Bro Philemon hints at comeback to Ghana’s gospel music scene
Award-winning gospel singer, songwriter, and composer Bro Philemon, known in real life as Ishmael Philemon Ackon, who hails from Takoradi and currently based in China, has finally broken his silence after an extended period of low visibility in the gospel music scene.
Known for his powerful vocals and spirit-filled songs, Bro Philemon had fans wondering about his whereabouts and whether he had stepped away from music entirely.
In recent years, whispers have circulated in the gospel community that Bro Philemon has been collaborating behind the scenes with a few international artistes from the USA, UK, and the Philippines.
He has now come out to reassure fans that he’s still very much rooted in his calling, and ready to return stronger than ever.
With renewed focus and a heart full of worship, Bro Philemon is preparing to bless the gospel world again.
“I’ve been occupied with my business, which admittedly took me away from the music scene for a while. But I’m back, and I’ve got loads of beautiful, soul-soothing music ready for everyone,” Bro Philemon explained.
Outside of music, Bro Philemon is a successful entrepreneur, serving as the CEO of P&D MPC HK CO., Limited in Hong Kong and Philemon’s Supply Management SZ Co. Limited in Shenzhen, China.
He is known for songs like It Is Well, All The Glory, Me Da W’ase (Thank You), Sweetest Name (ft. the legendary Mrs Amy Newman), and Fill Me Up.
In his final words, he said, “It’s not about doing everything at once, but doing everything with purpose.”
Bro Philemon was one of the first Ghanaian gospel artistes to win at the maiden edition of the All Africa Music Awards (AFRIMA) held in Nigeria in 2014.
He has also been honoured at the Africa Gospel Music Awards UK (2014) and the Shine Awards (2018) as a Foreign-based Ghanaian artist.
