12-year-old Ghanaian singer ChayilMuzik releases debut Christmas single 'Joy of the Bells'

Ghana’s rising young music sensation, Chayil Minhyira Morrison, known professionally as ChayilMuzik, has released her debut single, “Joy of the Bells,” an Afro-inspired Christmas song designed to usher families into the warmth and celebration of the festive season.

The new release follows the incredible attention Chayil has received online for her soul-stirring covers, including “Gyatabruwa,” “Lean on Me,” Westlife’s “You Raise Me Up,” Gramps Morgan’s “People Like You,” and her widely loved Easter Medley. These performances earned her a fast-growing audience and positioned her as one of the most promising young voices in Ghana’s music space.

With “Joy of the Bells,” the 12-year-old steps confidently into a new phase of her artistry. The song blends the familiar essence of classic Christmas carols with vibrant Afro rhythms, creating a joyful sound that appeals to both children and adults. It captures the laughter, warmth, anticipation, and magic that define the Christmas season.

Beyond her musical gifts, Chayil made national headlines during Ghana’s 2024 elections through her patriotic project, “The Sound of Unity.” She used her voice to champion peace among the youth, collaborated with key national institutions, and promoted harmony before, during, and after the elections—a contribution that earned admiration across the country.

Now, with “Joy of the Bells,” Chayil shifts her message to something lighter and festive—joy, dance, family, and togetherness. The single is crafted for homes, churches, schools, concerts, and every space where Christmas cheer is welcomed.

At just 12 years old, ChayilMuzik continues to show discipline, creativity, and purpose far beyond her years. With more projects on the way, she is steadily establishing herself as one of Ghana’s brightest young voices to watch.

“Joy of the Bells” is out now and available on YouTube and all major streaming platforms.
