Rising gospel musician, Afia Sika, has dedicated her maiden single dubbed “Yesu Asue Me” to legendary Ghanaian gospel music trio, Daughters of Glorious Jesus for discovering her.
Unveiling the song which came with an amazing music video, she said she owes her music career to the celebrated music trio.
Speaking to The Spectator, at her unveiling on Wednesday at Sunlodge Hotel at Tesano in Accra, she said her maiden single was dedicated to the trio because they had been there for her.
Afia Sika revealed to the paper that she was discovered by Daughters of Glorious Jesus at age 10, and they nurtured her to the extent of gracing numerous stages together with them.
“I have been with them since I was 10 years old, they saw me singing at a programme, and they discovered me and made me who I am today,” she said.
According to her, since then, they have become her backbone in the music industry and even helped in arrangement of the song, and directed her in many ways.
“When I was done with the song, I took it to Maa Cynthia to go through and direct me. I have learnt a lot in ministry from them and this is to say thank you,” she added.
Touching on the message in the song, she said it is to inspire children of God to be patient and prayerful in all their endeavours.
She added that there was an album in the pipeline, but before that she would release another single.
On their part, Daughters of Glorious Jesus who were at the unveiling blessed Afia Sika and urged Ghanaians to support her just as they have been doing for the group over the years.
“Afia Sika comes from the Double D2, that is the Daughter of Daughters of Glorious Jesus, we want everyone to support her and the Lord will bless you for the support,” they said.

Charman K makes strong fashion statement at TGMA26
Musician Sylvester Kwakye, widely known in showbiz circles as Chairman K, made a bold statement at the Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMAs 2025) with not only his commanding presence but his striking sense of fashion—heralding what appears to be a confident return to the music scene.
Clad in a sharp, dark blue tailored suit accentuated with elaborate gold embroidery along the shoulder and sleeve, Chairman K stood tall and proud against a vivid red backdrop.
The outfit, paired with a crisp white shirt, slim black tie, and a regal black traditional cap with gold designs, symbolized both cultural pride and personal reinvention. His look drew admiration, capturing the attention of many at the event for its blend of sophistication and identity.
Chairman K has been a notable figure in Ghana’s music industry since 1999. He shot to fame in 2003 with his nationwide hit “AIDS Aduro”, a song that resonated across communities for both its rhythm and message.
Over the years, he has collaborated with celebrated Ghanaian artistes such as Flowking Stone and Kwadwo Nkansah (LilWin).
However, the journey hasn’t always been smooth. Balancing academics and music proved challenging, prompting him to pause his music career to pursue higher education.
Chairman K is an alumnus of Osei Kyeretwie Senior High School (OKESS) and holds both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Mathematics Education.
Now, he returns to the limelight with new music, including “Wogye Wo Din” and the controversial “M3bo Wo Dua”, which sparked public debate and a fiery clash with outspoken entertainment critic Sally Mann.
Following Sally’s critique of his song recently, the musician, without equivocation, threatened to assault the critic, as he deemed the remarks as an attack on his career.
With plans to collaborate with artistes from Nigeria, Liberia, and South Africa, Chairman K’s resurgence signals not just a comeback, but a reinvention—and judging by both his style and energy, he’s back with a bang.
The 26th Telecel Ghana Music Awards was held at the Grand Arena on Saturday, May 10, 2025.
