The mercy project album is believed by many to be a ground breaking album for contemporary gospel music in Ghana first and Africa. 

Everything about this work was daring and selfless from the start.

This album was not launched, there was no ceremony to ask anyone for support. 

I made a decision not to launch albums after my first experience with album launch when people were sitting down when the smallest amounts were called, so Decided no more album launches.

I felt like I was doing a bad thing because no one supported me. 

So for the mercy project album I decided not to launch it but give it out for free. 

After all it was music from the underground, I had nothing to loose aside investing so much money. 

I went to the tema motorway with a thousand CDs that anyone who paid their road fare should get a free copy. 

When I was invited to sing at places I had people at the gates to give free copies to the attendees to take home. 

I would pour hundreds of CDs and ask people to come for a copy for free no offering. 

Then suddenly something started to shift not only for my team and I but for a whole generation. 

The mercy Project album had songs like But for your Mercy

Kabiyesi 

Meyewode

God dey bless me

Lord your are good

And others.


I Just saw the album art on the internet and decided to share my little journey story.
