Accra, Aug.30, GNA – Ghanaian-born, US-based gospel artiste Nana Yaa Otchere, known by her stage name Mz Nana has won the Gospel Artiste of the Year USA at the 2024 Ghana Music Awards-USA.
She received this accolade during this year’s Ghana Music Awards-USA colourful awards gala held at the Grand Resort Hotel, Mount Laurel, New Jersey.
The sensational gospel musician was recognised for depth vocal prowess on her soul-stirring single “Oma Ne Nsa So,” which captivated the believers of Christ.
In her words, Mz Nana said she created the “Oma Ne Nsa So” single to remind listeners that “at His own appointed time, God would lift His mighty hand over every difficult situation and grant us eternal peace and victory”.
The accompanying music video for “Oma Ne Nsa So,” shot by Tyron Films, has been gaining traction on YouTube, further cementing her impact in the gospel music scene.
Mz Nana’s journey in gospel music began at a young age in Ghana, where she sang at Sunday schools and youth conventions at the Church of Pentecost with her grandmother.
Her passion for singing and her faith grew as she joined the Kings Chapel Vine Yard in Madina, Accra, where she became an integral part of the praise and worship team.
Currently, Mz Nana serves as a praise and worship leader at the International Miracle Chapel in Burtonsville, Maryland, and has been supported by her husband, Dr. Francis Otchere, who is also the executive producer behind the Otchere’s production.
As Mz Nana continues to make waves in the gospel music industry, her victory at the recently held Ghana Music Awards-USA is a testament to her hard work, faith, and dedication.
