Piesie Esther, a gospel singer, believes that she has put in more effort than anyone else in the competition to win this year’s Artiste of the Year award at the Ghana Music Awards.
The ‘W’aye Me Yie’ crooner made the assertion in an interview with Graphic Showbiz at the Nomination announcement celebration held at the Grand Arena of the Accra International Convention Centre (AICC) yesterday, March 18.
According to Piesie, her recent releases are proof that she deserves to win the VGMA Artiste of the Year title.
“Ghanaians know the work I put in last year. I was one of the busiest gospel artistes who played all the major gospel shows in Ghana including private gigs and in the churches.
“I had two successful shows in Accra and Kumasi and from the records, W’aye Meyie stands very tall among other songs by the other artistes.
“W’aye Meyie is a nationwide hit and very popular in every corner of the year,” Piesie Esther confidently told Graphic Showbiz.
Sarkodie, Black Sherif, Camidoh, Stonebwoy, King Promise, Joe Mettle, and KiDi (current Artist of the Year) are just a few of the competitors Piesie Esther will face.
