Kwesi Ernest, a Ghanaian Artiste manager cum Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Media Excel Productions, has urged gospel crooners to deliver the best of themselves when they mount the stage to perform, in order to attract sponsorship from corporate bodies.

Speaking in an interview with Graphic Showbiz, Kwesi Ernest asserted that only a few gospel artistes are able to amass sponsorship due to their large number of fanbase and skills of entertaining when they hit the stage.

He explained by saying, “now that it is not very easy to get corporate bodies to support gospel shows, the onus lies on gospel musicians to do the needful by putting their acts together and making sure that they are attractive enough to catch the eye of sponsors.

The artiste manager further added that, “artistes such as MOGmusic, Diana Hamilton, Ohemaa Mercy, Joe Mettle, Piesie Esther and a few others are doing great out there. However, more needs to be done if we want good sponsorship for gospel events”

Kwesi Ernest also appealed to corporate bodies to be welcoming when gospel musicians seek support from them for their events.

“I don’t want to mention names, but I have been to some of these companies, and it is boldly written at their front desk that they don’t sponsor gospel events. I would want to use this opportunity to encourage them to be welcoming. Sponsorship helps a lot, especially in these hard times,” he hammered.
