Many musicians doing gospel music but are very carnal, Kaywa

CEO of Highly Spiritual Music, David Kojo Kyei, popularly known as Kaywa, says many musicians claim to be doing gospel music but are very carnal.

According to him, carnality and spirituality are enemies, of which God eschews the latter.

Speaking on the spirituality and music of Joy Prime’s Celeb Biz with Amelley Djosu, the renowned music producer raised thought-provoking questions about the state of gospel music in contemporary times.

"Carnality and spirituality are enemies. However, you can be very gospel-minded and still carnal. There are a lot of people doing 'in the name of gospel music but are very carnal," he expressed.

His observation brings to light a crucial debate in the world of gospel music. While gospel music is traditionally associated with spiritual and religious themes, Kaywa suggests that it is possible for musicians to label their work as gospel while not embodying the spiritual essence of the genre.

The pastor believes the distinction between secular and worldly music is essential. While secular music refers to non-religious music that covers a broad spectrum of themes, worldly music, as he points out, pertains to music that opposes the values and teachings of spirituality and morality.

The celebrated sound engineer emphasised that music does not necessarily have to be religious to be spiritually enriching. "You can write beautiful love songs that are very spirit-filled. Love songs can be spirit-filled,” he told Amelley Djosu.

Kaywa referenced the Song of Solomon in the Bible, known for its poetic and romantic content, as an example.

He believes that these verses were included for Christians to define what love songs should encompass, showing that not all music related to love or other worldly themes is inherently secular or "worldly."
