A biography of Ghanaian gospel musician Minister JK.

 
Minister Jk, whose real name is Joseph Koomson, is a Ghanaian gospel musician, songwriter, composer, recording artist, performer, singer, and storyteller based in Tarkwa-Aboso. Where he completed junior high school (Aboso Methodist), he later chanced on to Konongo Odumasi Secondary School and is now a university graduate at Ghanatta College of Art/Ultimate School of Art.


He used to sing and write his songs since childhood, until the Lord God finally made it obvious what he was called for, i.e., being a minister of God. He discovered his gift from the church. It all started when the leading singer in his church was absent, so he took it upon himself to lead the church in praise. The response after the session was his biggest inspiration and has led him to the studio so far.
Part of his inspiration has also come from Ghanaian gospel music legends Mark Anim Yirenkyi and O.J., his godfather and role models.
