The veteran gospel artist, Grace Appiah Kubi, known as Grace Ashy, said when she released her first song titled “Adea Yesu” in the early 2000s when she was emerging as an artist.
She recounted how she gave the song to Abeiku Santana but he never played it. How he disappointed her.
“I gave the song to Abeiku Santana, but he didn’t play it”. I was frustrated and disappointed in the presenter, but was motivated to invest some time and resources in her craft to prove such personalities wrong”, she said.
She shared in an interview, the gospel artist shared how her music career began. She said, “I started singing in church when I moved to stay with my grandmother.”
“When I came to Accra, I started a church with Rev. Michael Osei Bonsu in Adenta but started going to Gospel Light with my late husband, where I was the lead singer. Through this, I started writing music. I released my debut single, ‘Adea Yesu’ in the year 2000”.
According to her, she had nothing from the GFA after all her association with them. “His Excellency J. A. Kuffuor, then President of Ghana told the GFA board to take good care of me but they didn’t heed to it. They don’t have any excuses to treat me with disregard because they had sponsorship for their events”, Grace Ashy added.
