Popular Ghanaian gospel musician, Broda Sammy, has advised his colleagues in the industry to embrace versatility in their music to maximise their earning potentials.

Speaking in an interview on the ‘Asetena Pa’ show with Akoto Mansa, the artiste testified that there is money in the industry as long as musicians take advantage of their craft.

“There is money in the gospel music industry. I can testify. If you are a gospel musician and you want to make money, study me,” Broda Sammy declared.

He explained that while worship songs are relevant, they are often limited to church events.

However, he said incorporating danceable beats and drumming opens the artiste up to a wider range of events.

“If you compose only worship songs, you only get called to perform in churches. But if you compose songs with a lot of drumming and danceable beats, you will get booked for a lot of events; from weddings to birthdays to even funerals,” he said.

Using himself as an example, Broda Sammy said, “When I used to compose only worship songs, brands like MTN never called me. But when I started composing songs with dancing, I started getting bookings because, at such events, they want people to dance.”

He advised his colleagues who specialise only in worship songs to expand and diversify their craft, stating, “The Lord is not a one-way God. Why would you be one? Add some spice to your craft,” he urged.
