Stella Addo Makes Impact With Her Maiden Album

Gospel music in Ghana is not like the way it is used to be some years back. It has changed from the conventionalised representation which has become monotonous to music lovers.

One of the female gospel musicians who has broken the stereotype gospel music trend is Stella Addo, whose maiden album, Champion Jesus, was released not too long ago. Her magic voice, instrumentation, programming and general music flow is par excellence.

Under the Kaakyire Music Production, producers of this album, assisted by Kwame Mickey the youngest music producer, Stella Addo must be comfortable under the wings of these very good producers.

The title track on her eight-track album, ?Champion Jesus?, sets the tone. ?Empare Me (Praises)? pours out God?s support all the time, and the musical display on this track, is commendable. ?Danase Ma Me?, apart form its appeal in terms of lyrics, has good beats designed to drag listeners to the dance floor to praise their maker.

Other lovely tracks on the album include ?Emma Mani Nwu?, ?Hu Memmobo?, ?Me Wo Obatan?, ?Me Da Wa?se?, as well as ?Onam Kwan Kroso.?

Stella Addo was born on September 5, 1980, to Mr Abraham Addo and Mrs Elizabeth Addo at Kaasi in Ashanti. She had her primary education at Kings International School, where she got hooked onto music at the age of six. She had her secondary education at Yaa Asantewaa Girls? both in Kumasi.

After completing her secondary education in 2000, she gained admission to Takoradi Polytechnic, where she is currently studying Electrical (Tech Part One).

Talking about how she got interested in music, Stella explained that it is innate. According to her, when she started exhibiting her talent, she was greatly encouraged and that has kept her going till now. No wonder she says, ?I am ready to face the challenges ahead"

When it comes to creativity, she is one of the best. She can be described as young, energetic, and enterprising musician, whose music has been appreciated and admired by all. When one listens to her songs, one would think she has been in the business for a long time.

The album has brought Stella into the limelight, and she has featured on several shows. She, like other gospel artistes, enjoy, every bit of whatever she does.

Her songs have everything to keep hopes alive and high in all, especially the broken-hearted. With the rich voice and sweet backing vocals, she goes all-out to praise her Maker, and encourage the down hearted.
