The word of God gives me internal value – De Joe

Upcoming gospel artiste, Joseph-Dennis Niinoi Quarcoo, better known as De Joe, has indicated that what inspired him to sing gospel was the fact that his lifestyle was way below God’s purpose for him and felt really bad for not doing anything to help the house of God.”

According to him, upon realizing that he was leaving a wayward and unacceptable lifestyle in the sight of God, he prayed to be blessed with a gift and fortunately, as “I already love music and singing, that was the best to have happened to me.”

In an interview, De Joe noted that though he could have gained enough money for doing circular music, “I chose to do gospel because preaching the word of God through music gives me internal value and strength; after earth, everything will pass away except the word of God.”

He mentioned that his major challenges were financial constraints and not getting anybody to produce him, adding that one will always have to pay Djs before getting one’s song(s) aired which is also another huge task for up and coming artistes.

De Joe has two singles titled ‘Amazing’ and ‘Woye owura’ to his credit and had them launched and commissioned along with his music ministry dubbed ‘De Joe Bridge of hope.’
