Ghanaian gospel artist Obaapa Christy is celebrating the second anniversary of her restaurant, Obaapa Essen, by launching an exciting new initiative aimed at discovering and promoting emerging musical talents.

The contest, named 'Sing Like Obaapa,' is designed to spotlight up-and-coming singers by giving them a platform to perform at the anniversary event on August 5, 2024.

Participants who wish to join the contest have been invited to submit their performances of Obaapa Christy’s songs.

On the event day, the number of contenders will be narrowed down to six, each of whom will perform for two minutes.

From these, five finalists will be chosen to advance to the second round, where they can showcase their versatility by singing a variety of songs.

The final selection will be made by a panel of judges, including Noble Neketia, Fred Kyei Mensah, and Reverend Josephine Agyei.

The top three performers will receive a special recording offer from Obaapa Christy.

According to Nana Kwame Darkwah, Obaapa Christy’s manager, these winners will benefit from personalized songwriting and recording assistance, working with a producer of their choice.

The event will be held at Obaapa Essen, located next to Fisherman’s House at Odorkor - Kaneshie.

Known for her enduring presence in the gospel music scene, Obaapa Christy has captivated audiences with hit songs such as 'W'agye Me,' 'Yare Yeya,' 'Onto Nko,' 'Ma Enye Yie,' and 'The Glory.'
