Popular gospel artiste MOG
Popular gospel artiste Nana Yaw Boakye, also known as MOG, has shared how he abandoned his dream of becoming a computer scientist to pursue gospel music.
In an interview with Adom TV, shared on Instagram on February 25, 2025, MOG revealed that despite studying computer science at the university, he felt compelled to enter ministry to satisfy a deep ‘hunger’ within him.
“After university, I couldn’t enter the corporate world, even though I really wanted to. I studied computer science at the university.
“But the burden of ministry pushed me into obscurity. I had to satisfy that hunger and fulfill the calling placed upon me. So, I sacrificed my corporate aspirations for ministry,” he said.
MOG Music also disclosed that the first-ever event he organised cost him just GH¢500.
According to him, he had limited funds, so the GH¢500 had to cover refreshments, video production, and lighting.
“The first-ever event I held was in Tema, and the total budget was GH¢500. That amount covered video production, lighting, sound, and the band. I used the remaining money for refreshments,” he added.
