He was announced the Best Gospel Artiste of the Year and Best Male Vocal Performer.

Joe Mettle’s powerful vocal delivery on the track “Obo Awan Oba” stood out among a strong list of contenders, earning him the title of Male Vocal Performer of the Year for the third time.

His previous wins in this category came in 2015 and 2017, making this a well-deserved and celebrated return to that spotlight.

In addition to his vocal win, being crowned Best Gospel Artiste of the Year was another testament to his consistency and deep connection with gospel audiences both in Ghana and abroad.

Since clinching his first TGMA award in 2015, Joe Mettle has maintained a near-unbroken presence at the top, collecting accolades year after year.

His most historic win came in 2017, when he became the first-ever gospel artiste to be crowned TGMA Artiste of the Year, a groundbreaking moment that opened doors for many gospel acts in the mainstream music space.

This year’s double win brings his total TGMA awards to six, reinforcing his longevity and spiritual calling.

]]> Claim that Joe Mettle was police before becoming gospel musician, false http://34.58.148.58/claim-that-joe-mettle-was-police-before-becoming-gospel-musician-false/ Tue, 19 Nov 2024 10:59:01 +0000 https://www.adomonline.com/?p=2473246 Claim: A photo of Ghanaian gospel musician Joe Mettle in a police uniform has been trending on social media, with many accounts and news portals disseminating that he abandoned his job as a police officer to embrace the gospel music ministry.

Verdict: False! Although Joe Mettle confirmed he is the one in the police uniform,  he denied ever being enrolled in the Ghana Police Service after DUBAWA contacted him.

Again, what the shoulder cord, also known as the whistle lanyard, on the right side of Joe Mettle’s uniform depicts, is not an official Ghana Police Officer rank uniform.

Full Text

One X user, AL Varo X (‘@al_varo777’), has amassed over 300,000 views and over 100 comments after he posted an old photo of Joe Mettle in a police uniform, where he juxtaposed it with a current one of him to motivate his followers.

The photo, captioned “Never Give Up,” urged followers to believe Joe Mettle transitioned as a police officer.

It garnered over 500 reposts and attracted diverse reactions on the digital platform. Some were surprised, saying they never knew Joe Mettle was in the police force. Some local news websites also published the story.

On Facebook, a page, ‘Chodarich Ghanamusicweb,’ posted the two photos with the caption, “Joe Mettle was once a policeman. What really happened before he switched?”

This statement suggests that Joe Mettle was once enrolled as a policeman for his followers, and it equally garnered some comments.

Another Facebook user, Ghana Nsem Everyday, posted a photo of Joe Mettle in a police uniform with the caption,

“Joe Mettle was once a police officer? This picture of him in the police uniform has been trending.” Shortly after, the page’s admin suggested that “maybe the gospel musician resigned” from the police force before he embraced the music craft.

Meanwhile, when one popular blogger ‘Dr Sneaker Nyame’ with the handle @SneakerNyame_, posted the two photos, asking his followers, “Joe Mettle was once a policeman?” the answers he got suggested many were ill-informed or confused about the photo.

One of his verified followers, Juniorjhayy, @jacksonjhayy, told Sneaker Nyame that “Joe Mettle was one of the big police officers in Ghana, while another follower, Kwame Osei Owusu who believed the reply, followed up with a riposte: “Saaa so DSP Kofi Sarpong is not the only Gospel musician and police. Wow.”

Similarly, some blog posts handled by Mercy Mensah and Isaac Appiah on the Ghanaweb digital platform shared similar stories with their followers, confirming that Joe Mettle was a public officer before he switched.

With this information spreading like wildfire, DUBAWA decided to investigate to uncover the truth.

Verification

DUBAWA first called Joe Mettle’s management. Ruth Elinam Yevu, one of his core team members, confirmed they had seen the photo but debunked the assertion that he had been a police officer before.

Joe Mettle also denied it. The ‘Bo No Ni’ hitmaker said that although he was in the photo, it was only for a purpose.

He told DUBAWA: “I have never been in the police force. It was just a character, and it took place a long time ago. I think it was a music video for a peace song back in the day. There were others also dressed in similar regalia.”

Also, DUBAWA’s research revealed that police officers in the country wear their uniform’s cords (whistle lanyard) on the left shoulder.

In Ghana, a whistle lanyard is a cord or strap worn by police officers to hold and secure a whistle. It is typically attached to the shoulder part of the uniform for easy access.

The whistle is a traditional tool police officers use for signalling and communication, especially in situations where verbal commands might not be effective or where police officers need to catch someone’s attention quickly.

Meanwhile, in some police forces, including Ghana’s, the style, colour, or presence of a whistle lanyard can sometimes indicate rank or specific duties.

In these cases, higher-ranking officers may have distinct lanyards or cords as part of their uniform that set them apart from junior officers. This difference can be subtle, like a different braid or colour, and is meant to provide a visual cue to their position within the force.

Conclusion

The claim that gospel musician Joe Mettle was a police officer before entering the music industry is false.

News of KODA’s death was a difficult moment for me – Joe Mettle http://34.58.148.58/news-of-kodas-death-was-a-difficult-moment-for-me-joe-mettle/ Wed, 18 Sep 2024 22:11:25 +0000 https://www.adomonline.com/?p=2450809 Gospel singer Joe Mettle has expressed profound grief over the death of his colleague, Kofi Owusu Dua Anto, affectionately called KODA.

According to Mr. Mettle, it has been a difficult experience, given the friendship they both shared until KODA’s demise.

Speaking on Joy Prime’s Changes show, the singer told Roselyn Felli, who asked about how he felt upon receiving the news of his colleague’s death, that “it was a difficult moment and still is.”

He continued that, although the musician is gone forever, reminiscing about moments makes him feel as if KODA is still alive.

“Sometimes we’re still living in denial about the fact that maybe he’s still around. Once in a while you have the awareness that he really is gone,” he reiterated.

Mr. Mettle has faith that the departure of the ‘Hossana’ hitmaker is the will of God, believing that KODA is resting peacefully in God’s bosom.

Meanwhile, the final funeral rites for the late singer are scheduled for Friday, September 20, at KICC Dominion Center, off Spintex Road.

All fans and sympathizers are encouraged to join the family as they bid their beloved one farewell.

Gift will open doors but character will keep you there – Joe Mettle urges musicians http://34.58.148.58/gift-will-open-doors-but-character-will-keep-you-there-joe-mettle-urges-musicians/ Wed, 31 Jul 2024 19:17:27 +0000 https://www.adomonline.com/?p=2428186 Ghanaian gospel musician, Joe Mettle has shared valuable insights with attendees of the Band Experience Music Workshop.

The event which was held at Manchester in the United Kingdom brought together musicians and enthusiasts from various genres under one umbrella on June 22, 2024.

In his address, Joe Mettle highlighted the significance of character in achieving and maintaining success in the music industry.

“Gift is important, but gift itself is not enough. You need to improve on the gift God has already given you. So it’s great that you are in the room right now, adding more knowledge, adding more experience from the people that also God has given grace to be able to travel the world and do this amazing thing we call music. I also want to say one other thing, character is also necessary, because gifted as you can be without character, trust me, many people will find it difficult having to work with you,” he said while connecting virtually.

He encouraged aspiring musicians to focus not only on honing their musical abilities but also on developing integrity, humility, and a strong work ethic.

“Sometimes the gift will open the door for you, make a way for you to go to a place, but it is only character that will keep you there and keep you running. I understand that sometimes it might look like you are being maltreated or not treated, right. That’s a different situation.”

“But when you find yourself always having to move, because of how character made you react and everything, maybe you should check it [your character] again. And so as you learn, as you improve, as you grow in your craft, please be mindful that character is what will keep you there even though gift can open the door for you to get to that point.”

Joe Mettle’s message resonated with many participants, inspiring them to strive for excellence both in their craft and in their personal conduct.

Other musicians, producers and seasoned instrumentalists who graced the Manchester event organised by George Addo Jnr include Joseph Darko Wilson, Opoku Sanaa, Ezekiel Julius, Dave da Musicbox, Kwakes, Annor Yeboah, Kwaku Amoako and Ezekiel Omosebi among others.

The Band Experience Music Workshop aims to provide a platform for learning, networking, and professional growth.

The organisers are also gearing up for its maiden worship night dubbed ‘Shachah 2024’.

It is set for Friday, August 2 in Manchester, UK.

My daughter inspired me to write ‘Kadosh’ – Joe Mettle http://34.58.148.58/my-daughter-inspired-me-to-write-kadosh-joe-mettle/ Mon, 24 Jun 2024 20:06:29 +0000 https://www.adomonline.com/?p=2412786 Renowned gospel musician ,Joe Mettle has opened up about the inspiration behind his song, Kadosh.

In an interview on Daybreak Hitz with host Andy Dosty, Joe Mettle shared how his wife and newborn daughter significantly shaped his writing in music.

According to Joe Mettle, the birth of his daughter sparked a divine inspiration.

When the Holy Spirit spoke to him about his child’s purity, he recalled, “Do you think this child is pure? And I said yes, her purity cannot be compared to mine and how Holy I am.”

Joe Mettle also revealed that he wrote the song without knowing the meaning of Kadosh, which he later discovered means “the Holiness of God”.

He also shared that the original voice note of the song features his baby’s sounds, adding a personal touch to the track.

The ‘Me Dan Wo’ singer also acknowledged his wife’s contribution to one of his songs, stating that she had valuable input despite not being released yet.

I won’t accept sponsorship from any alcoholic brand – Joe Mettle http://34.58.148.58/i-wont-accept-sponsorship-from-any-alcoholic-brand-joe-mettle/ Fri, 21 Jun 2024 12:29:37 +0000 https://www.adomonline.com/?p=2411586 Award-winning gospel musician, Joe Mettle has reaffirmed his position on sponsorship from alcoholic brands.

Speaking on Daybreak Hitz with Andy Dosty, Joe Mettle emphasized that he would not accept any sponsorship from such brands for his events.

He stated, “It is a no for me. Aside from faith, you can only work with brands that complement what you do.”

When questioned about accepting anonymous sponsorship from an alcohol brand, Joe Mettle responded, saying, “With brands that give sponsorship and do not want to be mentioned, that is the silent sponsors, because silence is silent, I don’t know what I will do about that now though.”

He further elaborated that corporate sponsorships are rarely without strings attached, as there are usually obligations to fulfill in return.

“A company’s sponsorship is mostly not free since no matter what, you will be required to pay it someday since you will be invited on their stage”, he stated.

Why I turned down Sarkodie’s feature request – Joe Mettle http://34.58.148.58/why-i-turned-down-sarkodies-feature-request-joe-mettle/ Fri, 21 Jun 2024 00:28:16 +0000 https://www.adomonline.com/?p=2411372 Renowned gospel artist Joe Mettle has addressed his decision to decline a feature request from celebrated Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie and other secular artistes.

Joe Mettle, who has built a successful career in gospel music, explained that collaborating with secular artists could compromise his principles and create expectations for similar collaborations in the future.

He clarified that his decision to turn down Sarkodie’s offer was based on his personal conviction and adherence to his musical direction, rather than any personal issues with the rapper.

He mentioned that he and Sarkodie had a clear and respectful discussion about the potential collaboration, and both parties understood the reasoning behind his decision.

In addition to Sarkodie, Joe Mettle disclosed that he has also declined collaboration requests from other secular artists, including Manifest.

He reiterated that his commitment to gospel music means he must consistently apply the same standards to all collaboration offers from secular artists, regardless of their stature or the potential exposure such collaborations could bring.

Joe Mettle stated that while he values his relationships with these artists and acknowledges their talent, his focus remains on producing music that aligns with his spiritual values.

However, he did not entirely rule out the possibility of future collaborations with secular artists.

He indicated that he might consider such opportunities if he feels a spiritual prompting that aligns with his faith and values.

I reloaded my accounts within 24 hours after emptying them for ‘Praise Reloaded’ – Joe Mettle http://34.58.148.58/i-reloaded-my-accounts-within-24-hours-after-emptying-them-for-praise-reloaded-joe-mettle/ Fri, 14 Jun 2024 22:36:24 +0000 https://www.adomonline.com/?p=2409359 Award-winning gospel singer Joe Mettle has disclosed how he replenished his bank account after completely emptying it to organise one of the editions of his annual Praise Reloaded concert.

The musician said he did it with faith, believing that the gesture would bring countless blessings, which manifested within twenty-four hours.

Joe Mettle revealed this in an interview on Joy Prime’s Prime Morning show on Friday.

“One of the years, I emptied every account I have everywhere; we did the event, and it was a blessing. Because I believe first in God and the vision He’s given me, I emptied everything; I spoke to my wife and gave them what they would need for home and gave out everything else. Right after the event on that Sunday, I left for the US on Monday, and around that time, we hadn’t even finished with the payment. I got there, and there was an event that wasn’t part of my itinerary for that tour, but the pastor said, why won’t I come?”

“But I told him I’m going for a wedding, and he asked when I would be back after the wedding. I told him my ticket would be taking me somewhere else afterwards, but he said I should forget about that ticket. They bought me a new ticket, had me go to the wedding, fly back down, and do the service. After that, what they blessed me with was more than enough to clear all the others and still have something in my account. So, immediately after we finished the service, I sent the rest of the money to the guys,” he narrated to the host, Roselyn Felli.

Others thought he sold tickets to balance the expenses incurred. But the ‘Bo Noo Ni’ hit singer said he does not make any profit from ticket sales.

The brief experience multiplied his belief that God blesses those who are willing to give to impact others with everything He has entrusted to them.

“The question is if God can trust you with it. If you hold on to it, nothing more will come. But if you learn to give back to Him what He’s given to you, more will come.”

The 2017 VGMA Artiste of the Year is yet again looking forward to filling the forty-thousand-seated Accra Sports Stadium with the 2024 edition of his Praise Reloaded for free.

He said it was an inspiration from a fan who reached out to his team to get tickets as they could not afford to purchase any to attend the event.

His team, according to him, did not want to agree to the idea considering the price of the stadium, but he encouraged them to keep faith in God, and the event would turn out great.

The 12th edition of Praise Reloaded is set to take place on June 30, 2024. Themed ‘The Holy Spirit Encounter’, the event will feature an all-star lineup of gospel ministers, including MOG, Ohemaa Mercy, Pastor Isaiah, Nathaniel Bassey, Sunmisola Agbebi, Kofi Peprah, Luigi, Enuonyam, Team Eternity Ghana, and Jumbo Aniebiet.

Joe Mettle is great but not a GOAT – Celestine Donkor http://34.58.148.58/joe-mettle-is-great-but-not-a-goat-celestine-donkor-wades-in-on-debate/ Thu, 07 Dec 2023 20:59:36 +0000 https://www.adomonline.com/?p=2329235 Gospel musician, Celestine Donkor says Joe Mettle cannot be described as the Greatest of All Time [GOAT] in the gospel industry.

She explained that, Mr. Mettle has not attained the feat chalked by veteran gospel musicians like Tagoe Sisters, Daughters of Glorious Jesus and Elder Mireku to be called a GOAT.

To Celestine Donkor, the popular musician is a young legend in the industry.

Celestine Donkor who is currently promoting her latest song with Obaapa Christy said this on Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM

“I was going to mention Obaapa Christy, Tagoe Sisters, Joe Bechem and Elder Mireku, Daughters who are the earliest among the list so we need to look at the life span. Joe Mettle is great, but I don’t think he fits in the category. He is a young great artiste but to put him in that category is too much. If you give daughters a 72-hour marathon, they will nail it easily,” she added.

I don’t regret fighting Joe Mettle; I’ll repeat it if.. – Patience Nyarko http://34.58.148.58/i-dont-regret-fighting-joe-mettle-ill-repeat-it-if-patience-nyarko/ Mon, 27 Nov 2023 13:24:50 +0000 https://www.adomonline.com/?p=2324599 Gospel artist Patience Nyarko remains steadfast in her position regarding the controversial remarks she made about fellow artist Joe Mettle, asserting that she harbours no regrets concerning the past ‘conflict’ or ‘beef’.

She openly declared her willingness to replicate her actions and express similar sentiments if confronted with a comparable situation.

The controversy arose during an interview where Nyarko voiced her concerns about the perceived bias against local artists, specifically noting that many English-speaking gospel musicians are “overhyped,” with Joe Mettle cited as an example.

In response, Joe Mettle implied that Nyarko “is not okay” and suggested she could benefit from some time to heal.

Revisiting the issue, Nyarko emphatically stated that she holds no regret and would engage in a ‘beef’ with Joe Mettle or anyone asserting that Twi-singing artists are less talented.

Nyarko defended her position by stating, “Misunderstandings are normal. Even in Heaven, there was a misunderstanding; that’s why God sacked some of His angels. Why do they expect us gospel artists not to react when triggered? God even wants it when someone offends you; you either ignore or address it and get it out of your heart. It’s normal for Christians to fight; too much peace is hypocrisy, and I don’t like it.”

She clarified that her dispute with Joe Mettle was not a personal vendetta but a defense of her craft and talent. “I fought a good fight, and even now, if given the chance to repeat it, I will. I did a good thing. How can they say as gospel artists, I can’t sing just because I don’t have command over the English language? I only defended my craft and my talent, so whoever wants to be upset with it is fine by me,” Nyarko asserted.

Referencing statistics, she argued that Twi songs hold a dominant position in the gospel music industry compared to English songs and should therefore be accorded the same level of respect.

I regret not taking my music lessons seriously – Joe Mettle http://34.58.148.58/i-regret-not-taking-my-music-lessons-seriously-joe-mettle/ Tue, 04 Jul 2023 16:26:22 +0000 https://www.adomonline.com/?p=2268397 Ghanaian gospel singer Joe Mettle, says that though he is making waves with music, he has regrets for not taking his music lessons seriously back in school.

In a recent interview with Graphic Showbiz, the Kadosh hitmaker said he didn’t take up his music course seriously because he didn’t have any intention of pursuing it at the time.

 “I think I should have taken my music lessons seriously when I was in school. At that time, I didn’t know I would be taking it up one day so I didn’t take it seriously. That is one regret I have in life,” he said.

Joe Mettle has seven albums to his credit. He has won several awards and was adjudged the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA) Artiste of the Year in 2017 as the first Gospel artiste to have won the ultimate.

He told Graphic Showbiz that he is happy with who he is and happy with what God has made him. “I won’t choose who I am over anything. I think I love what God has made me and I love the assignment He has given me.

“Aside from everything, I enjoy serving in this ministry. I love to sing; I love to write. So I just love who I am and what I do,” he disclosed.

Away from music, Joe Mettle who married his wife, Salomey Selassie Dzisa in 2020, said marriage has been good to him.

 “As you can see, marriage is treating me very well. The evidence is there. My family is doing great and I thank God for everything,” he said.

He also had a word of gratitude to his fans: “I want to say thank you for supporting the gift and ministry God has given me. I believe that ministry is about people. So if they don’t support you, you have no ministry. Thank you for the prayers, the thoughts and everything you do to support what God has called me to do”.

On Wednesday’s edition of Joy Prime’s entertainment show, Prime Morning, Joe Mettle unveiled some interesting details of his life bordering on his childhood to his present state as a father-of-one.

Family
Joe Mettle was born to Florence Addo and Emmanuel Mettle as the eldest of six children. He is the only child of both parents, but has five step siblings, two boys and three girls. Despite the stepchildren outnumbering him, Joe Mettle has a peaceful relation with all his siblings

Education

It is no news Joe Mettle studied draftsmanship at the Modern School of Draftsmanship (MODESCO), but his intention was to acquire skills to be an architect. From childhood, he was fascinated with planning, designing, drawing and construction. His dream was to further his education at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, but that did not happen. He had no choice than to ditch architecture because it was too time consuming.

Background
The gospel artiste lived in a typical Ga community where survival of the fittest was their mantra. According to him, he was forced to be adventurous and explore because “if you don’t get hard in the system, you will drown”.

His mum was a petty trader who used to sell ‘waakye’ leaves. They bought in bulk from merchants in Takoradi and retailed to food sellers. When that business went out of date due to the introduction of polythene and packs, Joe and his mother hawked brooms, canes and kerosene until they finally found their feet in food business.

Fun life

Joe Mettle hardly parties. He has never done clubbing because he is not used to the noisy night life, neither does he drink hard liquor. The first time he tasted alcohol was during a community training when his friends trapped him by presented alcohol in a beverage bottle. The goodie-two-shoes said he developed severe mouth sores and till date, he has not got the guts to try again.

Dating and marriage

The gospel musician dated “once or twice” before meeting his soulmate whom he wed. However, his relationship could not sustain due to his busy nature in pursuing his spiritual ministry.

However, when he met Salomey Selassie Dzisa, he just knew in his spirit she was the one and observed her from a distance before making his intentions known.

Joe Mettle met Sellassie online while scrolling through his social media platform. He took notice of her again at his events and at that point, his heart prompted him to make a move which he didn’t. But when Sellassie told him ‘God bless you’ after one of his ministries, he knew it was time to make a move. After talking for almost three years and dating for a year, they tied knot in a plush ceremony in August 2022.

Daughter

He is now a father-of-one to a beautiful girl he described as super hyper and energetic. Joe Mettle was present throughout the pregnancy period and he witnessed everything in the labour ward. It was a difficult moment seeing his wife in pain but it all ended in smiles and glory.

For those who wish to see his daughter’s face, it is almost impossible since he does not see himself posting her anytime soon.

Children

Joe Mettle wishes to have ideally two children, maximum three.

Nannies

Joe Mettle never had a nanny care for him so he will not hire a nanny. According to him, he likes direct bonding and he feels nannies take their share in parental love. He will rather leave parenting for grandparents than nannies.

Joe Mettle shares his most embarrassing moment as a gospel singer [Video] http://34.58.148.58/joe-mettle-shares-his-most-embarrassing-moment-as-a-gospel-singer-video/ Thu, 22 Dec 2022 16:42:11 +0000 https://www.adomonline.com/?p=2198837 Gospel musician Joe Mettle has revealed he had his fair share of disregard and embarrassing moments when he was still climbing the success ladder.

At a time when he was yet-to-be-known, he narrated how he was invited by a friend to perform at his church, but the reception he received was rather a cold one.

According to Joe Mettle, he was in high spirits, ready to perform, but the pastor made an ill comment during their introduction.

“A friend of mine invited me to his church and I hadn’t even sang yet. He introduced me to his pastor as a talented gospel musician blah blah blah. As he was talking, the pastor looked at me from head to toe and didn’t say anything to me but he asked my friend ‘do you think we are joking here’?”

The comment, Joe Mettle said shattered him and was ringing in his head as he made the decision to take the walk of shame back home.

However, he indicated he doesn’t hold the pastor at fault as he was then an underground artiste who was yet to join the Soul Winners band, and his slim stature made him seem a little unqualified.

Despite the incident happening many years ago, Joe Mettle said he remembers it as clear as today since it had both a positive and negative impact in his career.

“For obvious reasons, I won’t disclose the pastor’s name or the church but it really hurt me. It encouraged me to do more. It was like fuel to me, it was the motivation I needed. Maybe if I hadn’t heard those words, I wouldn’t have pushed harder and gotten where I am today.”

Quite ironically, The Ye Obua Mi composer said he received a call from the said pastor to minister in his church recently.

However, Joe Mettle said he could not honour the invitation.

“Just three or four years ago, I had a call from the pastor. The moment he mentioned his name I told him I knew him. He was very happy, but he didn’t know the circumstances with which I recognised him. He’s an encourager for me, so I never forgot him.”

According to him, right from the onset, he took gospel as a mission, thus, preaching and touching lives through his song ministrations.

He added that, his ambition led him to travel to Navrongo, a town and the capital of Kassena-Nankana District in the Upper East Region of northern Ghana, adjacent to the border with Burkina Faso, and he went in good faith to perform.

After reaching his destination, Joe Mettle said he was shocked after seeing the plush hotel that was booked for him among other experiences that will forever linger in his memory.

Why Joe Mettle missed out on 2022 Gospel Awards nomination http://34.58.148.58/why-joe-mettle-missed-out-on-2022-gospel-awards-nomination/ Wed, 27 Jul 2022 09:50:52 +0000 https://www.adomonline.com/?p=2142295 Nominees for the Ghana national Gospel Awards have been duly announced, but in what is an unusual event, artiste Joe Mettle’s name is not featured.

The gospel musician, who is a key stakeholder having won countless awards from the scheme, has his name omitted in all 27 categories.

This has thrown the Christian community into a state of frenzy, with many demanding answers from the organisers and the artiste himself.

To bring the minds of his fans to rest, Joe Mettle has replied, informing it was his decision to be exempted.

Though he did not state his reason, netizens have accepted his request in good faith.

With back-to-back hit songs and his Kadosh album, all released in the year of review, The Ye Obua Mi composer’s fans believe he would have made history again.

This leaves Perez Musik, MOG Music, Scott Evans, Akesse Brempong, Kofi Owusu Peprah, KobbySalm and Luigi MaClean to battle it out for the prestigious Gospel Artiste of the Year categoy.

The fifth edition of the Ghana national Gospel Music Awards comes off in August.

Check out Joe Mettle’s response on betting proposal http://34.58.148.58/check-out-joe-mettles-response-on-betting-proposal/ Fri, 24 Jun 2022 07:47:33 +0000 https://www.adomonline.com/?p=2130189 Award-winning singer and songwriter, Joseph Oscar Nii Armah Mettle, popularly known as Joe Mettle in the gospel fraternity, has said he will never go in for a proposal from any betting company.

Stating his reason on DaybreakHitz on Hitz FM, he indicated that involving himself in that won’t do him good since he is a minister of God.

“I won’t even ask anyone, it’s a straight No for me,” he said.

“I happen to be a minister of God who is gifted with the ability to sing and so my first assignment is to my service to God and so he expects certain things as well from me,” he added.

According to him, he believes companies who offer support expects something in return.

“No company will give you without asking you anything in return. They would have to account for it,” he noted.

However, he wishes that aside from betting companies, other companies could support the work he does but he explained they are scarce to come by.

“About sponsorship, sometimes it comes and sometimes it doesn’t. We wish sometimes it will come more but it doesn’t,” Joe Mettle stated.

“But you see one of the things I have realised is despite all that each time something needs to be done, God in his own way makes a way,” he added.

According to him, one “needs to know where to draw the lines and what will work or will not work for you”.

Citing an instance, he said “I don’t know how but the events we were doing had no company sponsoring but we got individuals sending in money as their support.”#

Joe Mettle opens up on financial struggles as a Gospel musician http://34.58.148.58/joe-mettle-opens-up-on-financial-struggles-as-a-gospel-musician/ Wed, 15 Jun 2022 12:50:07 +0000 https://www.adomonline.com/?p=2126498 Celebrated artiste Joe Mettle has lamented the neglect of gospel musicians with respect to sponsorship and other investments.

The artiste said he was currently feeling the heat as all his efforts to bring investors to his side are proving futile.

Joe Mettle recounted how investors who had assured him of their help during his last concert backed out at the last minute, for whatsoever reasons.

Speaking to Andy Dosty on Daybreak Hitz, Tuesday, he believes the reason for the unfortunate setback is managerial focus on the part of the investors, which may not have aligned well his brand.

He also touted business uncertainties and the economic setbacks COVID has caused as one of the reasons some investors hold back from gospel musicians but are eager to sponsor secular artistes.

He, however, believes his genre as a gospel artiste should not limit his chances of receiving ambassadorial deals, as he has a high following on social media.

“In terms of what companies want, maybe brand association or value, we have the numbers for it but they aren’t coming. Companies belong to people and they make the decision based on what they want but I think it’s unfair,” he said.

In his stance, he is not ready to push too much so as not to look desperate before investors.

Joe Mettle replies Ras Kuuku http://34.58.148.58/joe-mettle-replies-ras-kuuku/ Tue, 22 Mar 2022 22:55:25 +0000 https://www.adomonline.com/?p=2094300 Gospel musician, Joe Mettle, has reacted to dancehall musician Ras Kuuku’s statement that he doesn’t deserve to be in the Artiste of the Year category in this year’s Vodafone Ghana Music Awards.

According to him, he believes all the musicians who made it to the list are potential winners, hence there is no need for him to be worried about critics.

Joe Mettle added that, even if he is substituted with another nominee, the brouhaha wouldn’t be cancelled.

One thing he noted was that he didn’t file for the nomination but his manager did it on his behalf.

There is a a criteria they used… so if the organisers think you fit that’s what makes them nominate you. There are lots of things that happen at the background and the fact that they are not out there doesn’t mean they not happening. There is music and there is work and I think I haven’t been posting most of my works here.

Anyone in the category can win. Don’t underestimate anyone. People have those they are rooting for so I can win and anyone else can too.

When he was asked what his reaction was after chancing on Ras Kuuku’s statement, Joe Mettle said he laughed.

When I saw it I laughed. If he was also nominated they would do the same thing. No matter who happens to be there… there are times that people don’t deserve to be in a category every year. I dont think this is new in terms of how people feel.

Additionally, the Bo Noo Ni hitmaker said he has grown a tough skin for negative critics, hence critics against his Artiste of the Year nomination don’t get to him.

I guess it comes with the work. Everyone will not be happy with you. Whether you win or lose, people will have their issues. if you are worried about people, it can take too much energy out of you so life goes on.

Fameye not Joe Mettle should be in the ‘Artiste of the Year’ category – Ras Kuuku slams VGMA board http://34.58.148.58/fameye-not-joe-mettle-should-be-in-the-artiste-of-the-year-category-ras-kuuku-slams-vgma-board/ Mon, 21 Mar 2022 14:09:28 +0000 https://www.adomonline.com/?p=2093741 Reggae & Dancehall musician Ras Kuuku has questioned the credibility of the organisers of the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA) after they nominated Joe Mettle in the Artiste of the Year category.

According to him, he cannot fathom why Joe Mettle has over the years been nominated in the category when his works doesn’t amount to the value for him to be honoured as such.

The nominees in the tight category were King Promise, Kuami Eugene, Sarkodie, Black Sherif, KiDi and Joe Mettle.

Talking further on the Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM, Ras Kuuku said Joe Mettle’s Ye Obua Mi song can never be rated over Fameye’s Praise song, hence its apt for Fameye to be in the Artiste of the Year category and not Joe Mettle.

Earlier, Ras Kuuku took to his social media pages to query if the VGMA award scheme belongs to Joe Mettle only.

Everyone did well but in terms of Joe Mettle we want to know what he actually did for him to be there. Just like when he won Artiste of the Year years ago. I never knew him until he won it at that time.

Joe Mettle did nothing last year and it’s a fact. I’m not supposed to listen to gospel songs before I know a hit song.

According to Ras Kuuku, the VGMA board failed to nominate his Fakye song though he was the most active Reggae/Dancehall musician.

The board said I did nothing so I wasn’t nominated. If you are not being nominated it means your work didn’t catch up to what they are looking for. I filed for nomination for my Fakye song.

Can you tell me Joe Mettle’s hit song…? My Fakye was released around June, July last year and I filed for Reggae Dancehall song of the Year. I can see most of the reggae dancehall DJs complaining.

Is it because it is bashing the politicians? I am not complaining about mine. When I saw Artiste of the Year and I saw Joe Mettle without Fameye…Which of Joe Mettle’s songs can match Fameye’s Praise? Joe Mettle is a good composer but the truth is what did he do to win that?

Joe Mettle being in the Artiste of the Year category is an insult to all musicians in Ghana – Ras Kuuku. Didn’t Fameye work last year? That Praise song isn’t it big enough to be in the Artiste of the Year?

According to him, there is no way some churches will be tempted into such an idea because it shifts them away from their original mission and vision in Christianity.

The labels are based on the vision of a particular church and leadership… I hear people compare ours to other churches outside… but for instance my church’s priority is missions. Take it out and they do nothing.

MORE:

The Bo Noo Ni hitmaker asked Ghanaians not to raise their hopes high or whip big churches over record labels because they indirectly support gospel musicians.

I get it that is the core duty of the church… but there is a way to go about it… a church was using my song for one event and someone said if not for that, he didn’t know I was the one...

He explained that saying: Until we get that level of support, they can start in any of the small ways they can because if it is not the pastor’s vision. There is no way it will happen.

In an interview with Andy Dosty on Daybreak Hitz, Joe Mettle said the media sometimes spreads negative rumours around before making further probes into them.

According to him, the practice goes a long way to destroy the reputation of the artistes who are caught in such webs.

We drag them sometimes but we see it as showbiz and we come back and say they are not where we expect them to be. There are a lot of these things that contribute to the drag of these artists. Sometimes even though the media works with the stories, I think research has to be done… he said.

Joe Mettle has been a victim of the unfortunate practice of some media institutions and appears to be advocating for it to be stopped.

He made reference to reports that flooded social media following his marriage on August 15, 2020.

Mrs Mettle was rumoured to be pregnant before their wedding, claims which attracted a lot of attention from fans and followers.

People still ask me about my children. The two children they said my wife has; people still ask me. I’ve actually caught people several times who are looking to see if my wife’s belly is protruded…, he explained.

Joe Mettle bemoans that it is very worrying that these media outlets don’t come out to retract their publications after the real truth comes out in the full glare of the public.

Joe Mettle has released his new album titled The Experience’, a compilation of inspiring songs.

The 13-track body of work has songs composed in the English, Twi, and Ga dialects, and features melodic contributions from great artists across the globe and his Love Gift Band.

‘The Experience’ comes in time to commemorate ten years since Mettle’s first album was birthed, and does well to showcase the unique and skillful abilities of his committed backing vocalists, The Love Gift as well as celebrated Gospel artists from around the world.

According to him, it is better to hold the peace than allow themselves to be used by some politicians who are self-centered and only think about themselves.

Don’t allow anyone push you into something they won’t do. If they ask you to do it, tell them to join you, he said plainly.

Additionally, the ‘Bo No Ni’ hitmaker said he couldn’t fathom why someone would want to cause confusion when they can’t do it themselves.

He explained that Ghanaians have only one home and if we destroy it, we won’t have anywhere to go. If anyone says anything that will cause confusion you can report them.

The gospel minister said he is organising a seven-day prayer service, ‘Sing Over Ghana’, on November 7, 2020, to ward off any evil set to create confusion on the election day.

“I wanna organise a prayer and worship service for the election. We call it ‘Sing over Ghana.’ It’s gonna be back to back performances and prayer for different sets of audiences at ICGC Open Heavens Temple, Adjiringanor,” he said.
