Mavis Esaaba Haizel, a Ghanaian female musician based in the United States, has described gospel music as her calling.
Music, she believes, is a calling from God, and she has no regrets about pursuing it.
When asked what she hopes to achieve with her music, she stated, “As a psychologist, I am convinced that music can be used to help people.”
As a psychologist, she sees music as a means of providing support to those who are depressed or have lost hope.
“It is the same ministry and divinity when you provide counselling to people. Mavis is music, and I am music. I’ve always enjoyed singing. Music is present in my home, and I enjoy making music.”
She told the host that as a gospel musician, she sees herself as a messenger who uses her craft to help people appreciate God and cope with their emotional problems.
She also revealed that she was born with musical talent and that she had to abandon her medical and pharmacy studies to obey God’s voice.
“When I went to the library to learn, I was more interested in writing songs,” she explained.
She claimed I dropped out of medical school because I couldn’t concentrate. That was because I was disobeying God’s voice.
I was able to understand when I left the medical school and entered the psychology school.”
She also stated that she became perplexed after enrolling in psychology school.
She stated that she was given a three-page assignment but was unable to complete it until an angel of the Lord appeared to her and typed it for her.
Because she had obeyed God’s voice, the musician said she saw the angel’s hands typing the assignment for her.
“I aspired to be a medical doctor. I was bright, and all of my friends are now doctors. However, God had other plans for me. I was crying and perplexed, and my laptop was in front of me, with some hands typing my assignment for me. Angel Rafael was the person who typed for me. I didn’t see the person typing, but I did notice their hands.”
Music, according to Mavis Esaaba Haizel, an academic scholar who has received several awards from the US government for her diverse service to humanity, is therapy because it helps individuals achieve individualised goals such as stress reduction, mood improvement, and self-expression.
She stated that music is an evidence-based therapy that is well-established in the medical community in an interview with DJ Slash on Rainbow Radio 87.5FM’s Away Bus Show.
