“This is a competitive group, therefore, I plead with the union to throw its support behind me to help me secure this position,” the official ambassador of Texas Gospel Music and Excellence Award for Africa, pleaded.
The aspiring Greater Accra Chairman said, during his tenure as the Deputy Director of Gospel Music, he managed to sign a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Ghana National Gospel Music Awards (NGMA) and Texas Gospel Music Excellence Awards (TGMEA) to have exchange programmes for the two groups.
“I have served on several awards boards around the globe, was part of the selection committee for Annual Antigua Barbuda Gospel Music and Media – Awards (ABGMA),” he stated.

He is the first African Gospel artiste to appear on the cover of the June 2022 edition of the official magazine for the Gospel Choice Music Awards, GCMA XChange.
Goldmann has also had many nominations in the USA and has been nominated twice for the Independent National Gospel Music Awards (INGOMA).

“This is a deal I have signed for 2 years and there are other artistes such as Detroit Youth Choir that has appeared on the American Got Talent Show,” he said.

“I was in the choir from then till 2000 when I produced my maiden album, ‘Captain Jesus’ which was launched three years later,” he recalled.
