Fast-rising Ghanaian urban gospel musician, Evans Scot has recounted how Grace has changed his destiny over time.
The musician gave this testimony at an exclusive listening session of his new AfroGospel EP dubbed, ‘Grace is Luxury’.
The EP made up of six songs namely, Holy Father, 100 Per Cent, Map3k3, Best Side, Pentecoast featuring MOG, and Aye featuring Perez, will be available for streaming after a release concert on November 18.
Speaking at the listening party which took place inside The Cosmopolitan at The Earl-beam Plaza, Dzorwulu in Accra, he said “I have experienced the Grace of God in my life, from my transition, I had a very bad start. Where I was born, bad, where I was raised, bad, where I came to school bad, from school to where I stayed, worse, I come from a small family where you don’t get to see what really is luxury in the lives of people.”
Recounting his story, he said at a point in his life, he stayed in Dodowa, moved to Koforidua, to Teshie, and finally to Tema.
According to the musician, through his personal journey, Grace has been sufficient, “when I look back, the kind of things I have been through and survived, it could have only been the Grace of God, people go through this same thing and are no more.”
Evans Scot further added that he has come to realise that the Grace he is experiencing goes beyond money, “because when I didn’t have money I was still surviving, this Grace goes beyond the flashy things, cars because when I didn’t have cars, Grace was there.”
“When I didn’t have someone to mentor me, guide me, to teach me to understand the things of life, Grace was there for me, ” he added
He said looking at the successes chalked, platforms he has graced, coupled with the impact he has made in the lives of others, it could only be by God’s Grace.
Evans Scot added that he loves to be consistent, conscious and deliberate, for this reason, wherever he has gotten to, took a lot of time and hard work.
He added that when he started making an impact with his earlier songs, people thought being consistent was going to be difficult; however, he has been able to stand the test of time with his sound.

Rising genre-bending artiste Sena Awudi has reached an inspiring new milestone, winning Emerging Act of the Year at the Ghana Music Awards USA.
The honour celebrates Sena’s remarkable growth, fearless creativity, and commitment to building a musical world that brings together sound, culture, storytelling, and striking visual expression.
From singles such as “Cocoa Skin,” “SoundCloud,” “Useless,” “Blame,” and “What U Mean,” every release has revealed a new chapter in her evolution as an artist.
For Sena, the award represents more than recognition—it is a powerful reminder that every dream begins with the courage to be seen and heard. It honours the long hours, difficult moments, creative risks, and unwavering belief that have shaped her journey.
The achievement arrives as Sena prepares to release her upcoming single, “Rewind.” Following Out of the Blue, the new song introduces the next era of AWUDI and signals an exciting step forward in her artistic journey.
Rooted in pop and R&B while drawing inspiration from Afrobeats and cultures around the world, Sena refuses to be confined by genre. She allows each song to become whatever it needs to be to tell its story honestly.
Beyond her own success, Sena hopes to use her music to connect people across cultures and make AWUDI a safe space where listeners can find comfort, confidence, freedom, and a sense of belonging.
Winning Emerging Act of the Year is not simply the celebration of how far Sena has come.
Industry watchers say it is the beginning of everything still ahead, a defining moment for an artist determined to tell meaningful stories, inspire others, and leave her mark on the global music landscape.
It was a night of intellect, eloquence and culture as contestants of the 2026 Miss Tourism Ghana took centre stage at the Coconut Grove Regency Hotel for the Debate and Culture Night last Saturday.
The event, which forms part of activities leading up to the grand finale, saw the ladies move beyond beauty to battle with ideas, facts and opinions on a topic critical to the tourism industry.
The contestants debated the topic: The Importance of Traditional and Digital Media on Promotion of Tourism.
For the debate, the contestants were grouped into two teams of four, each tasked with defending a side of the argument.
It was a fierce but respectful exchange. The team arguing for traditional media described it as the trust builder, emphasising its credibility, mass reach, and its power to tell in-depth, emotional stories through television documentaries, radio and newspaper features.
They argued that traditional media still shapes public opinion and influences policy decisions in the tourism sector.
On the other side, the proponents of digital media raised salient points about its unmatched advantages in the modern era.
They highlighted its global reach at low cost, its two-way interaction that allows tourists to share real experiences and reviews, its ability to target specific audiences, and its measurable results where clicks, views and bookings can be tracked.
After heated arguments and rebuttals, both teams arrived at a powerful consensus that drew applause from the audience.
They concluded that without traditional media, tourism promotion lacks credibility and depth, and without digital media, it lacks reach, engagement and sales.
The judges and patrons agreed that the debate underscored a crucial lesson for Ghana’s tourism drive: for a country blessed with rich cultural heritage, colourful festivals, historic forts and castles, diverse wildlife and pristine beaches, the winning formula lies in combining the storytelling power of traditional media with the viral power of digital media to attract both domestic and international tourists.
The night was not only about debate, as the contestants also dazzled in cultural wear, showcasing the beauty and diversity of Ghanaian culture.
