Gospel musician who sells his CD himself in lorry parks

Brother Turkson is a song writer, singer and eventually the marketer of his album. He was not nominated at the last VGMA and may never will as far as he continues with his strategy in this modern time.

Today there are many people with the passion to sing, others rely heavily on others for their sponsorship but when you realize that you have no one to help you except God, and then you must resort to one on one selling strategy.

Brother Turkson is a gospel singer and perhaps that could explain why his humility will allow him to walk round playing his song to listeners and those that are immediately touched buy the CD from the celebrity himself. He normally walks round car stations like Madina or any place the spirit leads him to.

It is a rare privilege to have such one on one relationship with the singer. Normally he does not sign autographs but prays for you and your family for your support.

What shall it profit a man to think through a song, compose it, suffer through the studio, print CDs and produce an album only to have you, your friends and family listen to it and acknowledge how good your songs are.

With the high cost of radio promotions, not even talk of TV, younger ones make use of online media to promote their songs but not everyone uses the Internet.

He is a great musician whose works are yet to come out of obscurity. There are many like him as well who are not members of MUSIGA, will never walk the red carpet but these group of people sing from the heart and soul, they are yet to encounter the fame and pride reserved for known musicians. If the truth be said the best songs come from humble hearts.

One should not confuse his strategy as foolish or yielding nothing, there are advantages to his approach as well. He does not need to deal with piracy; he will not suffer the lies and disappointments of bad marketers and distributors. He knows his fans not a Facebook issue.

Brother Turkson's album is in the system, it contains eight tracks and the album title is “Menyame Atie Me” when translated means “God has listened to me”.
