Popular Ghanaian Record producer, David Kojo Kyei aka Kaywa has slammed churches that discriminate against secular musicians.
According to him, it is hypocritical that society does not accept secular music while accepting other secular jobs, adding that the music business is not evil.
He is speaking on Takoradi’s Connect FM about the difficulties he faces in balancing his work as a sound engineer with his responsibilities as a certified preacher of the gospel.

“I always say this, I can compare my job to that of a doctor, a politician or a lawyer. I don’t call where I find myself a challenge. You are not accepted in the church if you make secular music, but if you have a secular job like the doctor, you are given a front role to sit in church. A lawyer can defend a thief in court and he will be accepted in the church. But if you record love songs as a musician, the church is against it. It’s unfortunate.”
The man of God went on to explain that his passion for the gospel work and ministry were not in conflict. Plus it’s not a sin to do God’s work in helping people succeed in their (music) careers.
“All these are religious practices. I do a lot for free (production) because of my passion for the job. Sometimes I find someone who is good and I want to help. I like to contribute to people’s success. I don’t think about the money.”
He advises everyone to focus until the focus is on you and accepting Christ as their Lord and Savior.
