Mavis Asante is a popular gospel musician
Popular Ghanaian gospel singer Mavis Asante has revealed that she does not charge her colleagues when they invite her to minister at their events.
She said this during a recent interview on Joy Prime, where she disclosed that she has never demanded money for performing at events organised by her colleagues.
When asked about her band members, Mavis Asante stated that she often forgoes her band when performing at such occasions because her colleagues already know the nature of the work and make preparations.
“It’s free. When it’s with a colleague musician, I normally don’t go with my band. Because they know the nature of the work, they make sure they provide good instrumentalists,” she stated.
‘You can’t release a song and sleep’ – Mavis Asante tells colleagues
Mavis added that while some might offer to send her a token after the performance, she politely declines unless the gift was sent without prior discussion.
“Some of them, when you finish, they’ll call you to send you something but I’m like, ‘no, I’m not interested.’
“Unless you sent it before telling me that ‘Oh, I’ve sent you something.’ But if you ask me before you want to send it, I’ll tell you it’s okay,” she said.
Asked to explain the motives for her ministering for free, she stated, “The person is my colleague. I might need him or her for my own show. With me, when you are my colleague and musician and you invite me for a show, I don’t charge.”
