoghene amongst others.
