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.

Kwame Nsiah Apau, widely known as Okyeame Kwame, and the Rap Dacta, celebrated his 50th birthday with the release of a rhythmic reggae tune titled “Clap.”
The song shines a spotlight on applauding those making remarkable contributions to society and encourages people to celebrate the successes of their friends and family.
Just a week after its release, “Clap” has garnered widespread positive reactions from influencers across Ghana, Jamaica, America, South Africa, and other parts of the world.
In one of the reaction videos shared by Okyeame Kwame, renowned entrepreneur and philanthropist Richard Nii Armah Quaye, aka RNAQ, expressed his admiration, saying, “Love this song and the lyrics. I want to support its promotion with GHC 100,000. Well done.”
Okyeame Kwame, who had previously promised to build a Paediatric Emergency Ward at Manhyia Hospital in Kumasi before his birthday, would certainly benefit from this generous support for such a meaningful project.
His 50th birthday celebration was a successful all-white event held at +233 Pub and Grill, featuring amazing performances that added to the memorable occasion.
