Ghanaian gospel singer, Efe Grace has disclosed that she used to be a secular artist before becoming a gospel singer.
Speaking in an interview, she revealed that she used to be a Jazz singer at a popular Ghanaian hotel in Kumasi until she later found her way to the gospel music fraternity.
“I used to be a secular artist before doing full-time ministry. I was a jazz singer working at Golden Tulip in Kumasi. So that’s how come I got into that. It wasn’t difficult I just had to learn the songs and sing them”.
Efe Grace further explained that she had to become a gospel singer because that was her calling and she couldn’t run away from it anymore.
“I believe that we were made to worship God, and God gave me this voice to show forth his glory. So, whether I like it or not, I was created for this and I found my way back. It has been great so far and I thank God”.

“Actually, Rev. Mensah Bonsu is my biological father. I am his first child. When we sent the song to him and he listened he was like ‘wow, is this my song?’ He was very happy and glad about it. He hasn’t criticized my music yet and whatever he has said so far has been positive”.
She also mentioned that her father gave her a lot of experience and exposure after he discovered that she can sing.
“My dad gave me so much experience and exposure, so far as music is concerned. He took me along where ever he went as a backing vocalist”.
