Jemima In Dad's Steps

Many musicians learn how to sing, only a few of them are born with the talent. Jemima Annor-Yeboah, without any shred of doubt, belongs to the latter group of musicians.

Her talent in music was discovered at the age five and since then she has blossomed into a gem.

As she launched her first gospel album, Ewurade ani wo meso, on Sunday, October 29, 2006, Jemima is notifying stalwarts in the gospel music industry that she is in to give them a good run for their money.

And to all gospel music lovers, she promises them nothing but the best. "It's my priority to go to the top. I want the sky to be my limit", she says.

The 23-year old music prodigy is not in the least intimidated by the big names in the industry. "I know I can cope ,with the favour and grace of God.

I know that the talent that God has given me is not a small thing. I always tell God that if I had more than what I have right now, I'll give it all to Him", she says.

Jemima believes that her talent is hereditary.

Her father, Apostle Dr Augustine Annor-Yeboah, the Presiding Bishop of the CPIC, used to be a choir boy many years ago. He's not lost touch with singing though.

"I've realized that in this industry I need to be determined and focused, and with the favour of God, I know that I can make it", she adds.

Ewurade ani wo meso was a title Jemima conceived for her maiden album in 1997 and it was motivated by some difficulties her family was going through at that time.

But why did it take her almost a decade to deliver the album? "For me, I wanted to come out very early but you know, when God gives you a talent, He gives you leaders to guide you", she explains, citing her father who always tells her to be patient because in God's own time, He makes all things beautiful.

The appointed time for Jemima came during the "Stars of the Future" programme on GTV. Out of more than 700 contestants who participated in the television reality show, she was among the six finalists, and after that she has crowned her diligence with an album that befits the description - spectacular.

"I don't think it would have been easier if I had come out earlier on", she vindicates her father and other well-wishers who have guided her to be patient.

Ewurade ani wo meso is a collection of soul-inspiring songs with titles, such as Abraham Nyame, Obarima Yesu, Onyame ho ye hu, Ma hwihwe no, and Wo tumi so.

The album is categorized into three - prayer songs, worship songs and songs of praise. And these are meant to satisfy the diverse interest of gospel lovers.
