MaAkua Fosua
USA-based Ghanaian gospel musician MaAkua Fosua has released her debut single, ‘Victory Is Mine’.
The uplifting song portrays her life’s journey, highlighting her encounters and the transformative power of God that has eradicated her shame and granted her triumph.
Having started her musical career as a secular musician, MaAkua Fosua shared that her spiritual experiences with the Holy Spirit redirected her path towards gospel music.
Reflecting on her musical journey, she said, “While I always felt called to serve God through music, it was only when I had a personal encounter with the Holy Spirit that my understanding of God’s work took shape.”
MaAkua Fosua recounted moments of despair in her past, but she emphasised how God intervened and moulded her into a resilient woman who overcame various challenges and life experiences.
As she candidly revealed, being a secular musician often demanded compromising situations, such as being expected to expose private body parts and perform provocative dances for attention.
Nevertheless,”Through God’s grace, I have now fully committed myself to spreading the gospel of Christ Jesus.”
‘Victory is Mine’ which serves as an inspirational anthem for all music lovers is available on popular music platforms like Audiomack, Boomplay, and other digital music stores.

Legendary Ghanaian gospel musician and founder of the Asomafo gospel group, Yaw Sarpong, is reporteddead.
The 66 year old gospel artiste is said to have died at the Emena Hospital in Kumasi on January 20, where he was receiving medical treatment.

Yaw Sarpong is widely credited as a pioneer of contemporary Akan gospel music.
Through Yaw Sarpong and Asomafo, he introduced a distinctive sound marked by rich harmonies, disciplined arrangements and lyrics firmly grounded in Christian teachings.
His leadership and musical direction helped shape the identity of gospel music in Ghana for decades.
Some popular tunes by the group includes ‘Wo Haw Ne Sen’, ‘Tie Obiaa’, ‘Aduro Yesu’ and ‘Awurade Kasa’, tracks that continue to feature prominently in churches and Christian gatherings across the country.
Yaw Sarpong’s death comes barely some weeks after the passing of Maame Tiwa, a key pillar of the Yaw Sarpong’s Asomafo music group.
