Michael Kesse Frimpong, better known by his stage name Kesse, says he will no longer do secular songs.<\/p>\n

The musician, who has been praised for his soothing and touching highlife voice, said his will on earth is rather to do gospel songs. <\/p>\n

Speaking in an interview on Daybreak Hitz<\/strong> on Hitz FM<\/strong>, Kesse said he has finally discovered his fate and doing secular songs wasn\u2019t part of the deal. <\/p>\n

He told Andy Dosty that, \u201cI am no longer doing secular music because I have found myself, earlier, I was lost. Everyone has what they were called for and God chose me to do gospel this time,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

Explaining his cause, he said he has readied himself for those who would lambast him.<\/p>\n

He isn\u2019t the first secular musician to convert to doing gospel songs. Musicians Lord Kenya, Ofori Amponsah, Papa Shee and Yaw Siki among others have chosen the same fate of abandoning secular lifestyle for the gospel genre.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, Mr Amponsah couldn\u2019t stand the test of time and made a u-turn, explaining he did gospel songs out of frustration and depression. <\/p>\n

With Mr Frimpong, he says there is no going back.<\/p>\n

\u201cGod\u2019s calling is like a lightning and until it comes, you will never understand. Why is it that when someone decides to carry Jesus\u2019s Cross, the bash follows. I know people will bash me. If the devil knew he would kill Jesus for him to die for our sins, he wouldn\u2019t have done that. We just have to leave everything to God,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He disclosed that God had been calling him for years, but he was only being a stubborn child.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is God\u2019s calling. When the hands of the Lord is on you, no matter what you will be under his feet. My calling has been there, but I was disobeying. God speaks to us in dreams, by prophets and even friends\u2026 I decided physically and spiritually six months ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will never go back to my past life. I will not go back to slavery. Jesus should use me for what he wants,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n

He attained the limelight after winning the fourth season of TV3\u2019s \u2018Mentor.\u2019 He competed in Season 2 of \u2018Project Fame West Africa\u2019 and finished first runner-up to Chidinma.<\/p>\n

Mr Frimpong dropped his debut studio album dubbed \u2018The Prodigy\u2019 in 2012. It was graced by four singles: \u2018The Ugly Truth\u2019, \u2018The More I Cry\u2019, \u2018Superstar\u2019, and \u2018Treat Her Royal\u2019 featuring rapper Sarkodie.<\/p>\n
