Twitch’s mother used to sit him and his sister down and teach them the essentials of chorale music. This is where he picked up his vocal chops, and how he ended up becoming the choirmaster during his primary schooling years.

The name Twitch is inspired by a movie character and was given by a cousin who’d drawn similarities between the vocalist and the screen personality.

“Take Your Sometin” with Kwesi Arthur cleared the path. A huge hit in Ghana upon its release in 2018, the Kwesi Arthur-featuring song invited more collaborations, while the video, at close to a million views on YouTube, is his most watched to date. So far, he has performed to capacity audiences at Sarkodie’s Rapperholic concert, and at Kwesi Arthur’s One Cedi & A Dream homecoming.

His forthcoming release, Lost, is set to capitalize off of the anticipation he’s been building with songs like “Mewu” (w/ Amaarae), Save Me Remix (w/ Medikal and Kweku Smoke), and “Superman” (w/ Kwesi Arthir amd KiDi), which remains his most streamed song across platforms.

EARLY LIFE AND EDUCATION

Fameye was born in Accra but hails from Eseama, Axim in the Western Region of Ghana. He attended Odorgonno  Secondary School.

Born Otoo Mensah, he is popularly known for DJing events with his iPhone, a feat that leaves his crowds lost for words.

iPhone DJ

Having started DJing professionally in 2017, iPhone DJ has graced several major events and within a year, he was been adjudged the 2018 Best Student DJ at the Campus Base TV Awards.

Speaking on why he prefers using his phone instead of a laptop, iPhone DJ stated that the cost of equipment has never been the reason for using his phone. According to him,

“It was actually a challenge to myself to achieve the same output that DJing with a laptop gave with a phone. I am used to doing most things on my phone and I didn’t think DJing will be any different or difficult.“

iPhone DJ is currently a Business Administration student at the University of Ghana, Legon. He attended Aggrey Memorial Senior High School prior to that.

CAREER

After two years of work, he got signed to Rock Entertainment and worked with a few managers including Andy Kem and Yaw Sarpong-Kumankuma. He has since released his first studio album “The Beginning”. His slogan or emblem which literally means “Cherish it” normally precedes or ends all his records. He uses that slogan to usher his listeners into his music to cherish his lyrics. Cabum has since shared the stage with Angelique Kidjo and Youssou Ndour at the Mo Ibrahim Freedom Concert.

Tulenkey’s journey as a rapper started at a talent show back in primary 6 where he was known as Optimist. He had to take stage impromptu for an act who was delaying in appearing on stage and has never looked back since.

Speaking on the change of his stage name to Tulenkey (from ‘Optimist’), he indicated that he got the name from his  mother.

Since the release of ‘Child Abuse’, Tulenkey released his mixtape 1/1 (1 Over 1)  and was also recruited by Africa’s most decorated rapper, Sarkodie, for his single ‘Biibi Ba’.

Tulenkey studied sound engineering at Abromedia Institute and currently resides in Dansoman.

Sam has been working under the radar for a while, releasing singles like “No Doubt” since 2017, and more recently, the bouncy, pop influenced R&B single “Find My Way”, which has caught the ears of music fans who have been paying attention.

What makes Sam Opoku particularly special and what sets him apart from every other musician out there, is his ear for catchy pop melodies for one, but most especially his pen. Sam is an extraordinary songwriter, one who has been a finalist in the American National Poetry Championship back to back, several years in a row. In addition, he also studied music in Grand Canyon University, USA.

His musical skill shows itself in every song, where the singer uses every line to portray his message in a simple but poetic manner, putting meaning into even the most fun of songs. This gives you something more to appreciate, not just the music itself but also the manner in which it’s delivered.
“The One” is Sam Opoku’s first afrobeats single, and his introduction into the Ghana music scene.

Formally known as Fresh Gyniux, DatBeatGod has made a mark as one of the few producers with a unique sense of sound. After spending time producing and recording as an artist, DatBeatGod has developed a signature sound characterised by merging elements of several musical genres into single productions hence creating music that is relatable to lots of musical cultures.

He has cemented his reputation by producing great songs on Epixode’s 3nity Album, widely regarded as an album to die for.

Back to back hits from dynamic music duo, EeiiNation which consists of himself and his long time friend and business partner, MrBombastic, Trumpet by KurlSongx amongst many other hits and bangers.
But DatBeatGod is not content to be a backroom player.

He wants to be the headline act. Teaming up with Singer, Song Writter and cinematographer, MrBombastic, they form prolific music duo, EeiiNation. With successful hits like Maggi, Owo Nam and tracks from their first studio album, Exousía, Eeii Nation (DatBeatGod and MrBombastic) has become a force to reckon with.

As an artist, DatBeatGod is very versatile and can go on any form of beat. This is partly the reason for his stage name, DatBeatGod, as is the fact that, he is the most versatile ghanaian producer of his generation.

Dark Suburb is Ghana’s first Alternative Rock Band. According to them , they are caught between the worlds of the seen and the unseen; the living and the dead.

They wear skeleton masks to highlight the point of our shared humanity and to remind the world that we are one people regardless of sex, race or social status

The masks, the group believes, gives them a uniform identity and hides individual egos and differences just as they expect the people everywhere to see themselves as an important unit in a big team working for a better world.

Made up of five musicians and a poet who is the Chief Priest of the band, Dark Suburb fuses various styles of music, especially African rhythms, with rock.

The idea is to show what they can do with different strands of music.

According to their Soundcloud , they have been invoked back to life by a priest disenchanted with the current state of the music industry. So he travels to the underworld to recruit the best singer, drummer, guitarist and pianist to form a great band for the ages.

But alas! Before the band can make a transition to the land of the living, they must be accepted by the living. The more they are loved, the more they will be revealed. They draw their breath, their form, their strength from the vitality of the living.

And so for now Dark Suburb is an apparition, their music echoing from the shadows. The more they are loved, the more they will be revealed.

In 2016, Cina released her debut album, ‘Metanoia’ featuring M.anifest, Worlasi and KiDi. The record that led her to the spotlight. Earning her a spot on the charts with singles Awo and Julor. Cina Soul was involved immensely in the Black Girls Glow Project which was launched in 2017 by Dzyadzorm and Poetra Asantewa. Alongside acts like Adomaa, Fu and Ria Boss, the group released their first album, Mother of Heirs in July 2017.

ARTISTRY

Cina Soul boasts of a diverse vocal range but settles within the genres of Soul, R&B, and Highlife music. Cina Soul’s music is written and sung in both English and Ga. She admits most of her songs are derived from personal experiences.

INFLUENCES

Cina Soul’s musical inspiration is derived strongly from Western influences. Her other musical influences are Anita Baker, Brandy, Sade, Aretha Franklin, Aṣa and Whitney Houston. She seeks artists with similar voice textures to hers and gleans from their experiences to enrich her own.

Nana Yaw Gyenin  known as Yaw Nanna is a Ghanaian rapper, songwriter , recording artiste and a family business man whose lyrics uplifts and inspires both the youth and young at heart.

His mother Mrs. Nancy Gyenin and father Mr. Philip Gyenin together with his brother Alistair, lived in a four bedroom apartment on church street, Dansoman SSNIT flat. He was raised by both parents and liked playing football and half the time plays car racing games .

His mum, Mrs. Nancy Gyenin was a trader who left the country few times to meet her business associates abroad and his dad Mr. Philip Gyenin, a captain, who spent most of his time sailing.

He got exposed to music in his early life due to his father’s routine spin of records like “red red wine”, “Mr Wendal” by Arrested Development , Mc Hammer “Cant Touch This” , Mysterious Girl by Peter Andre and inner circles “Ala La Lona” anytime he was back home from sailing.

As a kid growing up in Dansoman , the heart of music in Ghana at the time, Yaw Nanna was introduced to emcees like Dmx,Craig Mack and Coolio by his older cousin Akatos whose name he later succeeded in high school,mfantsipm .

During his early teenage years ,Yaw Nanna often took part in rap battles , under the pseudonym akatos (kaydiss) and was usually the only kid miming to songs at parties and fun fairs. He would often stay up well past midnight filling notebooks with phrases and verses that he would later draw on .

MUSIC CAREER

In Mfantsipim he was a member of a rap trio “Unprescribed” with Tical and Jurassic . After high school the urge to do music grew stronger when Redmic his best friend at the time (now a pastor), linked him to a producer from Achimota High School “styles”(dean) who later introduced him to Jounide a producer at wonder world back then .

In 2003, Redmic , Styles, Jurassic , EC and Nana formed “Urban Network”. They recorded most of their songs at Hushhush studio,  where they had the opportunity to work with some mainstream producers. He later formed “Safari Parks” with EC, Redmic and Sky Juice after Jurassic and Dean left the country.

Safari parks gained some street recognition for rap when bush k cosigned and started playing their songs on vibefm “playaz ball”.

Nana decided to go professional as a solo artist in 2006 when he realized the lucrative business side of music for a well established artist with a record label and personal studio setup in his first year in regent university .

He looked up to rappers like Sean Carter (Jay-Z), Sean Combs (P. Diddy) and Curtis Jackson (50 Cent) who are all emcee ceo”.

Yaw’s childhood friend Rodney King ,CEO Of Asaase Ase Records introduced him to African dancehall king Samini with whom he recorded a couple of songs in 2008

GOLDCOAST RECORDS .

In 2016 Yaw Nanna announced the launch of his own record label imprint, Goldcoast Records with himself as the flagship artiste and CEO . he teamed up with T-Double , his beatmaking/emcee neighbor and started recording songs in a living room.

Chris who had also graduated from law school , guy Rowland a business administration graduate and pkay who was then working with the NCCA in accra to setup the label.

By 2017 , after dropping a couple of freestyle videos (dc freestyle,ground up and lyrical wars) , the streets recognized his exceptional word play and delivery prowess and certified him as that rapper to bring dansoman back on the map.

Yaw Nanna’s Goldcoast Records is currently affiliated to Chali Muzik who produces, promotes and distributes his songs in the UK. 

Asabone was released at a press gathering at pergola, East Legon which hosted industry heads and bloggers like Hitz FM’s JMJ, David Mawuli? (Pulseghana), Fiifi Adinkra, Pep Junia etc.

Yaw also partnered with Gold Label Foundation to donate food items and medication to the Nsawam Male Prison in December 2015 ; Same year he came out of jail.

He aspires to be a motivational speaker in the near future using his exposure and past experiences to motivate and inspire the youth to stay away from crime and in as much as possible stay legitimate in what they do while trying to achieve their goals in life .

In trying to achieve his desperate musical aspirations at the age of 22, he got caught up in a situation which later turned out to be a bitter beginning to his musical journey . He had a brush with the law for possession and attempted exportation of narcotics in July 2008, which led to a 10 year incarceration term. It was within that period he decided to never give up on music.

He read his bible , wrote a lot of songs and learnt to be humble. Jail experience made him see life from a positive perspective . under incarceration a lot of people visited to inspire ,uplift and motivate inmates to keep their heads up. Stonebwoy, a dancehall act in Ghana really made an impact when he passed through with Rita Marley and Black Rasta in 2012.

He was released on 26th march 2015.

Back out, his family wanted him back in school but he chose to concentrate on music. That happened to be his most trying moments after his release. Barely a week after release he recorded his own version of young thugs lifestyle and Jay Z dynasty at the R2bees studio in Hatso and later performed at the second edition of the bar concert at the world trade center in 2015.

In 2016 he featured on Dj Ganjs Hakuna Matata a hippop song produced by Skonti together with Kwaw Kese and kobla jnr which enjoyed massive airplay on YFM . As a banking and finance student in Regent University, he would probably be working in a financial institution if he wasn’t rapping.

PERSONAL LIFE

Following his release from his 10 years sentence in prison on 26 march, 2015 , Yaw’s family just as any other African family will do, made moves to get him living his normal life , this included suggestions of him going back to school , but yaw had made up his mind in jail to come out and make his dreams of becoming a musicians come to life which ultimately was the reason he found himself behind bars .

Maccasio often raps in his native language, Dagbani, but he is also known to be a versatile rapper with the ability to mix it with terms in English and the MOST popular Twi language.

Maccasio lunched his debut album “Boussu” (my boss) in March 2014, which reigned consistently in the three Northern Regions. His second, and perhaps most popular album, “Oshihila Nkpe” (she touches me) was launched in 2015. .Its launch at the Picona Gardens was explosive in literal terms, as crowds of music fans jumped onto the stage to idolize their most-loved artist, creating scenes reminiscent of the birth of a hero. And recently launched his third studio album dubbed “Ninsala” (Human Being) on the 19th August, 2017 at the Tamale Sports Stadium. Which saw 20,000 fans at the stadium cheering to his songs. In other occasions in Tamale, he shared stages with top artistes such as Samini, Stonebwoy and VVIP.

Part of Maccasio’s popularity stems from his modest upbringing. He was raised by his single-mother following the death of his father when the boy was only seven. Just as any child in his situation, Maccasio endured a significant hardship. He worked harder to complete basic and high school education, but financial limitations impeded (at least for now) his ultimate desire to complete a university degree. For all the struggles life put him through, it couldn’t rob him of his most innate talent: the talent to entertain and move crowds. Those who watched him grow out of his difficult childhood think of him as a role model who epitomizes hope and hard work. For him, his past is a source of humility and genuine desire for success, which is increasingly lacking in contemporary breed of artistes.

Maccasio has a dream. His dream is to transform Northern music from its current state of “amateurism” in the periphery, to the stronghold of the Ghana entrainment worthy of attention and recognition in the Ghana Music Industry. He is constantly challenged by the under representation of Northern artistes in the Ghana music industry and looking to be the torchbearer of the evolution of Northern entertainment.

The group has been active since 2009 and has worked towards bringing a different dimension to the Ghanaian gospel music scene.

Starting with campus ministrations and evangelism, Preachers have grown to recording two studio albums (Mark 16:15 and The Fearless Project) and ministering in most of the churches, events and prestigious platforms in the country.

The break of their genre of gospel music and the acceptance of their ministry by both the young and the elderly, have paved way and created the platform for others (mostly the young ones) to glorify God with their talents and build ministries and careers.

With their spectacular mission of evangelism they have ministered in over thirty Senior High Schools and tertiary institutions across the nation.

Between the years of 2012 and 2014, preachers have ministered on over 70 major platforms and events in the country. These include the December To Remember Concert, Ghana Gospel Music Awards, Bless De Mic Arts and Music Concert, and APPMC’s Neighborhood Evangelism Tour, just to name a few.

Their main career beginning album, launched in September 2012, has won them many awards in Ghana and beyond.
They are the winners for ‘Best International Music Video’ at the Gospel Music Awards (GMA) Italy 2014, ‘Afro Rap Artist of the year’ at the Africa Gospel Music Awards (AGMA) 2013 in London, ‘Most Wanted Rap Song of the Year’ at the 2013 Christian Community Music Awards (CCMA), and ‘Discovery of the Year’ at the Ghana Gospel Music Awards (GGMA) 2012. They were also nominated for Best Gospel Music Video in the 2014 Africa Gospel Music Awards in London, Group of the Year in the 2014 Prosperity Awards in London and Best International Gospel Act in the 2013 ‘Black Entertainment Film, Fashion, Television and Arts Awards (BEFFTA)’ in London.

The second album, The Fearless Project launched August 2014, includes their major hit songs such as No Juju, Crazy, and Meyi Waye. The album which was highly anticipated by fans of the Gospel rap trio is on iTunes, Amazon, CD Baby and many digital distribution stores.

Discovering his interest in music was never really in question as by class six he would be nicknamed DJ Khaled because of his ability to stay in line tune with all the hits as fast or before everyone else when in reality disk jockeying was a profession he had zero knowledge about.

After his BECE, his first hobby surprisingly became production after he got used to discovering the Fruity Loops application.

Entering high school as a producer put him in the right company and here the hobby would discover it’s true potential and begin to professionalize itself.

After spending his high school life in the entertainment committee, getting to the end of his high school he would drop his first vocals on a song by Yung Richy still very present on his soundcloud and from there on his work would lead the way to getting it right. He would be known as Lil-d then.

By college his credibility wasn’t music, it was math. It was the one thing his Dad had put in his since basic school and in effect he was a perfectionist who wouldn’t give music he didnt deem worthy keeping his identity hidden to prevent comments that could make him stop his chase for perfection.

He would then revert to the hobby now super power(Production) after he met Supa Gaeta and Rebel Queen thug in level 100 forming a group called the  Misfits Fiend as main producer since Gaeta his closest mentor then was better know a rapper. Kiyo would make beats back to back with Gaeta till Gaeta could teach him the necessaries.

They moved into success as they would end up the first sophomores who made it one stage during weekend shows. Rebel was a white girl who understood self worth and would show Kiyo the power of knowing yourself by getting them the respect they always deserved while on road. But sadly it wasnt God’s plan to send Kiyo to the world through Kiyo. He gained the street credibility buh not enough achievements to hold water. 

Kiyo was blind to this since he was just tracking progress and trying to get better. By the middle of 200 he would begin work on the project that would change his life. 

Rec moved to his hostel and began working with Kiyo on his then BlackNotes mixtape after classes since they were both Banking and Finance students.

Kiyo would first hand notice how advanced he had to get to achieve the project, Kiyo would record and release his first single since gaining all the street credibility not necessarily to show what he was becoming buh to tell the world something big was coming. It ended up his biggest song yet giving him his first 500 plus plays. After Kiyo – Wait! I’m coming was dropped, everyone was aware of BlackNotes, the single worked.

Things delayed buh finally the single to this tape was dropped and they would have their first public number 1 over the itunes charts.

This was when Kiyo noticed he had become a professional while learning.

He would move on to form a band and enter the real world of music on their own accord, allowing him to see his next reality close up for the first time.

Since they knew what to do now, it was work on

Unfortunately BlackNotes would not drop because of the unexpected blow up of Stunt. But the Hewale band would come to live and begin to make it’s own mark keeping things moving.

Headed towards final year, Kiyo was musically silent to the world. It was a really uncertain period for a collage student turning musician. You couldn’t be both sides anymore and picking a side meant it had to be the absolutely right move. To make things harder his Father would’ve called him and assured him his backing and blessing for his music by the summer of lever 300 resulting in the sudden pause. He would go on to evolve himself into a full artist unaware to everyone only to return on stage a day after his final collage paper in Osu at Khona performing Dahlin Kisses so Sweet(ft Kiyo Dee), they later went to an interview at Y fm with Dahlin where he mentioned he did the future to reintroduce himself back to the music community after being silent for so long.

By the end of August 50 calls would be out followed by the debut tape Free Books Don’t Sell Vol.1

This would lead to Speech productions signing him and releasing the Lost alongside shooting and making it his debut video with the single which was release 25th November 2017.

2018 was here and he wasnt willing to wait to make a sound his first official year in music. By March the single Magic city would be dropped and the Volume One mixtape ready for pre-order by April 1,2018

It dropped April 13,2018 and on the VGM night the next day he would be hitting his highest points in the points in the charts for the tape yet

#4 on itunes #37 Apple music album charts.

Next was the 8 oclock video dropped  some weeks after and now here we are, today. Who knows what he has next? Stay updated

Nxwrth has created a distinctive production style influenced by his love for space and the extraterrestrial. However his love for Kanye makes him close to hip hop and that’s why his collaboration with hip hop and rappers are distinctive.

You can find the same mix of culture and passions in his visuals that he produces for his music releases, but also for his fellow artistes friends, like $pacely and other members of the music collective “La Meme Gang”.

The story is told of the breakup of her parents, which required her leaving Tema where she was born. eShun decided to visit her church one last time before she moves with her dad to Kumasi. She entered and found a guy named Emmanuel Danquah inside the church rehearsing with the church piano.

The guy having heard that she sings with the Church Choir convinced her to sing just a song before she leaves. After the session with the church keyboardist, he coerced her to stay, to which eShun agreed after she convinced her Dad with the help of the head pastor of the church (Holy fire International Church) who was then a family friend. The Man of God agreed to take eShun through school and host her, and that was the beginning of the grooming of eShun’s so heart felt voice.

“It was this guy who made me think again about my singing talent”, she told Giovani host of ETV’s Celebrity Late Night Show.

Her excellent performance took her all the way to the final three which included Vicky and DJ Switch. She place second to the DJ Switch who was won the competition though eShun says she was cheated.

eShun was very appreciative of one Pastor Daniels of Herald Family chapel who she said encouraged her great deal along the way.

Bryan The Mensah hasn’t been in any musical competition. Honestly as much as he says he’s aware that stuff like that helps shape the artiste and his/her music, He also feel like it may make the artiste very narrow or one-way in terms of his/her creative approach. He cited a lot of cases where artistes got signed to major labels have shown that the artiste loses a bit of control over the kind of music he/she makes. But then again it depends on the nature of deal because talent management entails a lot of different aspects such as distribution, creative direction, public perspective and many others.

In reference to achievements, Bryan considers achievements as subjective. But in his case, he perceives working with amazing producers such as Jayso has helped him shaped his career. According to him, with the help of talented producer Epidemix, meeting the music genius and producer Jayso has been a dream come true since he has been one of his mentors in music growing up. Secondly, naming him as Apple Music’s New Favorite Artiste for the month of October, 2017 has been one of the greatest heights in his career yet. Also, his debut EP ‘Friends With The Sun’ was also placed 8th on the Apple Music/iTunes album Charts only on the second day of its release.

Bryan The Mensah perceives music as a broad art and therefore, artistes should have a wider approach towards it in terms of audience, distribution, business wise etc. He hopes to become one of the youngest artists doing big things for Ghanaian music .

EARLY LIFE AND MUSIC CAREER

Eno bagan school at Shallom preparatory school and continued her lower primary education at Cambridge Academy. She finished her Junior High School at Methodist JHS and pursued her senior secondary education at Methodist Day Secondary School in Tema and continued to achieve her tertiary education at Kumasi Polytechnic.

Even though she recorded other singles before her fame, Eno Barony’s professional musical career begun when she released her first single “Tonga” in 2014, which received commercial support due to her rapping legerdemain. She later performed a couple of shows on major platforms and recorded more songs including “Megye Wo Boy’’ in 2015, on which she collaborated with Abrewa Nana. 

In 2015, Eno’s consistency dwindled due to the sudden demise of her mother. After several months of mourning, she broke the silence with hip hop song titled “The Best’’ with multiple award winning Togolese artiste and Brand Ambassador for Togocel, Mic Flammez.

 She added more singles to her résumé and made a major move by recording a single with Shatta Wale ‘’Daawa’’ in 2016. Same year she had a single music project titled “GARI” with the controversial rapper Kwawkese. Eno also got another thrilling song with Stonebwoy titled ‘’Touch the body’’ and another with Medikal, a hiphop project dubbed ‘’King of Queens’’.

In 2017, she released a song titled ‘’Juice Me’’ proceeded with another hit single with Ebony Reigns , titled ‘’Obiaa Ba Ny3’’.

She had her biggest recognition when she was made the music commissioner for Ghana Meets Naija 2017.

Almost every Ghanaian musician started singing in church when he or she was a child and eventually decided to join the music industry when they matured but it seems quite different with OBIBINI, who started singing in his room.

OBIBINI grew up listening to the records of Reggie Rockstone, Obrafour, Outcast and Busta Rhymes way back in his childhood days. Records from the artistes he listened to inspired him to write and RAP as well. In High School
(Adisadel College) David started writing his own songs and joined a 4-member group called the Ill Deadly Ministers (IDM) and that helped him better his lyrics and RAP style.

Even before officially releasing his debut single, OBIBINI had a wide fan base that at a point in time felt he had been kept unsigned rather too long. A Hip Hop artiste with a unique style of blending English and his mother tongue (Twi) in his music, OBIBINI hopes to go far in the world music industry; hence learning to sing as well as he RAPS.

VISION AND MISSION

Anointed king of RAP, OBIBINI’s style of music is Rhythmic Afrikan Poetry. Due to his keen interest in quality content creation, OBIBINI focuses on good lyrics in writing his music. Being a lover of African history with a passion for research and creative writing.

OBIBINI’s vision is to become a model of excellence in the ‘Edutainment’ industry; his mission is to establish a School Of Afrikan Knowledge (SOAK), to educate, entertain and bridge generational gaps through music and the creative arts. As an ardent listener and lover of music.

OBIBINI is not only concerned about the growth of his music but that of the industry as a whole. This is why he expresses worry about the incidence of artistes who do a one hit-track and vanish into thin air, he says, “most of these vanished artistes refused to be dynamic and don’t seem prepared to learn to better their skills and talents.

While “underground” I was critically analyzing why they vanish and that has inspired me to put away pride and learn no matter how famous I become.”

Undoubtedly a trend setter, OBIBINI further notes that although things become tough for most upcoming artistes who do not follow existing trends of rhythm in the music industry “I believe every artiste has his or her unique way of composing, singing and/or rapping, we should learn to appreciate our talents rather than follow trends because if you ignore your uniqueness for existing trends, what happens when trending rhythms end?”

Bankshield Unit as formally identified, has officially been in existence since 2009. Being rebranded as Wit Gang ; Bankshield, only gives it a new vibe to mark a new beginning and a new type of energy.
The rap group is originally made up of 3 (three) members which includes; Kwesi Jiggs (English / Fante rapper), Ashes ( Asante Twi Rapper) and Ujean AllDay (English rapper/singer). Other artists associated with this musical crew may be just friends or business affiliates signed for either distribution or marketing.

EARLY STAGE(S):

Kwesi Jiggs met Ashes in 2006 just when they both had been offered admission into St. Peter’s Senior High School (located in Kwahu-Nkwatia, Eastern Region of Ghana) to pursue their secondary education.
Kwesi Jiggs at the time, was a science student whilst Ashes was a General Arts student. They both participated in several rap battles on campus and off-campus in which they won most.

“Bankshield General” was a title given to Kwesi Jiggs by his fans after he released a very popular song on campus entitled “I’ma General”. The song was later remixed to feature Ashes and some other school musicians who later on joined the group (Cyco and Yaw Mini).

“I’ma General remix”, became very popular that, it motivated Kwesi Jiggs to take music more seriously instead of just considering it as a hobby. In 2008, the song won 2 (two) awards at high school level(s) and was produced by Ghana’s current hottest producer and artist, Magnom. The final mix was carried out by Lil Shaker with a little bit of coaching from rapper J-Town, who had just participated in Mc Africa.

In 2009, Ujean AllDay was introduced to the crew by a good friend of Kwesi Jiggs (who attended Pope John’s Senior High with Ujean AllDay) and everything started professionally right from there.

MISSION OF THE GROUP:

The mission of Wit Gang ; Bankshield is to put Ghanaian Hip-Hop and African Crafts on the global market to inspire future generations.

Aside his musical talent, he is a businessman by profession and owns a couple of businesses. He is the Founder and C.E.O of We In Town Limited – a holding company which controls it’s subsidiaries.

Born on 12th May 1991, Brian Mill’s musical career took off when he was 9 years old but started music professionally when he was 17 years old. He recorded his first demo at age 16 whilst in high school and since then, he never looked back.

The rapper has worked with various music producers like Jayso, Magnom Beats, Guilty Beatz, Andy Field, Mike Millz among many others who are mainstream today.

Kwesi Jiggs uniquely depicts a true fashion image which he believes he emulated as a part of his mother’s profession of being a fashion designer. Being a public figure with a quality and undisputable brand, has always been his focus all these years. So much of a hard-worker, disciplinarian, perfectionist and the kind of classic person he is today, can be attested to by many who have had the chance to work with him.

In 2013, Kwesi Jiggs signed contracts with Africori, a distribution company with Head-Quarters situated in the United Kingdom to release his debut and joint album with one of his band members called Ashes. The rapper has always been independent and loves to build things of his energy.

The project was entitled “United States of Africa” and contained 15 versatile songs ranging from hard-core hip-hop rap mixed with a feel of R&B and Afro-Pop genre of music respectively.

Other supporting artists from Kwesi Jiggs band, “Wit Gang ; Bankshield” made some guest appearance(s) on the project together with some other artists across Africa which promoted a Pan-African movement and made the album very solid with heavy lyrical content.

According to critics and their review(s), the album was a potential Grammy material and needed more attention from a major record company for it’s promotion, marketing and distribution rather than it’s independent release and promotions across social media platforms and few radio plays.

Although the album failed to break through, due to insufficient financial support, it brought about some wishful opportunities which made Kwesi Jiggs stand out of many and till date, the rapper still believes in the potentiality of the project even though he has released a couple of quality materials such as, “I’m Self Defined”, “We In Town”, “Came For Your City”, “Mr. Mill EP” among many others which he intends showcasing as his entire life time catalogs by supporting them with a chain of interesting videos and, organizing a series of tours and performances, after which he will focus on the business side of music, sign and manage new beautiful talents under his organization for marketing as well as publishing and distribution.

From rhymes to punch-lines, from similes to metaphors or what most hip-hop fans term as bars, Brian Mill takes his time to write great and life situation lyrics which gets his fans going crazy. He grew up listening to Bob Marley, Shawn Corey Carter a.k.a JAY Z, James Todd Smith popularly known as, LL COOL J and Curtis James Jackson III professionally known as 50 CENT.

His top-notch swag and ambitions are deeply expressed in his lyrics and most of his songs carries out messages about the things we do in our daily lives being it good or bad, explicit or conscious. Brian Mill is a huge fan of technology and this reflects in everything he does including the release of his music.

Flowking Stone who is one half of the Multi- talented musical duo Bradez , made up of two blood brothers himself and Kwaku Nsiah-Amankwah (Kunta Kinte), however after an unfortute illness which rendered his brother (Kunta Kinte) immobile for years, Flowking Stone has had to go solo and keeping the Bradez brand alive while waiting on his brother to fully recover .

Since going solo , Flowking Stone had released an Album (GIFTED) and several singles including :

• Go Low
• Me Kyeakyea (featuring Luther)
• Borga
• Waba Biom (featuring Kwaw Kese)
• Igwe

In 2017, Flowking stone won his first ever VGMA award as a solo artiste with his hit song ‘Go Low‘ 

.

Made up of Reggie Rockstone (Reginald Ossei), Prodigal (Joseph Nana Ofori), and Zeal, formerly known as Lazzy (Abdul Hamid Ibrahim) from a ghetto suburb in Accra, Ghana called Nima.

FORMATION

The founder of this group is actually Friction (Musah Haruna) who formed this group with a friend of his who later had to leave the group for the U.S. to finish his education. So Friction proposed the idea to four people (Promzy, Lazzy, Prodigal, Bone-later left the group) and before they knew it, the five of them were performing at ghetto parties, clubs, street festivals etc.

Friction’s dog, Chicago, was also an official member of the group. You could hear the dog growling at the end of their tracks from the late 1990s. Eventually Chicago died.

ALBUMS

In 1997, VIP presented at a street carnival. It was then that a Ghanaian television-presenter, Blakofe (aka Akua Manfo) and a radio-presenter called Michael Smith discovered the group. Blakofe became their manager, and Michael Smith gave them a contract by the name, Precise Music. In 1998, they released their first album, Bibi Baa O, they were famous all over Accra. They became the most popular Hiplife group in Ghana. In 2000, they released their second album, Ye De Aba, which was more successful than their first album. After the second album, Friction felt that it was his time to work as an individual artist and quit the group. The group now had three members (Promzy, Prodigal and Lazzy) and released a third album in 2001 called Lumbe Lumbe Lumbe with the smashing hit “Daben na Odo Beba”. However the hip life group conquered the Ghana music charts with their 2003 album Ahomka Womu; their single also named “Ahomka Womu” was number one on the Ghanaian charts for over 20 weeks. VIP won five awards at the Ghana Music Awards from the hit single and the group gained international exposure after this success. Since then, the group has been touring worldwide.

He was heavily tipped by BBC Radio 1Xtra amongst their list of  “Hot For 2015” – the new artists to keenly watch in 2015 and beyond. He went on to be nominated as “Best African Act 2015” in 3 separate popular UK awards – MOBO, UMA and BEFFTA, in recognition of his high work ethic, quality content and live performances. In addition he was nominated for 4 Awards in the prestigious Sierra Leone 232 Entertainment Awards including Best Male Act and Best Album/EP which he was awarded.

Generally referred to as an Afrobeats artist SILVASTONE’s music is best described as a creative hybrid of African beats, UK sounds and Global melodies. He is presently preparing the release of his much-anticipated second EP, #LEVELS – due late-January 2017, which he promises to be another game-changing project that builds on his debut, TRANSITIONS. Other 2017 plans include his biggest headline concert (April) and returning to Austin, Texas for his second official booking at the world famous SXSW Music Festival.

Rewinding back… Silvastone had initially gotten into the game officially as a producer/songwriter composing songs for several big African acts and travelling as a tour DJ and musician for these artists. It wasn’t until late 2014 when he officially started his artistry endeavours after releasing the excellent self-produced and self-written ‘TRANSITIONS’ EP. It was received with great acclaim and garnered immediate support from influential and notable tastemakers across the board like Mistajam, DJ Edu, Ras Kwame, Shortee Blitz, Zane Lowe, Charlie Sloth, E-Plus, Tim Westwood, DJ Target, DJ Neptizzle, etc. His music is on regular rotation on numerous radio and TV networks worldwide and especially Africa – Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda, Ghana, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Gambia, Tanzania being examples of where he has repeatedly undertaken radio interviews over the last 12 months.

SILVASTONE composed music featured in Hollywood blockbuster “The Good Lie” (starring Academy winner Reese Witherspoon). He has featured on various TV shows including series 2 and 3 of a popular pan-African reality music TV show called CokeStudioAFRICA alongside some of the continent’s biggest stars and broadcasting prime-time across Africa every weekend and online to the world. In addition SILVASTONE hosts a monthly African Music show on Emirates Air in-flight entertainment channel.

Born in London to Sierra Leonean and Ghanaian parentage, Silvastone developed a keen interest in playing music instruments whilst at a very young age and could effortlessly play piano by age 5. Influenced initially by his parents love of Ghana Highlife and Classical music and later other genres his older DJ brothers played he started to create his own music when he moved to study and live in Freetown (Sierra Leone) with his father at the age of 11. Years later he would be showcasing this natural talent on the world stage. He has since produced/remixed and/or collaborated with an diverse array of the hottest new talent from across Africa and the worldwide including  Ace Hood, Sarkodie, Sneakbo, Rita Ora, Davido, Damian Marley, Mark Morrison, Afrojack, Don Jazzy,  Chidinma, Estelle, D’banj, Dan Croll, Emmanuel Jal, Blak Twang, Atumpan,  2Face, Banky W, Wanlov, Wayne Marshall, etc.

Having initially produced for many such artists Silvastone decided in 2014 to concentrate on developing himself as a full fledged vocal artist leading to his aptly entitled ‘Transitions’ project later that year. It’s breakthrough and heavily playlisted  single “Loving My Baby (Remix)” featured Nigerian Afro-pop sensation Yemi Alade and its follow-up “Skatta (Remix)” features legendary Jamaican global dancehall stars, Chaka Demus and Pliers.

2016 proved to be another sentinel year for SILVASTONE. He was booked for SXSWFestival in Austin, Texas USA in March where he performed at 3 official showcases amongst some of the hottest artists worldwide. Prior to that he had kickstarted the year supporting  The Compozers at their sold-out headline gig at O2 Forum, London.

His international travels extended to Atlanta where he performed at official showcases at A3C Festival in October and more recently undertook a promotion campaign in Ghana where he is poised to return later in the year. The multi-talented SILVASTONE has also recently been subject to increasing label and publisher interest. Meantime many favoured artists continue to request collaborations and productions with him whilst promoters seek bookings with this outstandingly gifted young talent.

First single off the project, the R&B tinged “Remedy”, illustrated this neatly and in return received widespread support on radio, TV, clubs and online. It’s follow-up, the aptly titled and bass-throbbing “Incredible” is already receiving early support and playlisting.

His style of music is usually a fusion of African elements with Hip hop, Dancehall, RnB, Afro-pop or Reggae.

In SHS he fell in love with music production as he begun to watch studio session Videos online. He then begun to learn how to play beats on his own and study a lot of things to always get better.

These top producers influenced his style of play and he still looks up to them; Don Jazzy, J.R Rotem and DJ Khaled. Nektunez then developed a unique style of beat play which makes him standout anytime he does a production.

“For me, it’s all about mood and a deep, hypnotic grooves, playing those beats and making those tracks that get you tapping your feet and nodding your head without you realizing it, regardless of genre, tempo, style, or release date”.
Nektunez has worked with some top producers and artistes in Ghana.

​Emmanuel Kwadjo Denkyi born 6 August known in the showbiz circle as DJ Manni is a Ghanaian disc jockey and a radio host based in London. He runs reggae/dancehall program on Hot Lava radio. He is well known for his mix tapes, support for reggae/dancehall and promoting talented acts. He is considered as one of the most important reggae/dancehall hierophant;, helping bring artists with good music to a mainstream audience both locally and internationally. Manni gained attention with his first debut mix tape in 2013, it experimented into conscious reggae songs and hardcore dancehall songs but he had already released couple of afro beats, reggae/dancehall mix tape in 2012.

EARLY LIFE

Emmanuel Kwadjo Denkyi was born in Nkawkaw a town in south Ghana and is the capital of Kwahu West Municipal district, a district in the Eastern region of Ghana. According to Manni, he lived in Ghana where he stayed at Kwahu, then later moved to Taifa then to Accra Nima and finally settled at Newtown (Akotex). However, because he stayed in a Hausa speaking area he could only communicate in housa and not his native tongue , he was returned to Kwahu to learn how to speak Twi. He had primary education at Taifa pre-school and afterwards moved to Greenhill international at St. John’s. After that he also school at Mpreaso kwahu for a few months before traveling to London.

In London, he was enrolled in Warwick school for boys from 1996 to 2000, before long, he was sent back to Ghana because of his short temper and numerous reports by teachers of him missing class and being involved in robberies in and outside of school due to his frazzle attitude. His ossified behavior did not warrant him to even be hosted in Accra, so his dad was forced to take him Tarkwa to enroll him in Tarkwa Secondary school. He was barely in the school for two terms because his anomalous behavior did not favor him;his father ordered the school not to let him leave but he jumped the wall and left all his belongings and came back to Accra for a year and returned to London.

Upon all his mulish behavior, he was very intelligent and mentally dapper. On his return to London, he joined a football academy in East London for a year, then studied GNVQ in sports & recreation and even got his UK F.A Level 1 coaching badge. His compelling style of play got him a step ahead of his colleagues; he was ranked as the top most player. Nevertheless, due to some personal decisions he made, he decided not to play football again. After a long stay in London, he took some time off to spend the vacation in Ghana. That was somewhere 2008, during his stay he made time to listen to lot Ghanaian music. To his surprise, he developed so much love and interest for Ghana reggae/dancehall songs after he heard Iwan’s “still love me” and Shatta Wale’s “Anastasia”.

There and there, he said to himself “reggae/dancehall will be maximal in Ghana some years to come”. He enthusiastically started collecting more reggae/dancehall songs made in Ghana as a hobby, within some short period he left to London. After a while he was in Ghana again purposely to analyze the trending value reggae/dancehall and other songs in the country; it was through his analysis that it came to his notice that Ghanaian DJ’s do not support their own especially the talented youths who found it difficult to break through the limelight. Afterwards he left to London.
On his arrival after few days, a very good friend of his paid him a surprise visit, fortunately for his friend; he had the chance to access Manni’s music player, upon listening to countless back to back hit ear candies for hours, he anchored in and motivated Manni to see the business side of all the music he had collected and make profit out of it. The indispensible requirement of hard work is self discipline and success is also possible when only you can overcome the natural tendency to cut corners and take the easy way, with this as his mind set he made a concrete decision to take on Disc Jockey as a profession.

BREAKTHROUGH

The achievement of one’s goal is assured the moment one commits his/herself to it, Manni is selfless and dedicated individual who is very mindful that he is a product of his environment, so he chose an environment that will best develop him towards his goal though he had no idea about disc jockey, he had couple of Caribbean friends who were already into the profession so he allied himself with one of them by name Squeechie Don from Jamaica somewhere 2012 who was then working with Muzkradio in London. Lasting success is possible when you can discipline yourself to work hard for long time, Manni started practicing the art of disc jockey; he invested almost all the time he had to master the art of the profession. It took him days, months and years of practice to become a master on his own. He was fast to realize his potential immediately his friend planted the idea of making profit out of his music collection. During the period by which Manni was practicing at the grass root stage, Squeenchie Don had also established an online radio at that time called Hot Lava radio based in London. Manni worked consciously, deliberately & continuously that earned him some credit to go on air (Hot Lava radio) to showcase his newly found profession.

Working consistently was his default mechanism so he went on to release his first mix tape which was an absolute bombshell based on the fact that the response he got from the masses, friends, family and other industry players got him addicted to the profession like a junky on a cocaine. His next project was a mix for Shatta Wale, to his surprise the mix flowered him up to limelight. Since music travels fast music freaks are all over hunting any pleasing music materials; President of Ghana Motion Inc., Mr. Kwame Asenso called DJ Manni congratulating him for a good production work (mix tape) done after he had the chance to soak in the mix tape. Immediately, opportunity knocked on Manni’s door; Mr. Prosper Asenso pledged to upload any of DJ Manni’s mix tape on his website. Shatta Wale’s mix had over 3000+ downloads.
​He flourished to fame properly in 2008 after he joined forces with Kingsman Djgashie GH Bekoe to establish a sound system viz One love Africa with the aim of promoting talented musician through mix tapes. Manni released the volume 2 of the Shatta’s wale mix tape. Along the line he discovered other talented artists; Stonebwoy, Kaakie, Iwan, Rudebwoy Ranking and the likes who were equally good, by means of promoting their songs, he released Ghana dancehall volume 1, without doubts it also did well on the music market but did not get maximum attention. Before late Manni realized he could have done better, which he came back pre-programmed this time, he released the second volume of Ghana dancehall, as promised it was also uploaded on www.ghanamotion.com, the mix tape has over 12,000+ download.

He registered his trademark professionally in 2013 and has mixed 106 tapes in 3 years in addition to 50 tapes in 2016 some of these mix tapes includes:

Tic began his music career while a secondary school student in Accra. He first began performing in 1997 with a group called ‘Natty Strangers‘ along with his best friend Bessem Bikhazi (famously known as Cold Sweat. After becoming the most eagerly awaited group in Ghana, winning awards at events such as Kidafest, Fun World, Source etc.,

He later went on to release an self-produced album after Bessem migrated to the UK to train as a Commercial Pilot. During his early career, Tic modeled his style after his idol Busta Rhymes. Bessem Bikhazi, now a fully qualified pilot is currently managing Tic.

Tic reached a wider audience when he was featured on Azigiza’s song “Woye Bia“, which was a hit in Ghana. Collaborations with Slim Busterr and Daasebre Gyamenah followed. In 1999 Tic released his debut solo album, Philomena, which spawned several hits. 

“Menka Bio (Shordy)“, a single from his third album, Masem, topped the Ghana music chart for 22 consecutive weeks in 2002-2003, which was a record at the time. The launch of his fourth album, Wope, was one of the largest ever in Ghana. Wope was groundbreaking for the hiplife genre in that it featured several major international stars, including Freddy Meiway from Côte d’Ivoire on the title track and Tony Tetuila of Nigeria on “Fefe n’efe“, which sampled Fela Kuti. His fifth album, Accra Connection, featured collaborations with Sway DaSafo, Rhian Benson, D’Banj, and JJC.

Biography / Profile of Ghanaian Music artiste, Tic

She is the first of five children. Raised in a mission home, she learnt very early how to take on responsibility and to look after others before herself.

EDUCATION

In 2004, she moved back to Ghana, the country that she now calls home, where she subsequently attended Wesley Girls High School. She then went on to pursue a journalism degree at the Ghana Institue of Journalism, and practiced in the field thereafter.

MUSIC CAREER

Her foray into music started with the release of the hit mashups Baafira-Adonai and the Evolution of Gh Music, and now, after the release of her first original music project, Afraba the EP, Adomaa the full time artiste has come to stay.

She just won the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards Unsung Artiste 2016, confirming her status as one of the brightest young talents in Ghana at the moment.

Adomaa grew up in a very musical family and as such, music played a big part in her life from very early on. She developed a strong attachment to a certain kind of music; a passion for the kind of sound that is not merely listened to and moved on, but the kind that reaches deep into the listener’s soul, deeply affects their emotions, and has the power to influence perspectives.

For the longest time, music has been her source of strength when life gets tough. She hopes that through herself, she can provide others the same type of strength that she has found in her art.

– I love to sing. It’s my getaway, my only sanctity. Singing soothes my soul when my world seems to crumble. It’s my bout of joy, joy which is only augmented if this same effect is attained by people when I sing. – Adomaa

Adomaa is bringing a refreshing new surge of unique artistry to the world of Ghanaian music, with her personal style: an exclusive melange of jazz, soul, highlife and afrobeat, with a voice that may sound sweet and light, but has the ability to reach into the depths of a listener’s soul. As more than just a musician, Adomaa’s desire is to personally touch people’s lives and simply bring them joy through her music, as well as create an individualistic blend of jazz and Afro pop culture that relates to as many people as possible. Her desire is not just to be an entertainer, but to be a relevant entertainer, that performs and shares her talent with true meaning.

The one genre of music that spoke first to me was Jazz in 1998, when I heard the song L.O.V.E by Michael Buble from the soundtrack of the movie, Parent Trap. Since then, I’ve followed the likes of Michael Buble to the sultry vintage sounds of Ella Fitzgerald, Sinatra etc. – Adomaa

There are many adjectives to describe the kind of sonic art Adomaa produces; she can be sweet yet soulful, soothing or sultry, vintage but classy, African and creative. But above all, Adomaa is just herself, a simple, down-to-earth soul with a positive outlook on life, and her mission right now is to spread and share her music, talent and art far and wide so that as many people as possible can benefit and find inspiration from the very thing from which she draws hers. Yenkor!

EARLY LIFE

His love for the art started at a very young age when he’d drum on tables whilst his friends and family at times sang along to tunes. He then progressed to playing the school drum for his primary and Junior high School.

Biography / Profile of Ghanaian DJ , Deej Mitchy Chudson

Worlasi is an intriguing contrast: hyper confident yet humble, hungry for knowledge and simultaneously overflowing with it, overly optimistic but keen-sighted to life’s harsh realities. These attributes bleed raw into his music, resonating through his rough, baritone soul and the experimental undertones of his music in a painfully linear industry.

His breakthrough single, Ay3 Adz3 set him apart from his peers He caps off such focused and realistic lyricism with his mixtape project, Nus3 released in September. Nus3 is a super jumbo bundle of motivation, assertiveness and self-
belief. This was his first major project and it already has people calling him a god. He released a second major project which has also nothing short of breathtaking and shot compelling visuals for two of his singles- One Life and Nukata.

Since then he has worked and bagged features with artistes like EL, M.anifest, Hammer of Da Last Two, Sena Dagadu and shared songs with the likes of Sarkodie and Kwaw kese.

He has shared stage with some of Ghana’s finest musical acts on platforms such as ACCRA [dot]ALT’s Sabolai Radio, rock group, Dark Suburb’s Awakening concert, Beatphreaks, The Unheard Voices etc.

Embodying a die hard rap dream, Lil Shaker has pulled himself by the bootstraps as a bystander into a frontrunner in GH rap.

Ironically, Shaker’s name has nothing to do with his music game. He was christened Lil Shaker for breaking ankles on the basketball court. These days, all he does is break beats on the mic and the consoles.

Shaker is born Phillip Yaw Atiemo to Eugene Atiemo and Jasmine Ameko, a chemical engineer and graphic/set designer respectively. He heeded his call to music while a student at the Accra High School. He formed his own set, “Graveyard,” and made baby steps to a legit career rapping over beats of Hip Hops majors like Nas, Ja Rule etc. January 2004 marked his coming of age. He broke from Graveyard and teamed up with fellow rapper ….. to form the Hiplife duo “Kafungbe.”The turning point in his career came when he met Jayso who advised them to switch to Hip Hop beats. Jazzed by the in-form hip life trend at the time, Shaker stuck to his stance.

Infected by Jayso’s production skills, he won the battle of wills with his mother over her PC which became his fi rst production station. He started to record himself and friends: Screw, Joey and Killmatic (Mic Wreckerz) Shaker was stung into action by the Skillions Demotapes and forged ahead with coaching from Jayso. With the game getting thicker, Shaker sought to standout of the horde. He schemed a pidgin tract to chip some attention his way. “And So Whut” proved his trump card and he got him a deal with Skillions Records. The single caused a stir on the Hip Hop scene and attracted the legendary Wanluv Kubolor to appear on the remix.

With his reputation build and his notoriety on the rise, Shaker put himself to the test. He dropped two singles off his solo mixtape. His confirmation came in two days. The single –“School” – copped 70 000 downloads and later the Birthday Mixtape topped 10,000 downloads. Shaker has hogged the airwaves for a minute, producing hits like Breathe by Dblack and kwaku T featuring Jayso and Facebook Girl/Facebook Boy featuring killmatic, Tiffany and Jane. He is currently signed to Ghana’s biggest record label & multimedia company, BBnZ Live.

With his reputation build and his notoriety on the rise, Shaker put himself to the test. He dropped two singles off his solo Birthday mixtape. He became main stream in 2010 with the release of this mixtape under the Skillions Records imprint. He had success with this mixtape with songs such as LETTER TO JACKIE APPIAH, FACEBOOK BOY and SCHOOL, which took him to all parts of the country to perform. His hit single, I NO DEY SEE YOU SEF saw him bring together the likes of Sarkodie, Edem, Joey B, Raquel and Bra Kevin on one song . His talent has not gone unnoticed as his nickname Captain Hook was bestowed upon him by fans for his excellent choruses.

She changed her stage name from Miss Jane to Efya prior to starting her solo career. In an interview posted on Modern Ghana, Efya said: “When I decided to go solo, it made sense at the time to reinvent myself in every way, I wanted a name that was African and unique but at the same time relevant to me in some way.

Obrafour grew up with music. He was influenced by his mother, who sang in the local church choir. He then got the chance to sing at church at his mother’s invitation and as fate would have it, he formed a quartet during his secondary school which performed Gospel songs. His mum’s death caused him to stop singing.

Through some encouragement by some friends, he decided to take up music more seriously. At that time, Reggie Rockstone, the Godfather of hiplife, had released his successful “Maka a maka” album and Obrafour was inspired. He had also realized the emergence of artistes like Ex Doe, Chicago, Akyeame, and Lord Kenya, etc. He decided to be different from these pioneers and create his own style.

As he began attending various auditions and performances, he met a few bumps and setbacks until he met Edward Nana Poku Osei aka Hammer. Hammer was an amateur beat maker and did not take the music business seriously until he met Obrafour. From Hammer’s own words, they ‘clicked’. For Obrafour and Hammer (the Last 2) fans, the rest is history.
