Michael Kesse Frimpong, widely known as Kesse, has revealed that his shift from secular music to the gospel genre was prompted by a series of persistent, divine encounters.
The musician, who gained prominence after winning Season 4 of TV3’s Mentor and Season 2 of Project Fame West Africa, disclosed that he began receiving prophecies about his calling everywhere he went.
He admitted to being a regular patron of nightclubs and a highly popular figure, but even in these settings, people would approach him. They consistently told him that a major calling was on his life and urged him to abandon his current path.
“There were so many prophecies surrounding my life. People kept telling me I would be an ordained minister of God. Some specified I would be a prophet. There were countless dreams. These conversations were relentless—everywhere I went, I heard about this. Even children were prophesying about my calling. At weddings, events, and even in commercial vehicles while preachers spoke, they kept telling me I would be a prophet.”
Kesse interpreted these events as God’s direct way of speaking to him, leaving him with no option but to obey. Despite his public image, he acknowledged being a stubborn individual.
“I was a fixture at nightclubs. If you mention my name in Dansoman, people can recount my history of clubbing. It was difficult for me to give up that life, but ultimately, I had no choice but to do so,” he said on the midmorning show on Rainbow Radio 87.5FM with host Eddie Ray.
He noted that some individuals experience a divine calling through different means, such as surviving terrible accidents. For him, however, the shift was purely spiritual.
“Women were giving me all the praise; I was the talk of the town, and it was incredibly difficult to leave all these things behind. I was going everywhere there was fun, but I was relieved of all those attachments after having that encounter with the Supreme One.”
Kesse stated that following Jesus inevitably leads to persecution. He noted that the insults he receives for accepting Christ and abandoning his old lifestyle are severe.
“I do TikTok live sessions, and the way people insult me is terrible. They constantly tell me that Christ does not exist and that I should go find a job. But I know the encounter I had, and so I will not allow these negative comments to distract me.”
He now describes himself as a son of God using his platform—both music and preaching—to promote the kingdom and win souls.
“I am a son of God who is using both music and preaching to sell Christ. I am a follower of Jesus.”
