Emmanuel Smith boosts Ghana’s gospel voice in UK

Ghanaian born UK-based singer and songwriter Emmanuel Smith is giving his motherland a boost in the gospel music scene in UK and others part of the world with his incredible craft.

The young artiste who has shared the stage with the likes of Stellar Award-winning Jason Nelson, US-based Todd Galberth and other  great personalities, was one of  the contestants on the ITV hit show ‘The Voice UK’,

The Lewisham-bred psalmist was propelled to the attention of a mainstream audience, when he performed on the coveted main stage at ‘Big Church Day Out’ and ‘Festival of Life UK’ held at the ExCel London.

Smith, a proud mummy’s boy, credits his mother for being the most influential person in his life in the words “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 instilled in me the faith to never give up and that’s what I still walk with to date.”

The young artiste, who is passionate about engaging culture and bridging the mainstream gospel divide without compromising the message of Christ, said he desires to give people hope and joy using his talent.

He recalled that, “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. ”

Smith, who is a product of Cambridge International in Kumasi, Swanlea in Aldgate UK and Kingston University and Southbank University where he pursued Media and Cultural Studies, also loves his pencil and canvas because he loves painting and drawing.

In an interview with Smith, he advised the Ghanaian music industry players to keep the industry growing by being consistent and relevant in feeding their fans with their craft.

“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 labour will show,” he said.

He shared the view that, “Apart from being paid in monetary form, one of the things that my career has brought about  is the inspirational aspect of my story of how it doesn’t matter what your start in life is, as long as you don’t limit yourself anything and everything is possible.”

Smith says he is inspired by God, his mother and [the fact that] he is a big fan of Sonnie Badu and Joe Mettle.

He has released three captivating singles which are ‘Weather’, ‘Coming Up’ and ‘Asore ye de’, which are available on all online music shops.
