A gospel music Enthusiast and influencer in the Western Region, Mawusi William Dotse has admonished Churches in Sekonkdi-Takoradi to establish their record labels just as some Churches in Accra have begun.
In an interview with Bismark Ato Eduakoh on Spice FM’s Gospel Express show, the Gospel music Analyst stated that church leaders in Sekondi- Takoradi should emulate what churches in Accra have started by having their record labels.
He added that after they establish the record labels, they should engage the services of experienced people to manage their record labels for them.
He further explained that some Churches in Africa with record labels had issues managing their artists. He cited an example that the Christ Embassy Church recently had issues with some of its great artists like Sinach.
He commended Pastor Mensah Otabil for starting a Music Label at the International Central Gospel Church (ICGC) in Accra. However, he questioned the ability of the various Churches to manage their artists.
“Establishing Music Labels in Churches has been something we have all been calling for and Pastor Mensah Otabil has started it in Accra which is very very good just that I am still asking myself how is he going to go about it. Because just as are we having this conversation, there have been issues concerning Christ Embassy’s singer, Sinach.
It was alleged that she went to perform in a different church which Pastor Chris did not approve of so it seems she doesn’t sing in the church anymore.” he mentioned.
Moving on, he admitted that Churches like the Breakthrough Chapel, Harvest Chapel, and Zion Praise Chapel among others all in Takoradi have good musicians and therefore could have their record labels.
Churches like Breakthrough have good musicians, the likes of Pastor Larry, Pastor Charles, Maame Serwaa even their Bishop, Bishop Osei Tutu is a musicians and they are all solid.
Again, ZionPraise, Harvest Chapel, and a few others have good musicians and I expect that they all establish their Music Labels in Takoradi. he concluded.
Mawusi William Dotse is the manager of Navah, one of the greatest gospel musicians in the Western Region.
