Don’t follow trends, focus on the word of God- Ivy Obeng tells gospel musicians
UK-based Ghanaian gospel musician, Victoria Ivy Obeng has admonished her fellow musicians to desist from building their career on trends, but rather focuse on spreading the word of God to the people.
According to her, spreading the word of God should be the ultimate aim as a gospel musician and nothing else.
Victoria Ivy Obeng said, too much glamour and fashion made gospel music lovers who were the consumers lose track of the word of God.
“The way clothes are changed in gospel music videos by Ghanaian artistes and the kind of clothes as well as glamour make it look like gospel musicians are more interested in showing off than focusing on the word of God,”she said.
She added that for a gospel music video, one could easily wear a single dress and shoot the video in the church or one place where attention will not be dedicated to luxury and unnecessary fashion, which confuse consumers.
“Someone might ask what is then the difference between the secular musicians and gospel musicians. Gospel musicians need to set good examples for the public,” she noted.
She encouraged her colleagues to always stress on the God factor and prayer in whatever they did in order to reach out to the lost souls and bring them to light.
Ivy is currently out with two songs, Let your presence fill here, and One touch.

Omar B Homage: Revenue from my rendition will go to his family – Kuami Eugene
Ghana’s finest, Kuami Eugene, has paid homage to late Togolese music legend Omar B, known in private life as Ahiangban Omar.
Kuami Eugene, in paying homage to the fallen legend, did a rendition of Omar B’s classic hit song, “Awoo Mawugné.”
According to Kuami Eugene, a friend introduced Omar B’s songs to him, due to their creative semblance of ability to write, sing and produce.
Against this backdrop, Kuami Eugene began to enquire about Omar B and realised he died at a point his career was thriving leaving behind a young family.
Consequently, Kuami Eugene decided to go ahead with a rendition of his “Awoo mawugné” song, which has been on his heart and donate the revenue accrued to Omar B’s family.
“After I got the translation of the song from some friends, I realised he had put together some powerful lyrics, so I decided to do a rendition in his honour,” he said.
The Rockstar further revealed that, “This is not for profit. It’s purely out of love and respect. I have no intention of exploiting this work. All revenues generated from this upload will go directly to Omar B’s family.”
For this reason, it is Kuami Eugene’s prayer that the song generates a lot of views and money for the family of the late Omar B.
Due to his ingenuity coupled with his meteoric rise, Omar B became a role model and an inspiration to Togo’s young talents.
While a third album, dubbed ‘Me, Myself and I’, was released in 2019, Omar B died suddenly at the age of 35 on February 20, 2020, following a heart attack.
