Black Stars winger Joseph Paintsil is proving that his love for music and football can coexist without compromise.
The LA Galaxy star boasts a growing music portfolio, with songs like Unbreakable, Without You, Make You Sing, and his latest hit, Blessing.
Following in the footsteps of footballers like Asamoah Gyan and Kevin-Prince Boateng, the MLS champion has seamlessly blended his two passions.
In Los Angeles, he has found a home that nurtures his talents both on the pitch and in the studio. His unveiling at Dignity Health Sports Park was accompanied by Unbreakable, a track that resonated with fans and gained over 165,000 Instagram views.
In an interview with 3Sports, Painstil shared how he keeps his priorities clear. “I only focus on my free days, like now that we are on vacation.
“When the season starts, I have to really focus on just football… I will have two ways of dealing with things, and that is not good for an athlete.”
Blessing has become a fan anthem at Galaxy home games, reflecting the club’s acceptance of his music.
The winger made his first live performance during the MLS Cup victory parade, where thousands sang along.
“It’s a great feeling when they appreciate your song. Knowing these people have really accepted me is amazing,” he said.
