In honour of Danny Nettey

He set the tone for contemporary gospel music and after two decades of nurturing other talents, celebrated gospel artiste, Danny Nettey is set to be honoured for his contribution to the gospel music industry at a ceremony scheduled for the Sunday, May 17 at the National Theatre.

The ceremony which is a collaboration between the KC Entertainment, an event company and Footprint TV,  will bring on one stage the protégés of Danny Nettey which include Joe Mettle, Eugene Zutah, Cwesi Oteng, Nii Okai, Ike Nanor and Pastor Josh Laryea.

A member of the organising team, Fiifi Folson of Sunny FM, told Showbiz that the honour was in “celebration of a man who has dedicated his life to the kingdom of God”. 

Many of these young gospel artistes, he said, learnt the “rudiments of ministry work” from Danny Nettey and so honouring him is in the right direction.

Danny released his debut album, Positive Change, in 1995 which gave him prominence. His style of music endeared him to many young people back then. The following year, he released his second album, Pals.

He later established the About Time Productions Ministries with the aim of training other young talents. 

In the past 20 years, Nettey  has been touching lives through his songs and his work has seen him perform in many parts of the world. He has worked with international artistes such as Ron Kenoly and Richard Thompson who featured him on his song, I Am the Lord.

He has also shared the same stage with renowned gospel artistes like Bishop T. D. Jakes, Bebe Winans, Kirk Franklin, Israel Houghton, Don Moen, and Alvin Slaughter.

Among Nettey’s repertoire of songs are I believe, Adom, My All To You, I am the Lord, I Will Never Leave, It’s Not Hard, Revive Us, God’s Eyes, I Will Worship, Sanctify Me, In Your Presence and Thank You.
