Isaac Nana Shoetan, popularly known as Papa Shoto from the well-known Ghanaian music duo Buk Bak, has made a remarkable comeback with his debut gospel song titled "Nyame Bi," accompanied by a captivating music video.
After a significant hiatus from the music scene, the Switzerland-based artist has embraced a new direction in his musical journey.
"Nyame Bi" centres around the wondrous works of God, emphasizing His miracles and divine interventions. The production credit for the song goes to 10minitz, who contributed their expertise to the project.
Reflecting on the inspiration behind "Nyame Bi," Papa Shoto said the song mystically came to him. Having faced numerous challenges in his life, including the loss of his brother three years ago, he found solace in his faith and sought a deeper connection with his Creator.
The song symbolizes his journey of resilience and personal growth. Drawing from his strong hip-hop background, Papa Shoto aimed to infuse a unique flavour into gospel music, recognizing a gap in the Ghanaian market for hip-hop gospel songs.
His musical journey began in 1994/1995 at De Youngsters Int School, before pursuing his senior high school education at Adisadel College.
The creative process behind "Nyame Bi" was spontaneous yet spiritually driven. Papa Shoto and his production team entered the studio and, within ten minutes, they found themselves immersed in crafting the song.
“I believe that divine intervention played a pivotal role in my song's creation. I hope that listeners will not only appreciate my music but also connect with my life experiences,” Papa Shoto said.
According to him, having overcome significant obstacles with God's guidance, he aims to instil hope and inspire others through his testimony.
Expressing his gratitude for the blessings in his life, recounting the losses he experienced, particularly the passing of his brother and bandmate Ronnie, Papa Shoto said it reminded him of the impermanence of life.
Additionally, in an interview with Adomonline,com, he emphasized the value of leaving behind a good name and legacy rather than focusing solely on material wealth.
“I want Nyame Bi to transcend the ordinary and deliver an authentic and relatable message as I firmly believe that if God can use my music to touch people's lives, it is a testament to the existence of an ever-present and ever-powerful God,” he said.
Collaborating with Adinkra on the track, Papa Shoto acknowledges his unwavering support and views his contribution as a genuine manifestation of God's work in people's lives.
