Jerry Kwodwo Nuvi, a name echoing through the corridors of gospel music, has spent years crafting melodies behind the scenes. Born and raised in the vibrant coastal city of Takoradi, Ghana, Jerry’s roots are deep in rhythm and soul. From a young age, his voice was his gift, and music his calling.

Starting out as a humble backing vocalist in church choirs and local bands, Jerry’s ear for harmony and unmatched discipline soon caught the attention of top gospel acts. His journey took a monumental turn when he joined Selina Boateng Music, not only as a vocalist but rising through dedication to become the production manager. With Selina Boateng, one of Ghana’s gospel powerhouses, Jerry became a vital force behind some of the most soul-stirring performances and albums to bless African gospel.

Over the years, Jerry traveled across the African continent—Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya, Uganda, Côte d’Ivoire, and more—lending his voice and managing performances that touched hearts and stirred worship. His presence on stage, though often in the background, carried a power that audiences felt deeply.

Now, in 2025, a new chapter is unfolding for Jerry. He has been officially contracted to join the London Encounter Concert slated for 27th July 2025, a major gospel event bringing together voices from all corners of the globe. This opportunity is more than just another concert; it’s a recognition of years of faith, consistency, and excellence.

For Jerry, this isn’t just about singing—it’s about ministry, impact, and representing Ghana and Africa on a global stage. As he prepares to take on London, those who know his story smile with pride. From Takoradi to the world, Jerry Kwodwo Nuvi’s harmony is just beginning to echo in even greater places.

Gospel singer Maa Fausty has released a brand-new song titled “Magyenkwa Yesu”, a soulful track that celebrates Jesus Christ as our Savior. With her powerful vocals, Maa Fausty shares a message of hope and inspiration, reminding listeners of the love and redemption that Jesus brings.

The production of “Magyenkwa Yesu” was skillfully handled by Dan Bassey, who brought the song to life with his expert touch. The result is a beautiful and uplifting track that showcases Maa Fausty’s talent and dedication to spreading the message of God’s love.

“Magyenkwa Yesu” is now available for streaming and download, and fans of Maa Fausty can experience the joy and inspiration of her music. With this new song, Maa Fausty continues to share her gift with the world, bringing people closer to God through her music.

The Board of the Telecel Ghana Music Awards has responded to why King Paluta’s ‘Makoma’ was not nominated in this year’s scheme.

Contrary to rumours of supposed profanity in the song, a press release signed by Robert Klah, the head of communications and public events at Charterhouse, indicates otherwise.

The organizers say, “Each artist can have only one song per category, except for Best Collaboration, Best International Collaboration, and Best Music Video.”

They further explain that “this rule prevents vote-splitting and ensures that artists have the most substantial chance of winning.

Using King Paluta’s “Aseda” and “Makoma” as an example, we applied this rule to select the most popular song. Based on our research, including streaming numbers and airplay from 175 radio stations, “Aseda” was adjudged the more popular choice in both Highlife and Most Popular Song of the Year categories,” the statement indicates.

They also acknowledge that although the Board relaxed this rule in some notable years of the scheme, its current stance is to allow only one nomination per artist per category.
