Budding Ghanaian musician, Lesléy, has expressed his determination to hoist the flag of Ghana high in his music career.
According to the German-born Ghanaian singer formerly known as
Kevin Pfeifer, doing music to the top level is his target, and that whatever he is doing will not be a nine-day wonder.
Lesley made this statement during a private listening to his Good Things Take Time EP which was released on February 25, 2022.
According to him the title of the EP was inspired by his belief that one day his hard work would pay off, “It is just a matter of time, good things take time.”
The “Ohemaa” crooner said, the journey since 2018 had not been easy, but he and his team were confident that whatever they had put in place would produce positive results.
“I am here to stay and I know I will get there, this period about my life is just coping, and at the right time, the world will hear of me,” he said.
The EP made up of five songs, Spiritual, Maybe, Gone, Touch You, Good and Things Take Time, tell stories about love, life, a look into the past among others.
The EP which comes with a music video for Spiritual is a available on all digital music stores.

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.
