Gospel And Secular Music Collaboration Is Not A Sin – Joseph Matthew
Conversations about Gospel Artistes working with their secular colleagues have sparked outrageous backlashes from many of the Christian faith but Gospel artiste, Joseph Mathew thinks otherwise. He asserts that there is no point having such discussions particularly when the good book, The Holy Bible commissions Christians to show love towards all and sundry. Also he said that Jesus Christ himself sat mostly with sinners during his days because it was them that needed saving.
He maintained the view that Christians should not be ‘unequally yoked’ as defense of critics against gospel and secular music collaborations, was not a demonstration of love.
“I hate to say that religious people, especially people of the Christian faith are the most judgmental. We are always quick to dissaociate ourselves from people who don’t share our beliefs, doctrines and way of life.
But the question is ‘how do you share what you believe in without any relationship with the other party? Most of the time, Gospel artistes are the ones who invite secular acts for features. With such a move, the Gospel musicians are able to preach and share their beliefs and sincerely, I think it is an opportunity to win someone over.
Perhaps, when we look beyond the ‘unequally yoked’ mantra and consider how we can positively impact others with our beliefs, this debate will end”, he expressed.
Joseph Mathew is a Ghanaian-UK based Gospel artiste making steady progress back home.
With songs such as Halleluyah, Nyame Ye, My Story, Not Alone and The Name gaining some popularity in Ghana, Joseph was emboldened to host his maiden concert at the Perez Dome in May last year.
The artiste who is currently promoting his latest song, Blessed identifies himself as an urban artiste but there is more to him.
His style is an infusion of what he says is neotonic Afrobeats, rap and contemporary Highlife.
Joseph Matthew, the proffer of Afro-gospel music in Ghana, also mentioned that there was no point comparing artistes from Ghana to Nigeria because Ghana had proven itself worthy in the affairs of music in the sub region.
“Ghana is like a state in Nigeria. Our population is less than 40 million as compared to Nigeria with over 300 million people. So with this disposition, our present influence and contribution to music in Africa and beyond, we are even doing well,” he said.

While some fans, particularly those of Stonebwoy, have been mocking Shatta Wale’s performance, Tillie Gya believes this is uncalled for. According to him, Shatta Wale’s inclusion in the concert is a big win for Ghana and Africa, and should be celebrated.
Tillie Gya took to social media to express his disappointment at the behavior of some Stonebwoy fans. He believes that fan bases in Ghana should know when to celebrate and when to compete. Instead of mocking Shatta Wale, fans should be proud of his achievement and the fact that he is putting Ghana on the map.
The debate highlights the intense rivalry between Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy, two of Ghana’s biggest Reggae Dancehall artists. However, Tillie Gya’s comments serve as a reminder that there is room for all artists to shine and make Ghana proud. By celebrating each other’s successes, Ghanaian artists can work together to take the music industry to the next level.

“A year of excellence” Joe Kole Outshines All in 2024
In the current ghanaian music space, it will be unfair to give all credit to artists without acknowledging the efforts of music producers.
One producer whom we can not turn a blind eye to his recent works is Wodzrah George, widely known as Joe Kole. From the days of Flowking Stone through to the era of King Paluta and Amerado.
The champion music producer, Joe Kole, has proven to be a timeless producer; recently being behind 80% of hit songs in ghana and being a core influence in the rise of kumerican music vibe.
Top artists such as Strongman, King Paluta, Amerado, Sista Afia, Eno Barony, Rap Father .etc are now big names because of his genius production.
There is no doubt he is a legendary producer and needs to be remembered, applauded, and most importantly, awarded in the coming TGMA.
Rap heavyweight; Eno Barony is out with No Manual album, and Joe Kole produced most of the songs on it.
Joe Kole has shown signs of never slowing down, we hope TGMA acknowledges him. To know him more, you can follow him on
