Gospel Musician MOGmusic Admitted Into Grammy Academy
Ghanaian gospel musician, Nana Yaw Boakye, professionally known as MOGmusic, is now a member of the Recording Academy of the Grammy Awards.
MOGmusic becomes the first gospel artiste from Ghana to be admitted into the Recording Academy following the approval of his application by the Grammy Board.
The award-winning musician announced this great win on his Instagram page on June 27, 2023, with the caption, “Grace up, a step up. Another time and opportunity to put Africa and Ghana on the map.
Thanks, @recordingacademy. Happy to be a member of this great family”.
Speaking on his admission into the Recording Academy membership, MOGmusic said he was elated at the news, saying it is like a dream come true.
“This is the pinnacle every musician wishes to get to,” he stated. “I am glad to be putting Ghana on the map once again.”
He further noted that his admission into the academy motivates him to do more as a gospel musician.
The two-time VGMA Male Vocal Performance winner earlier this year took his music career to another level when he launched his latest album, ‘Koinonia Phase II.’
The album builds on the previous Koinonia Phase I album, launched last year, which blessed the industry worldwide with hit songs like Grace, Mala, Your Presence, Almighty God, Choral Praise, Glory to the Lamb, and There’s Power.
His new album comprises eight songs featuring renowned gospel musicians like Pastor Donnie McClurkin, Pastor Kojo Frimpong, Ps Shadrack Mensah Kwesi, Joey Saff and Kobby Salm.
The songs include Nyankopong, Glorious, Holy Chant, We Cry Yahweh ft. Pastor Kojo Frimpong, Be Lifted Medley ft. Donnie McClurkin, Covenant Keeper, Yesu ft. Joey Saff and Kobby Salm, and African Praise ft. Ps Shadrack Mensah Kwesi.
Aside from those songs in the ‘Koinonia Phase I and II”, MOGmusic is known for songs like Be Lifted, Elohim, Living God, and many more.
In addition to being a singer and songwriter for the gospel music industry, MOG is also a pastor at the Royalhouse Chapel International.
