We Are
Peculiar
A gospel choir born in the heart of Kumasi, Ghana — chosen, royal, and called to carry a sound that shifts atmospheres and changes lives.
How It Began
Born From a
Burning
Calling
Peculiar People did not begin in a boardroom or a strategy session. It began in the heart of Nsanku Pekay — a keyboardist, producer, and servant of God who believed that music was more than sound. It was a weapon, a vessel, a voice.
From the streets and sanctuaries of Kumasi, Ghana’s Garden City, he gathered voices — young people passionate about worship, tired of ordinary, and ready to carry something extraordinary. They rehearsed in small rooms. They trusted a big God. And Peculiar People was born.
What started as a local gathering became a ministry. What started as rehearsals became revivals. And what started in Kumasi is now reaching Accra and beyond — one concert, one soul, one song at a time.
What We Stand For
Mission & Vision
Mission
To use music as a vehicle of evangelism, healing, and community transformation. We go beyond performance — our songs carry a mandate to reach the broken, uplift the weary, and bring the lost into encounter with the living God. Every stage is an altar. Every concert is a crusade.
Vision
To raise a peculiar generation of worshippers — musicians, creatives, and ministers — who understand that music is not a career but a calling. We envision a Ghana and an Africa where gospel music leads cultural conversations, where choirs fill arenas, and where the sound of heaven is louder than the noise of the world.
“But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light.”
Our DNA
Core
Values
These are not aspirations written on a wall. These are the convictions that govern how we rehearse, how we perform, how we treat one another, and how we show up for our communities.
We do not sing to be seen. We sing to be vessels. Every note we release is intentional — crafted in prayer, delivered in purpose, and received as a prophetic act. When we stand on stage, we stand on holy ground.
God is not glorified by mediocrity. We pursue the highest standard in our musicianship, our arrangements, our sound, and our character. Rehearsals are serious. Worship is serious. We bring our best because He deserves nothing less.
We celebrate one another. There is no rivalry inside these walls — only family. We lift each other’s voices, cover each other’s weaknesses, and build something together that none of us could build alone.
Young people are not the future of the church — they are the church, right now. We invest in, celebrate, and challenge youth to discover their gifts and step boldly into their calling without waiting for permission.
We are proudly Ghanaian. Our Ashanti heritage, our language, our rhythms — these are gifts we carry into worship. But our assignment is not local. We carry a sound the world needs, and we intend to deliver it everywhere God opens a door.
The Visionary Behind The Sound
Nsanku
Pekay
Chief Minstrel • Ghana’s Finest Keyboardist
Nsanku Pekay is a gifted keyboardist, studio engineer, music producer, and entrepreneur rooted in Kumasi, Ghana. He has built a reputation as one of the most versatile and anointed musicians in the Ghanaian gospel scene — a man who moves as naturally in the studio as he does on stage.
His musical journey is marked by collaboration, faith, and consistency. He has shared platforms with respected Ghanaian gospel voices including Kofi Owusu Peprah, Efe Grace, and MOGmusic, earning recognition for a style that fuses jazz complexity with gospel fire.
In founding Peculiar People, Nsanku created not just a choir but a movement — a space where young Ghanaians could discover the power of worship-as-calling. His philosophy is simple: music is a ministry first and a skill second. That conviction shapes everything Peculiar People does.

Our Story So Far
The Sound Before the Name
Nsanku Pekay releases his debut album Never Give Up — a 10-track jazz fusion gospel project that announces his arrival as a serious musical voice in Ghana. Songs like “Words Have Power” and “In Christ Alone” establish his signature style: technically rich, spiritually deep.
Music ReleasePeculiar People is Founded in Kumasi
Out of a vision to build more than a music group, Nsanku Pekay gathers a core group of passionate worshippers in Kumasi. Peculiar People officially begins — rehearsals in small rooms, big faith, and a clear sense of divine mandate. The name comes directly from 1 Peter 2:9.
Ministry LaunchCollaboration & Accra Breakout
Nsanku Pekay performs at the virtual album release concert of Sammie Obeng-Poku alongside MOGmusic and other leading Ghanaian gospel voices. Peculiar People’s sound begins to resonate beyond Kumasi, reaching Accra audiences for the first time.
CollaborationGrowth & Community Outreach
The choir grows past 30 active members. Peculiar People launches its first structured community outreach initiative — visiting schools across the Ashanti Region and performing at community events to bring the gospel beyond church walls.
CommunityBack in Accra — Major Concert
Peculiar People returns to Accra for a major worship experience, confirming their status as an inter-city ministry and drawing audiences from across Ghana. The event marks a new chapter in the choir’s expanding reach.
ConcertA Sound the World Needs
Peculiar People is now 50+ members strong, active across Kumasi and Accra, with new music in development and concert plans expanding. The vision is clear: Ghana is just the beginning. The nations are next.
NowWhy This Matters
Why We Sing
Music Opens Closed Doors
A song can reach a heart that a sermon cannot. Music disarms, draws in, and delivers truth in a way nothing else can.
Ghana Needs a New Sound
The gospel music landscape in Ghana is shifting. We intend to be at the forefront — relevant, excellent, and rooted in the Word.
Worship is Warfare
When we lift our voices in praise, spiritual realities shift. We sing not just to express feeling — we sing to accomplish something.
Youth Deserve a Platform
Too many gifted young Ghanaians have no place to grow. Peculiar People is that place — a platform, a training ground, a home.
Community Heals Through Song
Music binds communities together. From hospitals to schools, our presence with a song has brought healing that words alone could not.
Ghana to the Nations
Kumasi gave us roots. Ghana gave us identity. But the mandate is the world — and we are walking boldly in that direction.
