Secular music and worldly music are not the same—Kaywa clarifies

Ghanaian music producer, David Kojo Kyei, popularly known as Kaywa has said secular music and worldly music cannot be placed under the same categories.

The singer disapproves of the assumption made by Ghanaians that both music genres are the same.

In an interview with JoyPrime, the music producer asserts that secular music is spirit-filled, but worldly music contains negativity.

“We must understand that secular is not wrong. Secular and worldly are two different conversations to have. Worldly is what God frowns on. An example is an artiste who always uses vulgar words. Secular songs, on the other hand, are love songs that can be spirit-filled,” Kaywa stated.

The music producer explained further that worldly music undermines a moral lifestyle. He added that they support violent behavior, immoral sexual behavior, and other wicked lifestyles that quickly turn people away from God.

In contrast, secular music only promotes love and peace, two essential values that the Bible preaches.

He revealed that the Bible contains the majority of the lyrics used in secular music. "They have soul-satisfying lyrics that are full of spirit. Therefore, rather than mocking it, Christians ought to appreciate and partake in it.

“So instead of trying to open up and expose secular and worldly musicians as people who are not from God, we should rather mirror the good ones and leave the bad ones behind.”

He advised gospel musicians to actually extend collaboration invitations to secular musicians.
