Gospel singer and pastor, MOGmusic, has revealed the key figure behind the success of his New Wine Concert since its inception in 2015.
He disclosed that the Founder and Apostle General of Royalhouse Chapel International, Rev. Sam Korankye Ankrah, played a significant role in organizing the concert by funding the first three editions and has remained a strong supporter throughout its existence.
Speaking in an interview on Joy Prime’s Changes with Roselyn Felli on Friday, March 21, 2025, the gospel minister shared how the Apostle’s mentorship and generosity shaped his career.
“I met the Apostle Rev. Sam Korankye Ankrah, and my service to his vision touched his heart. He told me that he would help me. So, I submitted to his leadership, and I can say for three years straight when I started doing New Wine, he single-handedly financed everything. The seed money I used for my first album, he gave it to me to produce that album, and I owe my success to Rev. Sam Korankye Ankrah,” he recounted.
The Mala songwriter further noted that the Apostle invested time, money, prayer, and counsel while instilling discipline, which contributed to his breakthrough in several higher places.
“He led the way, and obviously, it’s been upward ever since,” MOGmusic added.
Born Nana Yaw Boakye, MOGmusic has produced several acclaimed gospel songs, earning multiple awards, including the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards Male Vocalist of the Year in 2020 and 2021.
For over a decade, he has inspired Ghanaians and gospel music lovers with spirit-filled songs at his New Wine concert. This year, Kumasi has already had its experience, while Accra is set to witness it on March 30 at the First Love Church.
The 2025 Accra edition will feature Joe Mettle, Obaapa Christy, Pastor Isaiah Fosu-Kwakye Jnr, Barry Neequaye, and Quame Gyedu.
