Award-winning gospel singer DSP Kofi Sarpong has added acting to his career aside being a musician and a senior Police Officer, says information reaching News-One.<\/p>\n

Mr. Sarpong has become the talk of town after he appeared in the hit TV series, \u2018Efia Schwarzenegger\u2019 show on TV3 every Saturday evening. Kofi Sarpong played the role of a Police Officer who was to arrest two ladies for car theft.<\/p>\n

News-One\u2019s checks from producers of the TV series show says that Kofi Sarpong would henceforth be a regular actor on the show because his debut has generated a huge sensation and increased the program\u2019s popularity.<\/p>\n

Delores Frempong Manso, aka Delay, producer of \u2018Efia Schwarzenegger\u2019, told News-one what the series is about: \u201cThe storyline basically is about a poor Ghanaian girl who just returned home from a foreign country and pretends to be a multi billionaire though she is a miserable pauper.\u201d \u201cIt is a combination of fiction and non-fiction and each episode has a complete story that can stand on its own, yet has been woven into the next episode.<\/p>\n

So when there is the role of a rich footballer, you have Nii Odartey Lamptey appearing and when there is the role of a broadcasts journalist, you have Fiifi Boafo. We also have a guest artiste every week and that is how come you have D-Crime, Nana Boro and several others appearing,\u201d Delay disclosed.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Kofi Sarpong has just returned to Ghana after a six-week tour of America and Norway with his \u2018Ayeyi Ndwom song that won Gospel Song of the year during the 2011 Ghana Music Awards. The Senior Police Officer turned gospel musician told News-One on arrival that he was overwhelmed at the extent to which the Ghanaian community in America had mastered his songs and could sing the tracks back to back.<\/p>\n

Kofi Sarpong said he first went to Norway and from there he flew to America where he performed at Maryland, Virginia and Massachusetts. \u201cThe Ghanaian community in Norway was not that huge but they were really many in America and they really embraced the song and I was shocked they knew the words and could sing it along. It is unfortunate that I could not honor all the invitations and there were many places I could not go to perform,\u201d Kofi Sarpong told News-One. News-One has gathered Kofi Sarpong would soon release an English version of the \u2018Ayeyi Ndwom\u2019 song as part of an album he is currently working on.<\/p>\n

The police chief-turned-gospel musician entered the music industry less than two years ago and rapidly climbed to fame. In 2010, he had three nominations at the Ghana Music Awards. Kofi Sarpong has explained that the album, produced by Ernest Keri Rennin of Media Excel Production, is a true reflection of his worshipping heart and desire for godliness.<\/p>\n

Presently, the inspirational singer\u2019s CDs have hit the streets and are selling like hot cake in Accra and other regional capitals. He was born into a family of Presbyterians and joined the Police Service 13 years ago. He is married to Mrs. Salomey Sarpong and they have two lovely kids.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
