QUESTION #3: 2015 ACHIEVEMENTS
We asked Ghanaian Music Producers their greatest achievements for the year 2015 and here are their responses:
I finally got a place i can do the kind of music i want to do (Setting up live recording studio and rehearsal space for various bands in Ghana.
Genius Selection
I got to work with international acts (I’m not allowed to disclose their identity ) all thanks to Sarkodie and my fan base.
I also achieved a great deal of respect from few of the top notches running the music industry
Fortune Dane
That would be producing
- Kwaw Kese – Aseda
- EL – Koko
- Duke (D2) ft Shatta Wale – Too Sweet
and besides that , i was involved in a couple of singles as either a recording , mixing or a mastering engineer.
Pee GH
The night at E.L’s BAR2 concert when he performed All Black would have to be it for me.Even before the show i met people who would spaz after finding out i was Drumroll (Thanks to Kuvie). I even overheard people say they came to the show because of “All Black”.
Then that beat i produced in the corner of my living room with an earpiece started playing… the whole building went ballistic. I was at the top floor watching people that were outside roll back in, the screams, comments like “Herh this track, EL do all, Drumroll be sick”. You could barely hear El, Pappy & Joey’s voices as the crowd practically recited all three verses through each hook & chorus.
Never a more accomplishing moment so far in my journey as a producer.
Drumroll
This year my most cherished accomplishment would be releasing my KING RIDDIM and making it known to my fans .
Secondly , i was also on Coptic’s album this year (Rising Stars Of GH Vol. IV).
I have tracks coming way out of Gambia and Jamaica , and from November through to January next year, the real body of work should be out.
I am happy about this.Lastly, my release of “Atswei” video because its my first Official Music video out.

In the past year, nomination for best original score for movie “if you were mine” at the last Ghana movie awards and the public’s response to “the crusade”.
