Award winning Gospel musician, Celestine Donkor has reiterated that it is pure wickedness for churches to invite gospel musicians for programs without paying them.
Appearing on the mid-morning show on Rainbow Radio 87.5Fm, Celestine Donkor noted that gospel musicians may not be able to charge for church events, the churches should not also take advantage of them.
She explained that anytime she goes to a church to perform, she has to pay the backing vocalists, bandsmen, and other supporting teams hence the need for churches to pay him.
Celestine Donkor said the musician would have to ensure that her team dress well or look good and all these costs would have to come from the musician.
“It is pure wickedness not to bless a gospel singer after he or she performs at an event. It is against the will of God not to bless musicians who perform in churches. Even when we rehearse, we pay for the venue. We pay not less than GHc60 per hour for the venue. The team supporting me should also look good. And when you don’t recognize their efforts, they will not even pick your calls when you need them again. And so, when you don’t bless gospel singers, it is pure wickedness.” she stated.
