In a time when many gospel musicians have different views on bending faith with mainstream entertainment, Ghanaian Afro-gospel artist Scott Evans is firm in his stance.
Speaking on Hitz FM’s Praise Zone with Nii Noi, the “Grateful” hitmaker made it clear when asked if he had ever considered switching to secular music, saying, “If I ever get the chance to be a secular artiste, I’d rather sell plantain by the roadside instead. There’s nothing appealing in it for me,” he said confidently.
Scott Evans explained that his purpose in gospel music goes beyond charts or trends; it’s about touching lives with a message of hope. For him, no amount of fame or money is worth giving up his devotion to God, as he continues to reaffirm his strong commitment to his Christian faith.
“There’s no pressure on me at all. I’m just serving a King and sharing His message with the people,” he shared. “My goal is to reach those who truly need the word of God. Even if one soul is moved, there’s a celebration in heaven, and that’s enough for me.”
When asked if he ever regrets choosing Afro-gospel over secular music, his response was clear, “No, I don’t regret doing Afro-Gospel. If I were doing secular music, I would have been depressed,” he said, explaining that the constant need for hit songs in the secular scene can exhaust artists.

“Secular musicians rely on hit songs to stay relevant in the industry. If you don’t have a hit song all the time, you won’t be noticed,” he noted, stressing that his peace of mind and purpose are far more important than popularity.
Scott Evans is currently getting ready for his annual event, Grace Is Luxury Concert III, which will take place on Saturday, November 15, 2025, at the Unique Floral Prestige Court in Tema Community 9.
