Ritaqueen, health worker, has chosen to heal people by preaching of the word of God through music.

Born Rita Nkansah appreciates the important role medicine plays in healing the sick but as a gospel musician, she knows words are equally powerful for the well-being of individuals.

The native of Akim-Oda in the Eastern region, started out as a gospel musician first before ending up as a health worker but has been able to combine the two because to her, they are all forms of healing.

“Personally, I think that being a health worker and a musician have a similar calling which is to heal. While medicine heals physically, music heals the soul and so both improve the well-being of people,” she stated.

The ‘He Reign’ singer said although the job of a health worker is time consuming, she is still committed to dedicating more time to his music in line with his mission off “healing the downhearted.”

“Music is my first love and this time around, I want to give it more of my time because there are people who are sick spiritually and need equal attention too,” she added.

Real name, Rita Nkansah, she nurtured her talent by performing at various churches before joining the music industry years ago and she says her goal is “to preach the salvation of Christ”.
