Gospel musician, Piesie Esther has recalled her past in a conversation where she stated clearly that she never knew she would become a music star.<\/p>\n

In an interview on Experiences in Life with actress Nayas, the \u2018Waye Me Yie\u2019 hitmaker said she was born into a very poor family.<\/p>\n

According to her, they could not afford clothes hence her parents, who were farmers, had to struggle before they could fend for her and her four siblings.<\/p>\n

Narrating further, Piesie Esther said life in Mampong Nsuta Atonso, where she hails from, became difficult to the extent that her father left home in search of greener pastures after he defaulted on a government loan he signed up for.<\/p>\n

She stated that for a long time, the family had not heard a word from her father until someone informed them that her dad was at Afram Plains \u2013 but things were worse for him there.<\/p>\n

Piesie Esther said that her mother then took care of the home alone. \u201cWe never got fresh clothes and it was difficult for us to get things we wanted. We were so poor, I won\u2019t lie about it, and it was very disgraceful\u2026We went through a lot in life.\u201d<\/p>\n
