According to her, gospel music brings her joy and coming to Ghana to pursue that music dream is even refreshing.
“I wanted to do gospel music because growing up was rough but then gospel music makes me happy. It always makes me feel good and it uplifts my spirit. I want other people to feel the same when they listen to my music,” Niiella disclosed.
“It is God who chose me to come to Ghana. It is not necessarily about the money and all those things. I feel that if you are at the right place that God wants you to be at the time, He will make provision for everything to work out,” she told NEWS-ONE in an exclusive interview.
The talented songstress was born Niiella Dankwah Coffie in the UK into a Christian family of seven.
Her mum and dad are both pastors. Most of her other siblings are also into music. They either sing or play instruments.
Niiella started singing at a very tender age. She revealed that “I have always sung when I was a kid but then I started taking it seriously from when I was 15.
I started writing songs and I was 19 when I came to Ghana to join 'Stars of The Future' reality show season 5 and I was the first runner-up. After that I decided that I really want to do music and then I decided on gospel music.”
She is currently getting to release her album titled ' Shades Of Mercy' which consists of nine songs. The songs, she said, are all about the different shades of God.
“I am inspired by so many things. I am not one of those people who are boxed into one particular type of music. I like all kind of beats from Ghanaian rhythms to hip-hop to worship and all kinds. If you listen to my album, it is very diverse and I believe everyone will find something in there,” she stated.
Niiella grew up listening to the likes of Elder Mireku, Daughters of Glorious Jesus, Tagoe Sisters, Francis Adjei, among others, from Ghana. Beyond Ghana, she also listens to Kirk Franklin, Mary Mary, among others.
“I listen to very broad spectrum of music and it's always in the kind of music I do,” she added.
