Alex Acheampong<\/strong><\/p>\n For a gospel musician to be actively involved in releasing hit songs for about three decades and not being properly recognised in any of the music award events is quite a strange occurrence.<\/p>\n But to legendary Ghanaian gospel musician, Alex Acheampong, that was never a concern, since he sees his music ministry as his part of the great commission.<\/p>\n \u201cI have always seen singing as an avenue to take part in the soul winning business for Christ,\u201d says Alex Acheampong.<\/p>\n According to the founder and leader of the Young Missionaries, one of the high points that encouraged him to do more for Christ was, when in 1996, his song, \u201cEmmanuel\u201d, took over the entire nation by storm, with countless number of testimonies, even till date.<\/p>\n In an exclusive interview with BEATWAVES, after winning two highly competitive awards at the recently held Ghana National Gospel Awards, the Energy Policy PhD holder admitted that indeed, it\u2019s his year of awards. Alex Acheampong won both Adventist Vibrant Artiste and Gospel Song of the Year (Diaspora) with the song, \u2018It Won\u2019t Be Long\u2019.<\/p>\n That not being enough, the father of two has had another three nominations, UK Based Gospel Artiste, UK Based Gospel Song (It Won\u2019t Be Long) and UK Best Video, in the yet to be held Ghana Awards, UK.<\/p>\n He hopes to win in this awards scheme too and dedicate it to God, his family, lovers of his music, his church, the Bohyen SDA, Ghana and Reading Ghana SDA Church, UK. Asked as how his fans could access his music, the prolific songwriter said his songs are on the online stores, his YouTube page, Alex Acheampong and his Facebook, Alex Acheampong .<\/p>\n The \u2018Aka Sima\u2019 hit singer says he\u2019s released a number of singles over the last few years, such as \u2018Ebabamu\u2019, \u2018It Won\u2019t Be Long\u2019, \u2018Nyame Aye Bi\u2019, \u2018Hu Me Mobo\u2019, \u2018AfaM\u2019ani So\u2019, \u2018Me Ko\u2019 and \u2018Yennfa\u2019, and is ever ready to minister on stages when invited.<\/p>\n He asked his fans to expect the release of more hit singles in the weeks ahead and to watch out for Ghana\u2019s edition of \u201cEmmanuel Praise\u201d, his annual UK concert.<\/p>\n \n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Alex Acheampong For a gospel musician to be actively involved in releasing hit songs for about three decades and not being properly recognised in any of the music award events is quite a strange occurrence.
