Scott Evans opens up on Ghana gospel music space
Urban gospel artiste Scott Evans Obu, who is known in showbiz circles as Scott Evans, has opened up about his love for the industry and future of his ministry. According to him, the industry has thrived in recent times partly due to the quality of artistes and their works, stressing that with the needed support, it would be bigger and get better.
His comments came on the back of recent pressures brought on musicians by critics to create hit songs for the industry. “I don’t envy the secular space at all; I appreciate the effort the gospel artistes are putting in. I would not trade that opportunity for anything,” he told The Spectator Agoro.
“The urban gospel music genre has won many souls because the youth are able to vibe along, and I am fulfilled my songs are able to win souls for Christ,” he added.
The ‘Ma pe ke’ hit maker also said he was not under any pressure to be releasing hit songs, adding that “I’m just serving a King (God) and I’m relaying His message to the people. My focus is to make sure the song gets to people who need His word.”
Scott Evans started his musical career in 2015. Since then, he has released songs like ‘Holding On’, ‘Good God’, ‘Ready’ and ‘100 per cent’. Evans is widely praised for pushing the boundaries of gospel music in Ghana, using relevant themes and modern sounds to connect with a younger generation.
