Esther Smith wrote her first song at 16: ‘Ewurade Wo Din No Hyeren’
Esther Smith has revealed the first-ever song she penned was called Ewurade Wo Din No Hyeren (LORD, Your Name is Glorious).
“When I was 14 years, I used to go to church with my Aunt and joined a Methodist choir somewhere in Kumasi,” the Gospel star said, talking about the Tanoso Methodist Church Choir. “I was the youngest in the choir.”
Later, the singer added, “we moved to House of Faith Ministries where I joined Voices of Faith at the age of… 16”.
The Kumasi-born and UK-based Ghanaian said this was where “I started to write my own songs – at the age of 16”.
“My first song was called Ewurade Wo Din No Hyeren,” she indicated.
Her first album, Esther Smith highlighted, “came out in the year 2000 – Gye No Di (Have Faith in Him (God))”.
She was speaking to Mr Lion on Class Drive on Class 91.3 FM, Wednesday, August 28, 2024.
