Nii Okai’s love for singing and music began early in his childhood; a gift which developed and became full blown during his days at Mfantsipim School and later at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Kumasi, where he directed three choirs and produced an album and an anthem.

He also excelled in the corporate world until mid-2010 when he left his role as the Manager for Service Excellence and Corporate Affairs at Standard Chartered Bank, to pursue what he says is a “divine calling”.

He holds a Master of Arts in Mission and Theology from the Akrofi-Christaller Institute, Akropong-Akuapem; a Bachelor of Arts in French and Economics from KNUST, as well as a professional proficiency in French (D.E.L.F D.A.L.F.).

Expressing his views on the current state of the Gospel industry, Nii Okai, who is married and a father of three told Daily Graphic the sector has seen lots of positive growth and exposure.

“I believe there’s been a lot of positive growth and exposure. This is not devoid of the usual challenge of competition and factions, stemming in part from the acute support available and excesses of social media,” he stated.

In his concluding remarks, Nii Okai encouraged new entrants not to seek fame.

“You don’t have to be like everybody else. If you seek fame, you will fail, if you seek faithfulness, you will succeed. If you invest in others on behalf of God, He will eventually invest in others on your behalf,” he noted.
