POP stands for “Pearls of Praise". This group serves as the praise and worship team for the Presbyterian Methodist Students Union at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (Ghana - West Africa).  Long before the group was inaugurated in 1997, the group saw its turn through the founding leaders; Amartey, George, and Sulias. Over a period of ten years the group has grown from a 15 member group to a mass choir of about 100 students serving the students population. The leadership mantle has passed through Felix Nyano-Techie, Felix Aduyobo, Harold-Badu-Addo,
Nii Okai, and presently Paul Brewu. As the seniors graduate, so do new ones come to fill the position.

However, the legacy that has sustained this group over the years has been purely the love of Christ and total commitment. POP has developed godly singers and musicians who are making a difference all over the world. Jo Bray, who grew out of this group and also served as the music director before moving to America recount the impact this group on his musical career and ministry.

Their songs are more of a soul gospel type. Blending their native language and Ghanaian traditional gospel highlife rhythms, reggae and Afro-American gospel style, this group is out to offer the world their best. The group's latest release is Onua. Onua captures the excitement of POP Choir in a world urban inspirational flavor mixed with Afro-American gospel tunes. A total of 11 tracks in all, four of the songs; In Heaven Love, Submit to God, As We Come To You, We Will Sing, were sung in English.
