MOGmusic: America is the biggest music market and I’m ready to share my “connections
In a recent interview on Daybreak Hitz, the ‘Be Lifted’ hitmaker, who is making good strides outside the country, mentioned that Ghanaian music needs to flourish internationally
By virtue of his collaboration with famous American singer Donnie McClurkin on Be Lifted, MOGmusic has earned some recognition in USA and he says he is ready to help other gospel musicians make the mark with their connections.
In a recent interview on Daybreak Hitz, the ‘Be Lifted’ hitmaker, who is making good strides outside the country, mentioned that Ghanaian music needs to flourish internationally.
“America is the highest pinnacle of marketing when it comes to music and I think it will be a great thing to have a Ghanaian on that turf and also pull some Ghanaians along and get them in there to let the world know the quality of music we have here in Ghana,” he said.
In the interview, he also narrated the story of how he met American gospel icon Donnie McClurkin and the impact the relationship has had on his career globally, especially in the USA.
“He has connected me to Cece Winans, Israel Houghton, the Winans Brothers, and Phill Thompson. That man has been a blessing to me. It cost me an arm and a leg to bring him but what he has given me in return is priceless.”
MOGmusic, who successfully held the tenth edition of the New Wine concert at the Oil Dome, Accra on Sunday, says he has started a record label where he will be signing some young gospel musicians.
“I just started a record label called Levites Records and I want to sign some of the up-and-coming gospel musicians. I want Ghanaian gospel musicians to grow.
“I think we have what the world should hear. I want to share my connections calculatedly so that nobody will come and pour sand into my gari,” he stated.
