Renowned Ghanaian gospel music star Empress Gifty has revealed her incredible journey from being a house help to becoming a prominent figure in the country’s music industry. The gifted singer recently opened up about her challenging beginnings and how she navigated her way through obstacles to achieve her dreams.
Empress Gifty, now acclaimed for her soul-stirring gospel tunes that touch the hearts of many, spoke candidly about her early days as a house help at her mother’s friend’s residence. Despite having an innate love for music, she found herself in a situation where her aspirations didn’t align with the responsibilities of her job. She recounted how her fervent desire to engage in music practice often clashed with the demands of her household chores.
During an interview with Andy Dosty, a well-known radio host, Empress Gifty shared, “Music was in my blood, but my duties at the house made it hard. The lady I was helping didn’t understand my dedication to my music dreams.” This pivotal moment compelled her to reevaluate her path and make a difficult decision to leave her house help role behind.
Embracing her aspirations and the vibrant world of fashion, Empress Gifty chose to bid farewell to her house help role and step into a future that allowed her to fully embrace her love for music and explore the realm of fashion. Reflecting on her journey, she elaborated, “I had to make a tough choice. I had to say goodbye to being a house help and say hello to a world where I could live my music and fashion dreams.”
Empress Gifty’s journey was bolstered by her mother’s unwavering support. With her mother’s encouragement, she transitioned from her domestic role to working alongside her mother in the marketplace. This shift offered her an opportunity to pursue her passion for fashion. Recounting her shift, she revealed, “My mother then asked me to come and help her at the market so she could get me money to go into fashion designing. I had to switch… me being a maid doesn’t say it all that God was not with me. But it was a process that God will give me an unexpected end, and God has been faithful to me.”
The story of Empress Gifty serves as a testament to the power of determination and resilience in the face of adversity. Her journey from being a house help to a gospel music sensation and a rising force in the world of fashion is an inspiring reminder that with passion, support, and an unwavering faith in one’s dreams, it’s possible to overcome any obstacle and achieve greatness.
