MUSIC MAN: THE JOURNEY, Antwi reflects on his upbringing in Darkuman, Accra and traces his evolution from his early days with bands such as Classique Vibes to becoming a celebrated solo artiste.

The memoir provides candid insights into the stories behind his timeless hits, the hurdles he encountered and the values that sustained him, touching on themes of love, resilience and artistic growth.

Beyond documenting his musical accomplishments, the book also paints a vivid picture of Ghana’s socio-cultural landscape across the decades, highlighting the dynamic relationship between music, identity and personal history. Fittingly launched on the eve of Valentine’s Day, a season synonymous with love and connection the event carried added significance for fans who have long associated Antwi’s music with romance and heartfelt expression.
