Meet Adom Kiki

A journey shaped by music, strengthened through service and inspired by faith.

A Musical Journey Rooted in Faith

Known professionally as Adom Kiki, Emmanuel Obeng Opoku is a Ghanaian gospel musician, pianist, songwriter and worship minister.

His love for music developed from an early age, influenced by a family environment in which music held a meaningful place. His father is reported to have had connections with the internationally recognised Ghanaian band Osibisa, contributing to the musical influences that surrounded his upbringing.

Adom Kiki attended Prempeh College and later Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST).

His journey is not simply one of entering the recording industry. Long before releasing music under his own name, he had already invested years in musicianship, church service and worship.

Those years in the church shaped the artiste and worship minister he is today.

From the Piano to the Stage

Years of Service. A Growing Sound.

For more than two decades, Adom Kiki served as a pianist at Calvary Charismatic Centre, Ayigya Tech, Kumasi, developing his musicianship within the life of the local church.

Those years provided an important foundation for his understanding of music, worship and the responsibility of serving through sound.

His musical journey eventually developed into a recording career, with publicly documented releases beginning in 2021.

Since then he has released nine songs and medleys, recorded with Joe Mettle and ministered alongside respected gospel ministers. The recording career is new; the service behind it is not.

The Heart Behind the Sound

Music With Meaning. Worship With Purpose.

At the centre of Adom Kiki’s music is a simple conviction: worship is not entertainment. It is how we give God thanks.

Gratitude, God’s faithfulness and praise run through his recordings and live ministrations. Whether he is at the piano in church or leading a full auditorium at The Worshipper’s Heart, the aim is the same: to help people turn their attention to God and worship Him together.

01Gratitude

Songs of thanksgiving

Gratitude runs through much of his recorded work. Songs such as Gratitude and Nyame Aboa Me are offered as thanks for God’s help, faithfulness and sustaining grace.

02Heritage

Rooted in Ghanaian worship

Asafo Yehowa, meaning “Lord of Hosts”, is a rendition of an Apostolic hymn, while Doxa Medley and Dynamis The Mix revisit the Ghanaian praise songs many worshippers grew up with.

03Shared worship

Recorded where worship happens

Several releases were recorded live at The Worshipper’s Heart, including Asafo Yehowa with Joe Mettle, keeping the music close to the gatherings where the songs are sung.

Beyond the Stage

The Person Beyond the Music

Away from the stage, Adom Kiki is a husband and father whose faith shapes everyday life as much as it shapes his music.

Raised in the Presbyterian Church, he has spent much of his life serving the local church, including more than two decades behind the piano at Calvary Charismatic Centre in Kumasi. That habit of serving still shapes how he approaches ministry.

It carries into the work he leads away from the recording studio: Adom Kiki Outreach Ministry, established in 2022 as one of the expressions of Adom Kiki Global Ministries, and The Worshipper’s Heart, the annual worship gathering he hosts in Kumasi, where fellow ministers and worshippers come together to give thanks.
