Zion Daughter Soon To Release Debut Album

Whoever thinks the number of artistes springing up on our local music scene in both the hiplife and the gospel departments of the industry are not gifted enough to go international may be deceiving themselves.

This is because even though they are flooding the surface of the industry as ants besiege sugar, there is definitely the need for variety and change so as to satisfy all fans eventually, if not at once.

But in spite of the fact that they are inundating the local music industry, some of them have proved beyond reasonable doubt that they have a lot to offer the industry.

One of such artistes is pretty Gladys, aka Zion Daughter, who is presently in the studio working very hard on her debut album.

One of such artistes is pretty Gladys, aka Zion Daughter, who is presently in the studio working very hard on her debut album.

With songs on the up-coming album bearing a variety of tunes including highlife, funk, reggae, 'agbadza', and very beautiful praise and worship pieces, Zion Daughter is poised to upstage her predecessors.

Born a natural composer, writer and arranger, Zion Daughter, with the help of her programmer, is busily putting finishing touches to the album that promises to be an instant hit.

The multi-talented lady, who was born in the nineteen seventies studied Basic Business Management at the GCE O'Level and went further to study Computer Software, making her computer literate.

She is also a trained secretary with 13 years work experience on her CV. She learned to sew on part-time and graduated with grade 1 distinction.

She got born-again in 1996, when she took keen interest in church choir activities and rose through the ranks to become an executive member of the choir.

In 2003, she decided to become a professional musician and therefore started writing her own songs through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.

Zion Daughter does not only sing, but also preaches the word of God, especially on biblical marriage issues.

Zion Daughter, who says self-discipline and faithfulness is her hallmark, sings with great passion and inspiration with guidance from the Holy Spirit and is able to use her voice to touch souls of the depressed through song ministration.
