Years of singing, serving in church and ministering through worship have culminated in a new milestone for contemporary gospel artiste and registered nurse Stacy Mense, who is gaining attention with her debut single, W’ahyira Me.
Released on July 13, 2026, the song has received radio airplay and is gaining traction on digital platforms, marking a significant step in her journey from church worship to recorded music.
For Stacy, born Anastasia Hannah Amuzu, the release represents more than the beginning of her recording career. It is the fruit of years of commitment to gospel music, from singing alongside her siblings as a child to serving on church worship teams, writing songs and ministering with established gospel groups.
W’ahyira Me celebrates the goodness and faithfulness of God, with a message centred on the blessings that come through trusting in Him and obeying His word.
Through the song, Stacy encourages listeners to remain steadfast in their faith, acknowledge God’s goodness through different seasons of life and approach His blessings with gratitude.
Her journey into music began in childhood, when she sang alto with her siblings as part of a family singing band within their family fellowship. The experience nurtured her vocal abilities and laid the foundation for what has since become a lifelong commitment to worship and gospel music.
That passion found further expression through her involvement in The Church of Pentecost, Avenor Branch, where she served on the worship team and ministered during Sunday services.
Her years in church ministry helped shape her understanding of music as more than performance, but also a means of serving God and encouraging others.
Stacy later joined Victorious Sisters, a gospel trio founded by Christopher Baffour Awuah, the younger brother of Reverend Owusu Ansah. The group, managed by Reverend Gabriel Ansah and Mr Kankam, featured her alongside Esther Saforo and the late Cynthia Tetteh.
She subsequently contributed her vocal and songwriting talents to other gospel groups, including One Family and Marko and the Urban Worshippers. She has also written songs for the groups and individual gospel artistes, including Nicole King.
Her experience extends to backing vocals and collaborative performances with gospel musicians, among them the late Sampson Annor and Nana Yaw Asare. One of her notable engagements was a performance of Nana Yaw Asare’s Odumankoma during the launch of the All-Gospel Stars song in Kumasi.
These experiences have helped develop her skills as a vocalist, songwriter and worship leader, preparing her for the release of her own music.
Music as a form of healing
Beyond her musical pursuits, Stacy works as a registered nurse, a profession that places care, compassion and the wellbeing of others at the centre of her daily responsibilities.
The two callings offer different ways of reaching people, but share a common thread: the desire to make a positive difference in their lives.
While nursing allows her to contribute to people's physical wellbeing, she sees music as an opportunity to offer spiritual encouragement, comfort and hope to listeners navigating different circumstances.
Her experience in healthcare also gives added meaning to her belief in music's ability to connect with people. A song can provide reassurance during difficult moments, encourage reflection and help listeners find strength when they feel overwhelmed.
For Stacy, gospel music is therefore not simply about entertainment. It is an extension of her faith and commitment to service, with the potential to inspire worship, strengthen hope and remind people that they are not alone in their struggles.
That outlook is reflected in the message of W’ahyira Me, which points listeners towards gratitude and trust in God, even when circumstances are challenging.
A new chapter
Although W’ahyira Me is her debut official single, it comes after years of preparation through church ministry, songwriting, group performances and personal growth.
The release signals her move into a new phase of her musical journey, as she seeks to share her message of faith with a wider audience beyond the church communities in which she developed her talent.
With themes of divine goodness, gratitude, perseverance and hope at the centre of her artistry, Stacy hopes to create music that speaks to listeners at different stages of life, whether they are celebrating a breakthrough, facing difficulties or seeking a deeper connection with God.
From singing alto alongside her siblings to serving in worship teams and gospel groups, her journey has been marked by a consistent commitment to faith and service.
Now, with W’ahyira Me, Stacy Mense is bringing those years of experience to a wider audience, using her voice to share a message she has nurtured through years of ministry.
