Early Life and Career
He was born and raised in Wassa Atieku, Ghana's Western Region.[5] As the first of his mother's four children, he began his musical career at a young age by making instruments and performing.[6]
He has won several awards, such as Best Song, Best Album, and Best Live Act. In 2000 and 2002, he was chosen as Ghana's Best International Music Ambassador.[7][8] He headlined the "Asa Baako" (One Dance) festival at Busua Beach in the Western Region of Ghana alongside rapper M.anifest.[9] He has performed on stage with a variety of musicians, including Gyedu Blay Ambolley and Atongo Zimba.[10]He urged Shata Wale and Samini to end their fight.[11] He expressed worry over the royalties paid by the Ghana Music Right Organization (GHAMRO).[12]
"I used the royalties I got abroad to buy land and build a house abroad. Don't even raise that issue. If I decided to deal with them GHAMRO, it would be an issue, so I don't want to talk about it. I was given GH¢100. And another time I was given GH¢2,000, even that one I haven't touched till now because I've reserved it to do something With the number of my songs that have been played in Ghana, I'm supposed to earn a lot."
