Award-winning Ghanaian gospel singer, Celestine Donkor has recounted some bad reception some gospel musicians receive from some churches.
Celestine Donkor says it is pure wickedness for churches to invite gospel musicians for programs without paying them.
Speaking on Rainbow Radio 87.5Fm, the VGMA awardee opined that although gospel musicians may not be able to charge for church events, the churches should not also take advantage of them.
She stressed that performing at these events comes with a cost since backing vocalists, bandsmen, and other supporting teams would have to be paid.
“It is pure wickedness not to bless a gospel singer after he or she performs at an event. It is against the will of God not to bless musicians who perform in churches. Even when we rehearse, we pay for the venue. We pay not less than GHc60 per hour for the venue. The team supporting me should also look good. And when you don’t recognize their efforts, they will not even pick your calls when you need them again. And so, when you don’t bless gospel singers, it is pure wickedness.”
