Felix De Solo reminds Christians to Magnify God in his new single
A Ghanaian talented bass guitarist, Felix De Solo now turned gospel artiste, is finally out with an official video release of his much awaited song ‘Be Magnified’.
The ‘Be Magnified’ track produced by Danny Sarp, carries an uplifting worship tune with simple verses and a hook, easy for all music lovers and worshippers to thank God at all times.
Felix De Solo whose real name is Felix Oppong Marfo is one the finest bass guitarists based in Kumasi, the Ashanti Regional capital.
He is a lead vocalist also of a well recognised gospel contemporary music choir in Ghana, Agape Incorporated.
In his new song ‘Be Magnified’, Felix De Solo expresses his profound gratitude to God as worthy of all adoration.
“Lord I exalt you Lord, Lord I Praise your name, Lord be magnified, Lord be magnified”, as a stanza of the chorus runs.
” Be Magnified” was first performed and recorded in 2018, but due to some constraints, Felix had to put it on hold till proper preparations were met before the official release, including the official video.
As to what inspired his writing of the song, this is what he shared with The Spectator, “I was inspired to make my Creator bigger and greater irrespective of the trials, troubles and the sorrows that come my way.
And I strongly believe that, after magnifying our Creator, we become better, stronger, and undefeated”.
The wait is now over and the song is finally released and enjoying massive airplay on various radio stations and other online musical platforms.
The song features George Agyekum, popularly known as Drum George Vicfirth, as the drummer behind the official recording, Sergio Manuel on the lead guitar, Osei Poku on the bass guitar and Efe Grace as the official back vocalist (BVs) of the song.
The official video production was by ‘Motion West Africa’ and ‘Built The King’.

In the ever-evolving journey of Ghanaian music, there are individuals whose contributions transcend the spotligh.
There are always men and women who work quietly yet powerfully to preserve culture, nurture legends, and keep the soul of the music alive across generations and borders.
One such figures is Jerry Amoah, widely known and affectionately called Nana Kobo.
This year, Ghana Music Awards-USA honours Jerry Amoah for his unwavering commitment to sustaining Ghanaian music, both at home and in the diaspora.
It is a recognition long deserved, a celebration of decades of passion, sacrifice, and cultural stewardship.
Jerry Amoah’s journey has never been about personal glory. Instead, it has been anchored in service: promoting Ghanaian sounds, advocating for artistes, and ensuring that the richness of Ghana’s musical heritage continues to resonate beyond national borders.
Through his tireless efforts, many Ghanaian musicians have found platforms, audiences, and renewed relevance, especially within Ghanaian communities abroad.
Central to his legacy is his steadfast support for gospel music and, in particular, his enduring association with legendary gospel icon Yaw Sarpong.
At times when gospel music needed champions, Jerry Amoah stood firm—protecting its values, amplifying its message, and honoring its pioneers. His respect for Yaw Sarpong is not merely professional; it reflects a deep appreciation for music as ministry, heritage, and moral compass.
Colleagues often describe Nana Kobo as a bridge—connecting generations, genres, and geographies.
He understands that Ghanaian music is not just entertainment, but identity. Through festivals, promotions, mentorship, and behind-the-scenes advocacy, he has helped ensure that Ghana’s rhythms, lyrics, and spiritual expressions remain relevant in a globalized world.
As Ghana Music Awards-USA prepares to bestow this honour, it is not simply recognizing one man—it is saluting a lifetime of dedication to culture, faith, and music.
Jerry Amoah’s story reminds us that true impact is measured not by applause, but by legacy.
And in the story of Ghanaian music, Nana Kobo’s legacy is written in bold, enduring notes.
