I never wanted to become a musician – Mary Ghansah

Celebrated gospel singer Mary Ghansah says she never dreamt of becoming a musician in Ghana.

According to her, music was the least career choice she ever considered while growing up.

The 61-year-old said that though her family was blessed with musicians, she had no desire for the art.

“Like I said, music wasn’t something I wanted to do even though my uncle Pastor Anderson, who is mom’s brother, was a pre-composer… It looks like it (music) is in the family”

“So, one day I realised that I was being called to do what I originally didn’t want to do because if you are doing God’s work in our days is like they are poor,” she said in an interview on DaybreakHitz on Hitz FM.

Mary Ghansah mentioned that she had wanted to become an air hostess and a nurse at a point.

“I wanted to be air hostess because I love to fly,”, she added.

The veteran artiste’s career spans 40 years with many albums and hit songs.

Some of her popular tunes include ‘Okokroko’, ‘Onyame Ndae’, ‘Agyenkwa Jesus’, ‘Onyame Ye Odo’, ‘Onipa Ben Neni’, ‘What A Friend’, ‘Onyame Se Ayeyi’, ‘You Are My Everything’, ‘Enkaa Ekyire’ , ‘Sweet Jesus’, among others.
