Prominent gospel musician Sonnie Badu has called on artists to combine spiritual depth with commercial appeal in gospel music, arguing that such a balance can both reach and sustain a broader audience.

In an interview on Morning Starr,Badu stressed the importance of not allowing commercialization to overshadow spirituality. However, he warned against neglecting commercial aspects entirely, noting that solely focusing on the spiritual side of gospel music can lead to missed opportunities and regrets.

“Regret comes in at the end of the day after realizing you were solely spirit-filled and have missed so many opportunities,” he commented.

Badu also highlighted the financial reality of producing gospel music, noting that digital platforms incur costs for uploads. He suggested that adding commercial appeal to spirit-filled music could financially benefit gospel musicians, enabling them to continue their work.

“When your music blesses the world, it can open doors for your craft,” he remarked, adding that exceptional music can impact audiences globally regardless of language barriers.

The gospel singer also announced his upcoming concert, Afro Monty, in partnership with Silicon House. Scheduled for November 29 at Independence Square in Accra, the free event promises a memorable experience for Ghanaians, aiming to set a new standard for gospel events.
