'I was born into sin - Gospel act shares his story in new song 'My Story'

Following his bonzer hit track, ‘Nyame Ye’ which wowed Ghanaians with its versatility and originality, afro Gospel musician,Joseph Matthew aka JM has decided to share the story of his glory with a new track titled, “My Story”.

The UK-based Ghanaian Gospel artist reveals in his “My Story” single that he was never born holy, but was born into sin and did not deserve the glory of God.

He is however awed by how far God has brought him. He said that if people knew where he had come from, then they would understand the story. “Don’t know nobody who deserves all the glory.

For all the things you’ve done for me, I give you the praise”, he said in gratitude to God. The song was Produced live by multiple award-winning drummer, Francis Osei.

Just like the song clip for “Nyame Ye”, JM does not fail to sweep us off our feet with the aesthetic artwork, scenery and choreography.

The video is dominantly dark themed, with two beautiful sceneries that are meant to coordinate the story appropriately. As a lover of the African vibe, he collaborates the contemporary melody with the “Zanku”, “Gbeze” and other popular afro beat dances.

JM, together with video vixens are dressed in stellar African wears. He is also seen holding a “Dondo” instrument.Even though he is UK- based,JM has proved to Ghanaians and the world that the African culture is worth portraying, even amidst contemporary melodies.

Shot in London by award-winning director Martin Sean, the ‘My Story’ music video is not a hype if we say it could win video of the year award in either at the 4Syte Music video awards or the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards.
