Ghanaian artiste Romeo Swag appeared on 3Music TV’s Morning Bite earlier today, where he opened up about his latest projects, his musical journey, and a recent personal tragedy that has deeply influenced his work
The 12th edition of Angel Fair Africa (AFA@12) lit up the Google Office in New York City with the same energy and showmanship that defines Africa’s entertainment scene
In a landmark move for Ghana’s music and creative industries, Virgin Music Group, the world’s leading partner to independent artistes and labels, has announced a global distribution partnership with Ghana’s premier digital and creative agency, MiPROMO
Around 2012, he starts experimenting with short, funny videos that reflect everyday life. These simple, relatable skits quickly catch fire on YouTube and social media, reshaping his career entirely. Now, the same man who builds a digital empire from the streets of Kumasi is taking that energy live and bringing his signature humor, chaos...
Dr. Likee acknowledges some industry people who have supported him over the years. “God bless Asamoah Gyan wherever he is, he literally gave me dollars to buy my first camera”
As the world marks Pink October, students from GH Schools are stepping up to champion the fight against breast cancer through a series of health–focused and empowering activities this month.
Having parted ways with Empire, Yaw Tog revealed that going independent has been a challenge but one that gives him freedom and ownership. “It’s a crazy journey. You have to raise everything by yourself capital, budget, everything. But I like to be in control.”, he divulged.
“She started supporting when I said I wanted to do music,” he said with a smile. “She was giving me cash…” As difficult as growing up in the spotlight was, Yaw Tog admits that public expectations were often overwhelming. He says, “I think people thought I was like 30 years old…the pressure was too much.”
“This grant recognises the power of festivals to create meaningful global connections, and we are super excited to be at the forefront of it all” said Evan Eghan, Founder of Accra Indie Filmfest.
Ghanaian artiste Demmi was a guest on the Morning Bite segment of 3Music TV’s Culture Daily show, where he opened up about his evolving journey in the music industry and the diverse experiences shaping his artistry
“…we just landed in the industry without knowledge, we realized that this is capital intensive and we didn’t have all that money…” she mentions, further noting how monies spent were not made back also because she was a new artiste and people were unwilling to buy copies.
One day, she said, ‘Diana, take a look!’ I realized she had only one breast. She told me she was going back to the doctor because he said it was a 50/50 chance of survival. Sadly, she didn’t make it,” she recalls.
