Gospel musician, Akesse Brempong, has expressed excitement at the fortunes of the gospel music industry in Ghana.<\/p>\n

In a recent post on Facebook, he wrote that recent developments in the gospel music industry give him hope that there will soon be \u201ca phenomenal turn of events\u201d in their space.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cGhana\u2019s gospel music industry is on the verge of soaring! We are about to witness a phenomenal turn of events within our space,\u201d he stated.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to him, an admonition he made about 5 years ago on the need for churches to own record labels is gradually coming to fruition.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is in 2023 and the Ghanaian church has risen to the occasion. I\u2019m hearing about churches starting record labels and my heart leaps for joy. The Maker\u2019s House Chapel International, the International Central Gospel Church, the Keeper\u2019s House Chapel International and the Harvest Chapel International starting record labels, I believe, is a catalyst for the much needed growth we\u2019ve longed for.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a great time to be alive,\u201d he added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The banes of the gospel music industry in Ghana have been investment and a music business model that understands the operations of the gospel.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Some churches in other countries have led the pack with their own record labels. Christ Embassy in Nigeria has the Love World Records which has on its label, artistes such as Ada, Sinach, Frank Edwards, Buchi, among others.<\/p>\n

Elevation is owned by Elevation Church in United States of America.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The HillSong Church in Australia also has the HillSong label.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cGhana\u2019s gospel music industry is on the verge of soaring! We are about to witness a phenomenal turn of events within our space.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Back in 2018, I spoke about the involvement of \u201cthe church\u201d in the Ghanaian gospel music space. Since the church is the biggest consumer of gospel music and number one producer of gospel musicians, it was expedient the church superintendents over the production and promotion of the art form (music) and the welfare of the players (musicians) within the space.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Again, the church has the capacity to scale up things in terms of production and promotion of the art form (music) which is much needed in our space.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It is in 2023 and the Ghanaian church has risen to the occasion. I\u2019m hearing about churches starting record labels and my heart leaps for joy. The Maker\u2019s House Chapel International, the International Central Gospel Church, the Keeper\u2019s House Chapel International and the Harvest Chapel International starting record labels, I believe, is a catalyst for the much needed growth we\u2019ve longed for.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a great time to be alive.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Congratulations\u00a0to the churches on the turf. Let\u2019s play ball.\u201d<\/p>\n
