Secular musicians are spiritually empty

Secular-turned gospel musician, Yaw Siki, has advised up-and-coming musicians to reconsider pursuing secular music solely for fame and financial gain.

Speaking in an interview with Nana Romeo on Okay FM on February 24, 2026, Yaw Siki stated that many secular musicians are fully aware that their craft is driven by money rather than purpose.

According to him, his assertion is based on personal experience, having once been deeply involved in secular music before giving his life to Christ.

“Musicians who sing secular songs for people to be happy, we are aware they’re doing it for the money because I’ve been there before,” he said.

Yaw Siki urged new entrants into the music industry to carefully evaluate their choices, especially those who are not yet established.

“If you’re now coming into the industry, it’s not too late. If you’re not big like the A-list artistes, don’t bother yourself to be a secular artiste,” he advised.

He further noted that it becomes more difficult for artistes to repent or switch to gospel music after attaining fame due to the sacrifices and hard work invested in building their brands.

“It’s sometimes difficult to repent when artistes get the fame and it’s due to how they toiled hard to get to that point,” he shared.

The gospel minister encouraged secular artistes who may feel called to serve God not to fear losing fame, money, or public admiration.

“You should understand that God can restore whatever you would lose while trying to move away from the secular world,” he said.

Yaw Siki also claimed that many top-tier secular artistes, despite appearing successful and happy, feel spiritually unfulfilled.

“Every A-list secular artiste knows that they’re empty even though they seem happy and making more money. They’re empty because they’re not doing what God wants them to do,” he noted.

He then urged artistes to focus on fulfilling their divine purpose, emphasizing that true satisfaction comes from spiritual alignment rather than worldly success.

“They shouldn’t be scared of what they’ll lose or the people who will criticize them. If they’re able to serve their purpose in life, they’ll be satisfied spiritually and physically,” he added.
