Music is not my Business, It is my Ministry – Mc Abraham

Legendary gospel musician Mc Abraham has opened up about his perspective on music and its role in his life. When asked about his views on the music industry, he made a striking statement: “Honestly, everyone knows that music is not my business; it is my ministry.”

During an appearance on Opemsuo Radio’s Oseikrom Kwanso with Mac De President, Mc Abraham emphasized that it is a divine assignment, and for that reason, he has even refused to quantify it.

Although a member of the Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA), he revealed that royalties hold little importance to him because he places his trust in God’s provision.

He said the royalties would not even be enough to take care of his family, especially his children’s education.

“It is my ministry, so I don’t quantify that I sang and got this money. I am part of MUSIGA, but I don’t talk about royalties because, where God has brought me to, if you mention royalties, it’s somehow.”

“I am entitled to that, but that’s not what I think about. If I were to depend on royalties, I would have suffered. My children are going to school—three are in the university and some in senior high school—and the royalties for the whole year might be 3,000, while I may have spent 100,000 on my children. So why would I consider royalties? For a long time, God can testify that that’s not where I look. It is someone else’s business, and they are serious about it, but I’m not concerned about it.”

Mc Abraham is renowned for timeless gospel hits such as Mmebusem, Akwaaba, Halleluyah, Adee Akye, Hye Wakono So, and Chacha.
