Gospel singer Cecilia Marfo says one voice in the secular scene consistently stirs her emotions, and that voice belongs to Mohammed Ismail Sherif, known widely as Black Sherif. She revealed that his music, especially one particular track, reaches her on a level few artistes do.
Speaking in an interview on Bryt TV, the ‘Afunumu Ba’ singer addressed questions about her connection with musicians outside the gospel community. She explained that she has never held any negative feelings toward secular acts and regularly enjoys songs from some of the country’s biggest names.
She cited Shatta Wale and Kwabena Kwabena among the artistes she listens to, but she reserved her strongest admiration for Black Sherif. Marfo described him as an exceptional young talent whose words carry unusual weight.
According to her, Black Sherif’s “Soma Obi” moves her in ways she cannot easily explain.
“I really like that guy Black Sherif but he doesn’t know. I love his song ‘Soma Obi’ very much,” she said.
Cecilia Marfo added that the track often overwhelms her with emotion, noting that she has found herself in tears upon hearing it at home, in public or while browsing TikTok.
