“I am inspired by Davido and Burna Boy, I have seen the kind of music they do , so I like to learn what they are doing so I can do it in the gospel space. I can’t say I don’t listen to secular music, that would be a lie , I do hear it and I enjoy it. I do listen to secular music to see what I can do better,” he said
He also emphasized how important it is to take inspiration from other musicians and genres, not just gospel music.
Sonnie was reacting to the feelings he had sparked on social media with his song “Spotify Wrapped.”
The popular Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie was Sonnie Badu’s most-streamed artist for 2023, defying expectations that the list would be dominated by Christian music.
People in Ghana had assumed that Sonnie’s list would mostly highlight his Christian beliefs. Ghanaians were shocked and surprised to learn about Sonnie Badu’s unexpectedly wide range of musical tastes on social media.
As he continues to have a big influence on the gospel music scene, Sonnie Badu understands the importance of keeping an open mind to new ideas and taking inspiration from the achievements of other musicians like Burna Boy and Davido.
He hopes to advance and make a significant contribution to the music industry with this strategy.
