IT’S a platinum birthday celebration for gospel musician, Gloria Ampofo and there’s no better way to mark the milestone than expressing her gratitude to God with a new album.
The launch of the album will take place at Mount Zion Methodist Church, Sakumono, at 10:00am on Saturday, October 25.
For Gloria, this milestone is a spiritual thanksgiving for a life devoted to spreading the gospel through music.
“Turning 70 is a blessing I don’t take for granted. I wanted to celebrate it in a way that glorifies God and reminds people that His grace never runs out. This album is my offering of thanks. ,” she said in an interview with Graphic Showbiz the evening of Sunday, october 19.
The album, produced and engineered by Kwaku Safo (Kanada), is a seven-track collection that blends worship, praise, and festive joy.
It features songs such as I Love You Jesus, Njomo Da Fe Fee, Awurade Ye Ma Me Daa, Jesus in a Manger, Rejoice, What Shall I Give and Merry Christmas.
She describes the project as “a reflection of my journey with God, the highs, the trials and the endless moments of grace that have shaped my faith.”
Gloria Ampofo, who hails from Mampong Akwapim in the Eastern Region, is an alumna of St. Rose’s Senior High School and a proud member of Mount Zion Methodist Church, where she continues to serve.
Her music career spans over a decade, with her debut album released in 2014, featuring Christmas carols and instrumentals.
Over the years, she has written songs that celebrate both faith and patriotism. In 2017, she composed the official Ghana @60 song, and in 2022, she released a cheer anthem for the Ghana Black Stars ahead of the World Cup in Qatar — a gesture which earned her a special MUSIGA Award in December 2024 for her contribution to national unity through music.
In August 2025, Gloria also released a cheer song to mark St. Rose’s 60th anniversary, describing it as one of her proudest moments.
“It was emotional for me because St. Rose’s shaped so much of who I am,” she said.
As she turns 70, Gloria tells Graphic Showbiz she felt more inspired to keep singing and mentoring younger gospel artistes.
“Age is just a number when it comes to serving God. If He gives me breath, I’ll keep singing until my last day. This is my purpose”, she added.
