In line with her new purpose and calling, singer Irene Logan says she now wants to be identified as Grace Osei.
“I was born Irene Elizabeth Grace Logan. My entire life story and journey has been a journey of faith and grace. Nothing else made more sense than to fully embrace that name. For me, Grace is a strong statement and a personal declaration of faith”.
Reflecting on switching from secular music to gospel, the singer explained that “the shift was not difficult for me. I have always felt the call to spread the gospel, so the decision to leave the ‘world’ behind was more of a natural progression.
"I’ve always had that within me. The moment I decided to step fully into the gospel, it didn’t feel difficult at all. It was just like coming home," she revealed.
As for balancing her thriving career in music with her personal life, she held that with clear understanding and communication, it is not as challenging as many might assume.
“Love and career are not difficult to balance at all. Once you know your role in the two, there will be no problem at all. As a Christian woman, I understand depending on the Holy Spirit to guide me in all things is wisdom.
“My husband and I minister together all the time. He is a solid teacher of the word of God and we are both ministers of the gospel. So, yes, sometimes, we minister together. I sing and he preaches. Christ is our foundation.
“Also, we practice good communication and patience with one another. There is mutual respect and love for each other. We are very happy and blessed,” she added.
