Renowned gospel musician, Sonnie Badu has urged gospel artistes not to focus too much on commercializing gospel music.
Although he agrees with the commercial aspect because he believes it’s a reward for the craft, the revered worshipper emphasized the need for a balance with spiritual elements.
He cautioned against prioritising commercialisation over spirituality in gospel music.
“The spirit-filled could be commercialized and its rightly so and good to do that. That’s how you benefit from your gift and craft.
“You need that balance there, don’t be totally commercialized to forget about the spirituality, you have to blend the two,” he said in an interview on Star FM, November 13, 2024.
According to him, uploading songs on digital platforms comes with a cost and gospel artistes must reap their financial benefits.
“I think there is the now realization that the spirit-filled gospel music can be commercialized. Anybody who puts their song on a digital platform is not doing it for free.
“If you are super spirit-filled you end up regretting not doing what you could have done when you had the opportunity to,” Sonnie Badu added.
The gospel musician disclosed his upcoming “Afro Monty” concert in partnership with Silicon House which will happen at the Independence Square on November 29.
He called on Ghanaians to attend the event which is free for an extraordinary experience.
