Diana Asamoah's musical projects

The award-winning gospel artist began her career in the mid-1990s after meeting Rev. Simon Yaw Boamah in Kumasi. Together, they released her first album, Wo na Mani Agyina Wo. Her career took off after Mr Anane Frimpong of Frimprince Music Productions decided to support her.

Diana Asamoah has since released nine albums, including Mabo Wo Din, dedicated to former President John Agyekum Kufuor, and Pentecost Gya, which topped the charts for months. Other works include Gospel Old Tunes 2, Madanse Die, Pentecost Soree Nwom, and Tetelesta, which remains popular in Ghana.

She has achieved several milestones in her career. Diana Asamoah organised the first African worship concert in Italy and won awards in the European country and Belgium as well for her contributions to gospel music. In 2006 and 2008, she was named Best Gospel Artist in Ghana. She also made history by launching an album with high-ranking officials, including parliamentarians, in attendance.

Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh speaks on language barrier in music

YEN.com.gh caught up with popular entertainment pundit and music analyst Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh shared his thoughts on language barrier in the music scene and whether it was important for artistes to make English-oriented songs. He said:

"I don’t think we need to force people to adopt a language in their music; rather, we should do what they feel. Music is a feeling more than words and sometimes the feeling is more important than the language used. However, if you are an artist who aims for global success, singing in English gives you a much bigger audience to appeal to."
