Promote decency through music …Nana Serwaa admonishes musicians
• Nana Serwaa Yeboah
Gospel Musician Nana Serwaa Yeboah has admonished singers in Ghana to promote decency in their craft.
According to the fast-rising singer, many youngsters easily idolize entertainers they see on television, so gospel musicians must ensure they do not present themselves in a manner which does not please God.
Nana Serwaa gave the advice in an interview with The Spectator following the release of her latest single titled, “I’m grateful.”
The new track, she said touches on the relevance of being appreciative of the blessings of God, adding that she got the inspiration to compose it because God had been very merciful to her and her loved ones.
“God has brought salvation to my home and because I am a musician sometimes when I want to praise him I put the words into writing and compose a song out of it. My God is worthy of my praise and as long as I have breath I will keep offering him the fruit of my lips,” she added.
The Musician cum evangelist revealed she currently had five songs to her credit which have been titled “medawase”, “wa y3 bi da”, “Mi hia wo”, “Ye twiri no” and her latest track “I’m grateful.”
She also stated that plans were far advanced to launch her maiden album, calling on individuals and organisations to also support rising musicians as artistes also contributed significantly to the sustenance of the creative arts industry of the country while promoting morality among their fans.
The singer, who is also a marketer advised the youth to desist from living sinful lives and called on the media to reduce the promotion of contents that corrupt good manners.

Ghanaian rapper Medikal has praised fellow musician Black Sherif for winning the Artist of the Year award at the Telecel Ghana music awards, describing the recognition as well deserved.
Speaking on Onua Showtime on Sunday, Medikal explained that Black Sherif’s music reflects struggle, hard work and street life, which many people can relate to.
According to him, Black Sherif, popularly known as “Blacko,” earned the award because his songs connect strongly with the public.
“Obviously, if you listen to Blacko’s songs from day one, you will see that the content and lyrics are all about struggle and making it in life,” he stated.
He noted that Black Sherif’s journey from the streets to success makes his achievement inspiring to many young people.
Medikal added that he would have been happy if he had won the award himself, but he was equally happy for Black Sherif because he deserved it.
The rapper explained that his reaction during the awards event, where he nodded and applauded after the announcement, was a genuine show of support for his colleague.
He stressed that popular street songs often influence major award decisions, especially when people from different backgrounds sing and embrace the music.
According to him, Black Sherif’s hit songs became widely accepted by children, adults and even people at social gatherings and funerals, showing the level of influence he has gained.
“The street controls the song,” Medikal remarked, adding that an artiste who dominates the streets has a strong chance of winning major awards.
He further noted that he was not surprised by Black Sherif’s victory because every category Medikal himself was nominated in was highly competitive.
