Diana Shares How She Benefitted From COVID-19 Pandemic
Award-winning Ghanaian gospel artist, Diana Hamilton shared how the COVID-19 pandemic turned out to be a blessing in disguise for her, as she was able to achieve many things during the lockdown period.
The singer, who won the Artiste of the Year and Gospel Artiste of the Year at the 2021 Ghana Music Awards, revealed that she had a great year as the world battled the pandemic.
She stated that the pandemic gave her time to wait on God, work on her music, and also be at home with her family.
“I had a great year. I think it was kind of due to COVID. I finished the Awake Experience in 2020, in February and then I went back to the UK, and then Covid just took over. It gave me time to wait on God. It gave me time to just work, but then also be at home. And so by 2021, we were seeing the fruit of the times that God had given us in that year. And we’re just grateful,” she recalled.
She also revealed that she had the chance to work on other projects, including the opening of a clothing line, DH by DH, which was something she had always wanted to do but never had the time.
“For me, it was just a lot of things…I even had the chance to open a clothing line, something that I should have done way earlier. It kind of gave me time to sit back. I wrote songs, and since that time, we’ve been releasing them back to back,” she said.
She expressed her gratitude to God for making her year fruitful, despite the challenges posed by the pandemic.
