“My conductor fired me because of my bad singing voice” – Asenso-Boakye | General entertainment

“As a member of the Methodist Church, I have always enjoyed watching the choirs sing, especially when the choristers are walking in the chapel.

As I continued to enjoy this from my childhood, I tried to be a part of the choir, but one day the choirmaster told me not to come back to rehearse because my voice was not good for singing. I knew I didn’t have a good voice, so I succumbed to his instructions.

However, being outside the choir didn’t kill my interest in choral music – I have always supported backing singers wherever I am.

So my creation of the Banatama Youth Choir stems from my love for choral music and my determination to engage the youth of Bantama constituency in worthwhile activities ”.
