Gospel musician Ohemaa Mercy says she is not in the industry to make money but to impact lives.
She said her vision for entering the music industry was to deliver a message that will impact positively on people to enjoy the blessings that come with it, not necessarily make money.
Ohemaa Mercy explained that the blessings from the impactful songs account for her relevance in the industry for years and advised the young ones to lean on God and look forward to making good music.
“If you are coming into the industry, for me up till now, the money should not be the focus. The most important thing is to come out with messages that will impact people's lives; that is where the blessings come from,” she stated.
The ‘Ote Me Mu’ hitmaker said she had been gifted a car and two houses after her ministration had opened doors for others and reiterated that this should be the main focus of doing gospel music.
Speaking with Rosslyn Felli on Prime Morning, she added that she had sung and ministered on several platforms for free due to her passion for serving God, which has brought many blessings to her in return.
Sharing insight into her career and personality, Ohemaa Mercy added that she mostly pours out her challenges to God in prayer because of her absolute belief in God and sometimes cries because it helps her overcome inner pain.
Touching on the just-ended 23rd VGMA, she said winning the gospel song of the year with ‘Ote Me Mu’ was not supposing because God gave her that song for a purpose.
Also, lots of prayers went into the making for it to serve its purpose, which accounts for the numerous testimonies surrounding the song and commended Kwabena Kwabena's effort in writing and organising the lyrics.
On her performance at the night, she indicated the fantastic performance was to add variety to previous ones and also praised MOG for his creativity.
