Gospel musicians called for respect and dignity

One of Ghana’s promising gospel musicians and students of University of Ghana, Legon, Willie and Mike are set to stun the gospel scene after their sterling performance in their debut album-Me Mpene a compilation of 8-track album composed by Williams Asamoah and Michael Adomako. The duo has called on the media both print and electronic to stop taking hard stand on Gospel musicians but rather accord them the necessary respect and dignity.

“Any time we hear a gospel musicians being lambasted we feel bad and ashamed of our profession” they said and asked “Why is it that you don’t normally hear Hip lifers being chastised like you do to Gospel musicians? Look at how the media has taken stand on the Esther Smith’s marriage saga, it is very disheartening” they claimed.

Willie and Mike who will be launching their latest album come June 22nd, in Kumasi also took the opportunity to appeal to their colleagues, to be circumspect in the way they put information in the public domain or the media. “It is not good we wash our dirty linen in public. The best we can do is to continue praying and ask God to always intervene on our behalf” they pleaded.

It is a great delight to listen to these young chaps singing purely gospel hits with melody. Their emergence has become possible because of the tenderly and patient they exhibited during their time with their church. These young men were given the rudiments of music right from their cradle to their teenage period releasing hit after hits.

They were opposed to the  negative propaganda currently going on in the media as if  gospel musicians are angel and untouchable so anytime some thing crops up it is treated as if a major crime has been committed yet the same or even bigger offence would be committed by our secular brothers yet it is swept under the carpet. “We are not calling for any special dispensation but no, but we should accord the necessary respect” they concluded.
