Celebrated Ghanaian gospel artiste Diana Hamilton has opened up about the inspiration behind her highly awaited song Aha Ye, which features veteran musician Elder Mireku.

Speaking in an interview on TV3, later shared on X on February 5, 2026, she explained that the partnership happened naturally rather than through prior arrangements.

Diana Hamilton explained that the song emerged during a worship session at Elder Mireku’s home, noting that working together on the track felt seamless.

“It happened from the onset. When I started writing it, I found myself in Elder Mireku’s house, and we were writing the song and just worshipping. Then the song came to my mind. I put it in and realised that even though it is an all-English song, there is something he is doing that is bringing the song alive,” she said.

Recounting how South African gospel artiste Ntokozo was later included, Diana Hamilton said her participation also happened spontaneously.

She stated that Ntokozo came to mind unexpectedly, and when she contacted her about joining the project, she readily accepted the offer.

“But when I thought of Ntokozo, I remembered we were driving, and then she came to mind. That was when I knew it was her and how easily it all came together.

“When I called her, she said, ‘I don’t need to hear it, I’m on it, just tell me when.’ She didn’t ask to hear the song until a few days before she was about to fly down, and that was when she said, ‘When you’re done with the song, can I listen?’” she added.

Several months ago, the musician explained why she doesn't consider herself a musician by profession despite her widespread success.

According to her, she always goes back to nursing and doesn't solely define her career by music.

“I struggle to say I am doing music professionally because I am not. That is why I would always go back to nursing. I never said this is the right time.

Anywhere I saw the microphone, and I was given a chance, I picked it,” she emphasized.

She discovered her love for music at a very early age,highlighting how she'd turn every text, or message into a song when given the least opportunity.

She recounted how “whenever they gave me a long list to recite something, I would turn it into a song”.

“I remember in church, at 13, I took the microphone to sing because it was my birthday and my teacher had taught me a song, and I sang it. But even prior to that, she recounted.

Nursing she insists is a calling she says.
