Piesie Esther has advised young gospel artistes to brace themselves for the difficulties of the industry, reminding them that success requires both spiritual grounding and personal strength.
Speaking with Joy Prime’s Roselyn Felli on the Changes show, the Ghanaian gospel singer reflected on what she feels is missing among today’s young gospel singers. She pointed out that toughness and a strong faith are indispensable qualities for anyone hoping to last in the field.
“In this industry, you need to be tough and hold on to God tightly because when you adhere to God’s will, He takes care of your needs for you. If you don’t toughen or harden yourself in this workspace, I tell you that you won’t be able to survive,” she said.

Having spent more than two decades in gospel music, Piesie Esther has faced both support and opposition. She admitted that criticism and the behaviour of others could easily have discouraged her, but she remained focused on her calling.
“I have encountered a lot of things, and God has brought us this far. Sometimes, the attitude some people show you makes you feel like you don’t belong. But when you know where you’re going, you’ll not allow anybody to cause you to lose focus,” she explained.
The singer encouraged emerging artistes to remain prayerful, resilient, and committed to their purpose, assuring them that determination and faith will eventually carry them through.
