Who is Ofie?
Ofie is an eclectic mix of cultures. Born and partially raised in New York, she lived her most formative years in Ghana, West Africa. Blessed with a musical style all her own Ofie mixes musical influences from her homelands to offer a soulful, rhythmic blend of tones. Her style appeals to all social and age barriers, with her inspirational and powerful delivery of music.
Ofie’s personality? Warm and genuine. Free and loving. “The gift of song for me is like the gift of breath; God given and God sustained. If I can remember that, I can offer it without reservation and without hesitation, because our gifts must be shared.”
“Music offers new experiences for me to explore daily, and gives me the opportunity to interact with some incredible people. That is where I am blessed. To be able to share the gift and see it bring peace, joy or even a tear to someone means that I am being used by God, that he is touching someone’s heart through me. That is so humbling.”
And those opportunities will continue to grow as Ofie introduces her debut CD, 'The Essence'. 'The Essence' is a diverse blend of life inspired songs that speak of Love. Love for God, family and mankind.
“We are driven by the relationships that surround us. The key is to make sure that these relationships are positive and healthy…Not easy stuff!”
Ofie believes that we’ve got to make sure our Spirits are healthy first….”That’s why I sing about worship in the title track….It is imperative that we have a healthy relationship with God. I was once told that we must worship God in everything that we do…in every interaction, in everything we write, in every movement we make. To me, that means giving our best in everything we do.” From this ‘The Essence” was born.
“I love this thing I do….This gift I share…the feelings of peace, joy, love, anger and pain that God presents through me….All these emotions are necessary, because through them the process of healing begins. That’s why the songs reflect so many emotions as they are shaped in us, our family lives, our society and our World.
