Speaking with host Roman Fada, Kwesey Pee emphasized the importance of unity among musicians, regardless of genre.
He believes that both secular and gospel artists are storytellers, differing only in their themes. “We’re all musicians, and I don’t care about the genre you choose. What matters is the message you’re delivering to the audience,” he said.
Kwesey Pee also addressed the hypocrisy he perceives among some Christians who listen to secular music in private but criticize the genre publicly. “I don’t understand why many Christians listen to what they describe as secular music in their homes, in their cars, and at events, but condemn the messengers,” he noted.
The ‘Me Hia Odo’ hitmaker’s comments highlight the need for a more inclusive and accepting music industry, where artists can appreciate and learn from each other, regardless of genre.
Mavis Asante, known for her soul-stirring gospel songs, has clearly made a significant impact on Kwesey Pee, demonstrating the power of music to transcend boundaries and bring people together.
Kwesi Pee’s message to Mavis Asante serves as a reminder of the importance of respect, admiration, and unity among artists, as well as the significant role music plays in shaping our lives and experiences.
