It is indeed fascinating how gospel singer and praises/worship leader, Gertrude Agyeibea Koranteng (Trudy) switched from becoming an R&B star to a minister of the gospel.
The Media Excel singer in an interview with Black I on ‘Work and Happiness’ on Adom FM has revealed that gospel music was never her thing.
According to her, God led her into ministry because of the purpose He had for her life.
“I wanted to do R&B. Gospel music wasn’t my thing. But God had a different purpose for my life. Though I wasn’t a good singer then, a prophecy came demanding that I join the church choir, and later I became a better singer leading the choir at a point,” she revealed.
The ‘Faith’ singer added: “I remember at one of my ministrations at church, I sang, and a drunkard entered the church and decided to worship with us. So I realized there’s more God will use me to do”.
Trudy is currently promoting her latest single, ‘Faith’.
The song features award-winning gospel singer Kofi Sarpong and had its visuals directed by Skyweb Videos.
‘Faith’ was also produced by Shadrack Yawson and is available now on all digital platforms.
