Accra, June 20, GNA – Ghanaian gospel musician Ishmael Philemon Ackon, better known by his stage as Bro Philemon, is gearing up for an epic comeback in the music industry as he prepares to bless the gospel world again.
The award-winning gospel singer, songwriter, and composer, originally from Takoradi and currently based in China, has had an extended period of low visibility in the gospel music scene.
This left fans wondering where he was and if he had abandoned music entirely.
However, with a renewed focus and a heart full of praise, Bro Philemon claims he is ready to thrill gospel lovers once more with his next projects, which promise the same anointing sound he was known for.
“I’ve been occupied with my business work, which admittedly took me away from the music scene for a while. But I’m back, and I’ve got loads of beautiful, soul-soothing music ready for everyone,” Bro Philemon explained in an interview.
Outside of music, Bro Philemon is a successful entrepreneur, serving as the CEO of P&D MPC HK CO., LTD. in Hong Kong and Philemon’s Supply Management SZ Co. Limited in Shenzhen, China — roles that have contributed to his time away from music but also provided him with fresh inspiration.
Bro Philemon is with a portfolio of premium ventures in the Philippines, including Philemon’s Luxe-Suites Moa and Philemon’s Luxe Suites OMP, an upscale Airbnb hospitality establishment; Wing’s Haven Restaurant Inc., a refined dining destination; and Bella Vida Beauty Studio & Spa Inc., a luxury salon and wellness retreat.
Some of his previously released songs include “It Is Well”, “All The Glory”, “Me Da W’ase (Thank You)”, “Sweetest Name (ft. the legendary Mrs Amy Newman)”, and “Fill Me Up”.
“It is not about doing everything at once but doing everything with purpose,” Bro Philemon said, adding that his comeback would reflect a balanced approach — spirit-led, professionally managed, and globally inspired.
