“I Don’t Depend on Royalties” – Joyce Blessing Shares Her Financial Strategy

Ghanaian Gospel musician Joyce Blessing has revealed that she does not depend solely on music royalties for her livelihood.

In a recent interview on GTV’s Breakfast Show,  the award-winning singer highlighted the challenges musicians face with royalty payments in Ghana. She noted that while the Ghana Music Rights Organization (GHAMRO) is responsible for collecting royalties, the system is not always reliable enough for artists to depend on for steady income.

To ensure financial stability, Joyce Blessing disclosed that she has diversified her income streams, including a 10-acre cocoa farm, which supports her beyond her music career. She also expressed interest in exploring other ventures, stating she might have pursued different interests had she furthered her education

The gospel diva further made known her neutrality in politics, clarifying that while she’s not affiliated with any political party, she would perform at rallies if invited, prioritizing her love for Ghana.

Joyce Blessing further credited her success to her natural voice, adding that fatigue is the only factor that affects her singing. She concluded the interview by introducing her latest song, Over Do.
