A new gospel musician is out to take Ghana’s gospel music by storm, judging from his profile and existing works.
Samuel Sey, the composer and singer of the new single, Kronkron, which has since enjoyed extensive playtime, is a UK-based gospel artiste.
As typified by his song, Kronkron which translates as “holy”, Samuel is of the view that gospel music, in its purest sense must aim at transforming society and encouraging the Christian to strive for holiness.
“Instead of striving for fame, fortune or material happiness, the Christian must first strive for holiness because with it, comes internal peace” Samuel indicated in an interview with adomonline.com.
You may describe him as a man of praise and you wouldn’t be wrong because, according to him, he was inspired to write Kronkron per the directions of the Holy Spirit through his praise moments.
”I can recount several moments, growing up as a young man in ministry, hearing about the holiness of God until one day, in my lone moment, it became tangible [through kronkron]”, said Samuel.
“The Bible instructs us [Christians] to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness, no one will see the Lord so this song comes as a call to every believer that God is Holy and our walk with him is perfect only if we walk in holiness with him” he added.
