To ensure a perfect blend, Team Eternity, Soul Winners, Band Fra, Gwendolyn Sackey and Alexandrah Aboagye would reinforce the line-up.
According to the organisers, there is a surprise female artiste who would be announced at a later date.
Ghana’s Praiz Experience, which is the maiden edition, is slated for November 3, 2024 at the Royal House Chapel, Oil Dome.
Speaking at the launch which took place on Wednesday, October 2, 2024, Pastor Kofy said after some challenges, he got a strong conviction to organise this event to touch lives.
Against this backdrop, he reached out to some of his colleagues who accepted to be a blessing unto the patrons.

Osanju is dead
Popular Ghanaian content creator, Elvis Frimpong, known in showbiz circles as Osanju has been reported dead.
According to sources, he was said to have died in the early hours on Monday, September 1, 2025 after a long battle with blood cancer (Leukemia)
His death has been a shock in the Ghanaian community especially coming shortly after his last post.
His demise comes five months after he had laid his mother, Amounu, also a tiktoker, to rest, having lost her in January.
Hours before his passing, he had posted a video on Sunday with friends watching the Barcelona vs. Rayo Vallecano match, prompting many fans to initially dismiss the reports as a hoax.
Osanju’s death has been described as a huge loss by followers who admired his openness, resilience and positive outlook in the face of ill health.
However, Osanju had previously shared his battle with leukemia, a cancer of the blood, on his TikTok account, even eerily predicting his own demise on a couple of occasions.
