Gospel musician Perez Musik has praised Cwesi Oteng for his significant contribution to Ghana’s gospel music scene, particularly in shaping the contemporary urban gospel genre.
Speaking in an interview with Roselyn Felli on Joy Prime’s Changes show, the Hewale Lala hitmaker said Cwesi Oteng’s 2012 song God Dey Bless Me opened doors for many emerging gospel artistes.
“Cwesi Oteng is just an amazing inspiration. When he did God Dey Bless Me, there were a lot of things we’re enjoying now as musicians which would have been difficult if he hadn’t come. He paved the way for a lot of things,” Perez Musik said.
He also echoed Cwesi Oteng’s previous comments about facing criticism and spiritual attacks from within the gospel fraternity, noting that such experiences are real and somewhat common.
“The attacks are many. Some of them are physical while others are spiritual,” he revealed.
Perez Musik explained that people often resist or attack what they do not understand, stressing the importance of remaining discreet in the face of adversity.
“Sometimes it’s best to remain the mystery that they know you for. When you talk or show too much, you give them a reason to come after you. So, sometimes just remain the mystery that you are,” he advised.
