Popular Ghanaian Gospel singer, Joyce Blessing, has opened up about how her working relationship with Kwasi Ernest started.
In a recent interview, Joyce disclosed that she first texted the CEO of Media Excel, Kwasi Ernest, through Facebook.
Before texting the Media Excel boss, she recalled having texted many producers who did not respond. However, Kwasi Ernest finally replied to her message.
“I texted Media Excel Productions on Facebook, I didn’t know anyone when I came to Accra. I started following most producers, so from time to time I kept checking if any of them had responded to my messages. Along the line, God intervened for Ernest to respond to my message. At that time, I had already shot my first video, so I managed to send him the song, and he said I’m good.
“Then he said he has gone on break for production, but let’s see how we would go about it. I kept texting him until one day, he asked me to come to his office. When I got there, that’s when he took his time to watch my music video. He told me that I’m good and if I should get the chance, I would hit. Since he was on break for production, he couldn’t give me a 100% assurance that he can help me but we should wait and see how things will go,” she said on UTV.
Upon noticing how serious she was, the ‘Repent’ singer averred Ernest extended a helping hand.

“I was able to gather some money, so I asked him to go pay Metro TV for me for promotions, and that’s when he realised how serious I was. He intended to help me fully, but he told me to help myself while he also supported me along the way.
“We started with a photoshoot, did a couple of things, and I eventually began live worship. Then I got the opportunity to explore. No one knew me, so it was the live worship that helped. Everyone who heard me sing said I was good, so they kept calling me to come and perform. It’s been a struggle because sometimes they’d call me, but there was no money for transport,” she recounted.
Joyce Blessing praised Kwasi Ernest and expressed how grateful she was.
“I didn’t give up and Ernest supported me through it all and I will always be thankful for him. I got noticed by people and media houses because of him. Whenever he’s going to the media houses, he took me along. Then he will tell producers about me that I’m good so they should play my music, which really helped because people started noticing me.”
The Gospel singer further extended praise to her ex-husband, Dave Joy, for his contribution, which led to the success attained in her musical journey.
