Ghanaian gospel musician, Pastor Nana Yaw Boakye, also known as MOGmusic, is now a member of the Recording Academy of the Grammy Awards.
MOGmusic becomes the first Ghanaian Gospel Artiste from Ghana to be admitted into the Recording Academy following the approval of his application by the Grammy Board.
Speaking on his admission into the Recording Academy membership, MOGmusic said he was elated at the news saying it is like a dream come true.
“This is the pinnacle every musician wishes to get to,” he said. “I am glad to be putting Ghana on the map once again.”
He further noted that his admission into the academy is motivation for him to do more as a
gospel musician.
The two-time VGMA Male Vocal Performance winner earlier this year took his music career to a whole new level when he launched his latest album titled, ‘Koinonia Phase II.’
The award winning, globally recognized gospel artiste’s album builds on the previous Koinonia Phase I album, launched last year which blessed the industry worldwide with hit songs like Grace, Mala, Your Presence, Almighty God, Choral Praise, Glory to the Lamb and There’s Power.
The new album boasts of eight songs with features from renowned gospel musician Pastor Donnie McClurkin, Pastor Kojo Frimpong, Ps Shadrack Mensah Kwesi, Joey Saff and Kobby Salm.
The songs include, Nyankopong, Glorious, Holy Chant, We Cry Yahweh ft. Pastor Kojo Frimpong, Be Lifted Medley ft. Donnie McClurkin, Covenant Keeper, Yesu ft. Joey Saff and Kobby Salm, and African Praise ft. Ps Shadrack Mensah Kwesi.
MOG has released a number of songs, including the award winning Be Lifted, Elohim, Living God, and many more.
In addition to being a singer and songwriter for the gospel music industry, MOG is also a pastor at the Royalhouse Chapel International and have won best male vocalist of the year at the VGMA twice in a row.
