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.

Organisers of Rhythms On Da Runway have announced November 28, 2026 as the date for the 16th edition of the event, to be held at the Palms Convention Centre.
This year’s edition, themed: ‘UNBOUND: Because You’ve Got Style’, is focused on breaking barriers in fashion and creating space for all.
According to the Chief Executive Officer of Nineteen57 Events, Shirley Emma Tibilla, affectionately called Cookie Tee, the focus of this edition is to give everyone an opportunity to express themselves without barriers.
She told The Spectator that as a leading fashion brand in the country and beyond, they want to open doors for people regardless of their colour, size and abilities among others.
Described by the BBC as “the biggest cultural exposé in Africa,” Rhythms On Da Runway returns this year as a celebration of fashion, music and individual expression without limits.
Organisers say for years fashion has been shaped by narrow ideas of who belongs on the runway, with certain body types, ages and abilities placed at the centre while many others are left out. UNBOUND seeks to open that picture.
This year’s runway will welcome people with different abilities, backgrounds, body types and personal stories. The theme will influence model casting, the collections, the stories told through the clothes and the way guests experience the event.
Beyond the runway, ‘Unbound’ will create room for young people to learn from established designers, gain practical experience and explore careers within fashion and the wider creative industry.
It will also open conversations around adaptive fashion, accessible event design, talent discovery, mentorship and employment.
The 2026 edition will bring together fashion designers and music stars from Ghana and across the African diaspora, with strong collections, live performances and an all-star cast of celebrity models.
The event will also feature the Black Star Awards, which will honour public figures shaping Africa’s future through leadership and contributions to the continent’s Orange Economy.
Organisers say the list of participating designers, performing artists, award recipients and other event details will be announced in the coming weeks.

Veteran Ghanaian gospel musician Bernice Offei has passed on Saturday August 12, 2026.
She was 63.
The news of her demise flashed through social media on Saturday, prompting an outpouring of grief from musicians, fans and members of the Christian community, who have since paid tribute to her distinguished career.
She gained strong reputation as a singer, songwriter and minister whose music transcended generations.
Some of her popular songs include ‘Kaa She Gbeyei,’ ‘It’s By Grace,’ ‘Nyame Kokroko’ and ‘N’adom Ara Kwa.’
Her contribution to the growth of gospel music in Ghana was recognised in 2009 when she won the Best Female Vocal Performance and Songwriter of the Year awards at the Ghana Music Awards, now known as the Telecel Ghana Music Awards.
Beyond music, Mrs Offei distinguished herself in academia and professional life. She attended Achimota School before earning an MPhil in Crop Science from the University of Ghana and a Master’s Degree in Information Technology from University College London in the United Kingdom.
Mrs Offei was married to Prof. Samuel Kwame Offei, a former Pro-Vice Chancellor of the University of Ghana, and the couple had two children.
Her death comes days after she was reported missing but was later found safe.
Mrs Offei leaves behind a rich music legacy that continues to inspire faith, hope and resilience among generations of listeners. -GNA
