Ghanaian musician Cwesi Oteng has revealed he is the pioneer of urban gospel music as it is in Ghana.

Speaking in an interview with ZionFelix on the ‘Uncut’ Show, the ‘I win’ artiste said he thinks the genre being sung by the likes of Joe Mettle, MOG music was started by him.

Hermon Cyrus Kwesi Nhyira Oteng as he is privately known believes his efforts opened the window for these talents who are doing exceptionally well following their emergence.

Pastor Oteng stated that he has been able to inspire a whole generation through his craft.

He recounted that he was the only new age Gospel musician at the time that he released ‘God Dey Bless Me’.

The energetic Gospel musician disagreed with people who thought his music career took a nosedive.

He pointed out that he cannot always be the focal point all the time due to the emergence of Joe Mettle, MOG and other talented Urban Gospel musicians.

Cwesi Oteng was shocked about how the majority of Ghanaians conclude that one is not vibrant when new talents are discovered.
