It common these days to find young gospel musicians,no doubt about it.Every musician has a motive and challenges.
Young and talented kumasi-based gospel sensation,Paa Boateng,started as an instrumentalist until he discovered his talent and love as singer at age nine.
At the age of 15,he came out with the album,Onyame ba,which had eight sensational tracks,including Nkuguo,Me hia agyenkwa and M'aso ne mu,all under New Age Records in 2006.
In 2007,after he had completed his Junior High School(JHS)education,he came out with his second album,Ohia Abaaba,which also had eight hit tracks,such as Maye Hyira and OyeOnyame,among others,with the same producer,Mr.Eric Apreko Gyamfi,CEO of New Age Ventures.
Paa Boateng,the last born of the late Rev.John Jude Mensah and the late Jemima Agyenim Boateng,belives he was anointed by God to do his work.And,this may partly account for why everyone who hears his songs onders how'a young boy'could sing this way'.
After his second album,Paa embarked on a tour in Europe to minister the word of God through music and thus performed with the likes of Christiana Love,Ernest Opoku,Ohemaa Mercy and Kwaku Gyasi.
"i've been silent for the past three years because i was ministering the word of God through music and also,scheduled my time for music according to my calender",he said.
But,he is now out with his third album titled Kokrokoo which seeks to adore how great God is."We must worship and praise God because even cocks are praising him",remarked Paa in an interview with Spectator Agoro,last Thursday.
Some of the songs on the nine-track album are Yie ne adoye and Aseda.He admires musicians like Ohemaa Mercy,Christiana Love,Jane and Bernice,Soul Winners,Oware Junior but do not wish to be exactly like them.
"i like them but don't want to be myself",he told Spectator Agoro.
Although he is a gospel musician, he really enjoys listening to musicians like Echo,Obrafour,Praye,Asem,Richie and Okyeame Kwame.
