I was part of the choir and was given a song and I did well. So I started leading a couple of songs and I became the music director at church\u2026 I still sing in church even after singing \u201cJennifer Lomotey\u201d because worshiping God is a relationship between you and the Supreme Being. Christianity is just a religion but the actual thing is your encounter with God.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In 2013, Kurl Songx came second in the Vodafone Icons music competition but said could not get the support he needed to push his music.<\/p>\n<p>In 2016, while in Takoradi in search of a job, he auditioned for the MTN Hitmaker and ended up winning the competition.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 57 updated by: 24 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment of Tuesday, 12 September 2017 Source: classfmonline.com 2017-09-12 Kurl songx &#13; Ghanaian musician, Kurl Songx, has disclosed he is a music director at his church [Grace \u2018Heflin\u2019 Church in Adabraka] despite releasing his hit song \u201cJennifer Lomotey\u201d which is considered secular in the Christian circles.
