DO NOT PERFORM FOR FREE – JOYCE BLESSING TO GOSPEL ARTISTES

Arguments keeps on hammering through the debate of gospel artistes charging fees before performing at events.The question trooping from the public is, Is it right or wrong ?

Most gospel artistes are yet to confirm personally whether they charge or not prior events.While some believe the gospel should be free because it was given freely by God.Others posit that the lack of money would suppress and frustrate Christain missionaries and gospel musician who are working to propagate the message of Christ, a reason there should be wages.

One popular gospel artiste,Joyce Blessing has added her voice to the debate,admonishing her colleagues not to perform for free.

Speaking on Showbiz 927,the ‘Agyekum’ hit maker indicated that gospel musicians are into business and should be treated as such.

” it is good,You must charge for performing because everything about music is money .Yes,it is ministry but you exchange money ;so it’s bussiness. You pay for the video to be shown on television.If you argue that it is ministry so we should not charged,at the end of the day,how  can we continue with the work? Pirary is on the ascendency.So for us to be able to continue  with the work,we must charge you.Christians should understand that we have to put in more efforts in spreading the gospel.There should be investment.Why do people sponsor even boxing but are reluctant to sponsor gospel shows?” she queried.
