Accra: Ghanaian gospel musician Brian Kuffour has stated that he is not worried about missing out on nominations for the Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA), stressing that his focus goes beyond accolades.
According to Ghana Web, speaking in an interview on Hitz FM on April 19, 2026, the singer expressed confidence in divine timing, noting that recognition will come at the right moment. 'I'm not disappointed in not getting TGMA nominations. I believe there's time, and when the time is right, God will make it happen,' he said.
Brian Kuffour explained that his perspective reflects the mindset of many gospel musicians, whose work is deeply rooted in faith and spiritual impact rather than awards. 'Sometimes, when gospel artistes speak, it's as if that's how we always talk. Waiting on God and believing in time is what we, gospel musicians, know,' he stated.
He acknowledged that discussions around faith and reliance on the Holy Spirit are sometimes misunderstood, but insisted that such beliefs are central to the gospel music industry. 'I've had a lot of interviews, so when you speak about the Holy Spirit, that the Lord will make things happen at the due time, it looks like people feel that's how we talk or think. That's the reality of our industry,' he shared.
The musician further emphasised that gospel artistes are more concerned about making a meaningful impact on people's lives than chasing recognition. 'We are not really concerned about laurels. We want to make an impact, and at the end of the day, touching lives is more important to us,' he said.
According to him, the core mission of gospel music is to transform lives, help individuals overcome challenges such as addiction, and guide people toward spiritual growth. 'Delivering people, breaking addiction, and ensuring that people are led into the Kingdom is more of a priority than anything else,' he noted.
Brian Kuffour added that the joy derived from positively impacting lives far outweighs any award recognition. 'You can't have any other prize than someone being saved. That gives us more joy than anything else. Our focus is more on that than the laurels,' he added.
