Gospel musician Piesie Esther has expressed disappointment over her song “Mo” not being nominated for Songwriter of the Year at the Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA).

Speaking in an interview with Andy Dosty on Hitz FM’s Afternoon Ride show, the award-winning artiste said she was surprised that the song, which has touched many lives, did not receive the recognition it deserved.

“I was a bit disappointed when ‘Mo’ didn’t get me a Songwriter of the Year nomination at the TGMAs. Sometimes I sit back and admire the arrangement of the lyrics and think, ‘Was this really me?’ That song has everything,” she said.

According to her, the song’s message, arrangement, and lyrical depth make it one of the most powerful compositions she has ever written. She revealed that “Mo”, which means “Thank You” in English, was written from a place of gratitude and faith, drawing on her personal experiences and the testimonies of many believers.

Piesie Esther added that even though she was not nominated in the songwriting category, she remains grateful for the massive impact the song has had.

During the year under review, “Mo” became one of Ghana’s most popular gospel songs, earning her nominations in other categories and reinforcing her position as one of the leading voices in contemporary gospel music.

Piesie Esther, known for hit songs such as “Waye Me Yie” and “Maseda Kɔse”, continues to inspire audiences with her message of faith and hope.
