Create avenues for young creatives …Michael Okyere to stakeholders
Michael Okyere
The United Kingdom (UK)-based Ghanaian gospel musician, Michael Okyere has called on stakeholders in the creative arts industry to create avenues for young creatives to be exposed to greater audiences.
According to him, it is not easy for musicians to penetrate the mainstream industry without a familiar person assisting them.
Speaking in an interview with The Spectator Agoro in Accra, the ‘Aseda’ hitmaker indicated that young creatives needed rooms to enjoy some mileage, thus stakeholders should facilitate the process for them.
He observed that there were lots of things to be done in the industry to ensure the welfare of musicians.
Touching on his music, Michael Okyere stated that he had the divine calling to preach God’s word through music and all his songs were inspirational and could heal and motivate the downtrodden.
“As someone who loves the things of God and music, it’s quite easy to combine both into a craft that many can appreciate. Music has always been a calling so professionally, I’m just following what my heart desires,” he added.
Michael Okyere has released a new song ‘Adepa’ to talk about how precious God is and why he is a great prize to own.
He urged Ghanaians and music lovers to stream the songs on all digital platforms.

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.
