In recent times, one of the hot debates in the music space has been whether gospel musicians should collaborate with secular artistes.
While some argue that it taints the ministry of gospel, others believe music is universal and there’s nothing wrong with such partnerships.
Adding her voice to the conversation, award-winning gospel singer Piesie Esther, has emphatically stated that she sees nothing wrong with gospel artistes working with their secular counterparts.
Speaking in an interview on Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM, Monday, September 15, 2025, the gospel star explained that a secular musician writing for or collaborating with a gospel artiste does not take away from the purpose of the song. To her, what matters is the message and impact.
She used her latest project, Nyame Ye, as an example, highlighting how highlife singer Kuami Eugene played a key role in its creation. According to Piesie Esther, Kuami Eugene not only helped with the lyrics but also worked on the beats, sounds, and arrangement, which shaped the beauty of the song.
“When you work with him you won’t notice a difference, that he’s a secular musician and you are a gospel singer. He loves God and God’s work, you know. I talk to him and you will see that he has God at heart. So far as the song he’s written can win a soul for Christ and promote the kingdom, he deserves all the accolades,” she stressed.
Piesie Esther further praised Kuami Eugene’s dedication, recalling how he went all out to ensure the production came out excellent. She revealed that after listening to the final output, she was overwhelmed with satisfaction.
“He did so well and went all out to make sure the song was nice. He really outdid himself for me,” she added.

Kuami Eugene, who has written for several gospel singers including Joyce Blessing, Empress Gifty, and Piesie Esther herself, continues to show versatility across genres. For Piesie Esther, collaborations like these should not be frowned upon but rather celebrated if the result glorifies God.
