Ghanaian-born UK based singer and a songwriter Emmanuel Smith has encouraged young Gospel artiste never give up on their dreams.
According to Smith who was part of the contestants on the ITV hit show ‘The Voice UK’, his mum has been the reason of who he is now and he feels so blessed having a mother who imparted the Love of God in him during his youthful stage.
He blessed God for giving him such a mother and also advised all the upcoming gospel musician in and outside Ghana to keep spreading the ‘good news’ for they shall be rewarded when the time is due.
He cautioned:
“I am blessed to have a mother who instilled the love of God in me at a tender age, and also ensured that I remain grounded in God. She’s always instilled in me the faith to never give up and that’s what I still walk with to date.”
“One of my earliest memories was singing with my childhood friends at a very young age in Tema, we used cooking pots and pans to create instruments as we loved to perform. I was always told that I loved to dance like American artist Bobby Brown. Any song that would come on in church even if it was a slow worship song I would do my ‘Bobby Brown’ dance to it and there was a time a guest preacher gave me money for my dance.”
“That’s one of the things that have helped me. No matter how many times you fail you have to keep going and one day the fruits of your labor will show. Apart from being paid in monetary form one of the things that my career has brought on is the inspirational aspect of my story on how it doesn’t matter what your start in life is as long as you don’t limit yourself anything and everything is possible.”
Emmanuel attended Cambridge international in Kumasi, continued at Swanlea in Aldgate UK. He further went to Kingston University and Southbank University where he studied Media and Cultural Studies.
He has released three singles ‘Weather’ ‘Coming Up’ and ‘Asore ye de’.
Smith is motivated by God, his mother, Sonnie Badu and Joe Mettle.
