Gospel musician Akesse Brempong says he wants to be remembered as the sweet psalmist of Ghana.
Like David, the psalmist of Israel is known for his melodious praise and worship.
Akesse Brempong sees himself just like the psalmist, as they both compose songs from the heart to magnify the name of the Lord.
Speaking to Amelley Djosu on Joy Prime’s Celeb Biz, the ‘God is working’ hitmaker indicated that he would love to have "Akesse Brempong, the sweet psalmist of Ghana" written on his tombstone.
“I’ve read about David, and it was said about him that he was the sweet psalmist of Israel, David the sweet psalmist of Israel. I think it’s a nice thing; I want to be remembered. On my tombstone, they write Akesse Brempong, the sweet psalmist of Ghana,” he stated.
The pastor hopes to impact many lives across the country and beyond, just as David in the Bible did.
The musician is worried about the fact that 70 percent of Ghanaians profess to be Christians, yet gospel musicians find it difficult to get support and sponsorships for their music and shows.
“The issue of sponsorship is crazy, especially in our part of the world. When we say Ghana is 70 percent Christian, I shudder at the thought because we can’t be living in a space where we are 70 percent Christian and corporates are operating within the space, which is 70 percent Christian, and they fail to support Christian events. I don’t know whether it’s Christians who are not rising up to the occasion and making demands because Ghanaian corporations, for some reason, don’t want to be associated with gospel music at all, but we are 70 percent Christians,” he said.
He is, however, urging corporate Ghana to contribute to the growth of the sector just as they do for other genres of the music industry.
Akesse Brempong’s latest album, “The Awakening,” is out streaming on all music platforms. Catch his newest melodies on YouTube, Apple Music, Spotify, Boomplay, or any other platform and enjoy the sweet psalms of Akesse Brempong.
