“When I started this music career most people said I wont reach anywhere…I bought a pentium 2 PC, installed fruity loops and started playing beats and all i could hear people say was, my beats were too dry and sounded like ‘konko’. But Paa Kwesi of TV3 “Music Music” fame gave me the opportunity to showcase a song i recorded called ‘dem a funny’… He believed in my beat and that motivated me…Akuma Village, Tawala, Labadi Beach and Nima was the only place i was pushing my music. Big up to Osagyefo, Kojo Kombolo, Jah T, Mama and Papa Tawala, Billy Jane and her team for believing in me…They motivated me”.
