Kwaku Gyasi, Josh Laryea, Oware Jnr. Bishop Michael Osei Bonsu, Rev. Yawson, and more have been favorites among gospel music lovers for decades now. It is true that they have become top names in the genre but the Ghanaian music industry is about to experience another God sent gospel artiste by name, King David Arhen.
After a long stay (eight years) in the states away from home, he is ready to churn out a soul inspiring gospel album.
King David is ready with his new project entitled, ?Nyame Ma Me Ba?, an album that has stirring songs, gut wrenching vocals and unbelievable anointing and not forgetting how great God is.
King David has not released an album yet but has been providing powerful spiritual messages through some performances he does in his church choir.
Enough about him. Read about King David Arhen as he talks to Ghana Music.com about his new project, which he feels is a solution to some problems some Christians face in life.
