PO Godson came on with full Gospel Rap lyricism and Minister Paulo elevated the atmosphere of worship with his powerful ministration, and Team Eternity, the hitmakers behind “Defe Defe”, crowned the event with a captivating time of worship, leading everyone into a blissful encounter in God’s presence.

The platform’s cutting-edge features include exclusive content, early access to new releases, seamless music search and discovery, personalised playlists, and social media integration.
Speaking at the launch, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, Ghana’s Vice President, said, “With our music, we are building a legacy which requires tools and platforms to ensure our artistes and all those who contribute to this vibrant industry receive their due recognition, compensation and rightful place on the global stage.
“We’re in a digital revolution and it is very important we use the tools offered by the digital age to monetise our talents in the Ghanaian music industry. The value of the global economy is in digitalisation and when we say we need to promote our talent, then we need to go digital as that is where the money is.
We need the GMX streaming app for the local empowerment of our industry. If you look at the digital revolution in the world, you’re either a developer of apps or a user. The developers are those who make money and the users pay. So, it is very important to have local ownership of these apps.

“In Ghana, music is our heartbeat, a channel through which we express our story, tradition and help unite communities. As we launch GMX, it is a celebration of our media heritage and the showcasing of our range of artistes,” he said.
This (GMX) aligns perfectly with the government’s mission to advance the creative arts space. Platforms like GMX will allow us to showcase our culture to the world and contribute significantly to tourism,” he added.
