Taya Gaukrodger, renowned for her stirring rendition of the smash worship hit “Oceans” while with Hillsong, entered a new chapter on October 20th with the arrival of her son, Bo Benaiah Gaukrodger. Weighing a healthy 9 pounds and measuring 22.5 inches long, Bo entered the world at 8:15AM, bringing endless joy to Taya and husband Ben.
Taya’s iconic vocals on “Oceans,” which became a global anthem in Christian music, catapulted her into fame within worship circles worldwide. Now, as she transitions into motherhood, this beloved vocalist radiates the same sincere joy and praise she brought to stages and recordings.
In an Instagram post announcing Bo’s birth, Taya affectionately described him as having “big hands, big feet, and a good set of lungs.” Her words reveal a mother absolutely smitten with her newborn son. Taya and Ben intentionally chose a meaningful moniker for their little boy. Bo, meaning “go” or “come” in Hebrew, represents a powerful sense of direction and calling. His middle name Benaiah, meaning “Yahweh builds,” emphasizes a solid foundation of faith.
Expounding on Bo’s name, Taya explained, “In the Bible, names located and identified individuals while also powerfully speaking over them – both good and bad.” Her prayer is that her son’s name will bless him with divine guidance and purpose throughout his life’s journey.
Expressing profound gratitude for motherhood’s gifts, Taya acknowledged, “God has been beyond kind – Bo is such a joy-filled little boy.” She described her husband Ben as an “incredible Dad” and admitted she is “forever ruined in the best way.” Though undoubtedly facing sleepless nights with a newborn, this new mom radiates with joy.
In a heartfelt message to her baby boy, Taya concluded, “It is an honor to be your parents Bo, we love you beyond X.” As she embarks on her newest adventure in motherhood, this beloved “Oceans” singer begins the voyage with sincere praise and thankfulness in her heart.
