Piesie Esther is a Ghanaian gospel musician
Ghanaian gospel musician, Piesie Esther, has disclosed that her songwriting process is entirely natural and often spontaneous.
Speaking in an interview on Hitz FM on November 13, 2025, Piesie Esther noted that she often receives lyrical inspiration at unexpected moments.
She explained that she does not rely on other writers because she is able to compose her own music through God’s grace.
“Every day, people are calling, recording and sending us lots of songs. I’m not singing them because I have enough. Anytime that I want to write a song, I’m able to do it by the grace of God. Nobody taught me how to write songs,” she said.
When asked about how she gets her inspiration, Piesie Esther shared that her ideas come to her randomly and she captures them immediately, regardless of where she is.
“I get my inspirations randomly. I record bit by bit. There was one time I came up with a line in the bathroom, and I had to record it on my phone,” she stated.

The musician disclosed that the popular lyric “Tell me where will I be” was conceived in the bathroom, prompting her to grab her phone instantly.
“`Tell me where will I be’, I got this line of the lyrics from the bathroom. I remember when I got the words, I recorded it on my phone immediately.
“If my phone is not close to me, I would just call my husband to get the phone for me so no matter where I am, my phone is always close to me,” she said.
Piesie Esther added that prayer and divine guidance play a major role in her creative process.
“One thing I thank God for is that I go before God for direction of lyrics before writing a song. God being so good, without knowing what to do, a word will just drop into my ears. Before I realise, I’ve gotten the whole lyrics,” she added.
