Contemporary Ghanaian gospel musician, Hermon Cyrus Kwesi Nhyira Oteng, better known by the stage name Cwesi Oteng has disclosed that he played a significant role in elevating the financial standards within the Ghanaian gospel fraternity.
According to him, he pioneered the shift towards higher compensation for gospel musicians within the industry, emphasizing that he was the first Ghanaian gospel artist to charge 15 Ghana cedis and implement a 50 cedis ticket fee for his events.
The “God Wey Dey Bless Me” hitmaker made this known while speaking in an interview with Afia Coke on Xzone on TV XYZ. Reflecting on the early 2000s, he highlighted, “I was the first person to pay Danny Nettey GHs600.”
Additionally, the renowned crooner claimed to be the first artist to provide financial compensation ranging from 200 to 300 cedis to fellow gospel artists, a practice that was uncommon during that period.
