Highlife musician, Kwabena Kwabena holds the firm belief that music is
inbuilt and one can never learn to become a talented musician in
school.
According to the award winning musician, born George Kwabena Adu, an
individual can go to school to learn the technical aspects of music
but can never acquire the needed knowledge to be a talented musician.
Speaking in an interview on Personality Profile on Drive Time on Joy
FM with Lexis Bill, Kwabena Kwabena said music is born with an
individual and not acquired.
He explained that, "music is inbuilt. I just want to put on record
that music is not anything you go to school or anywhere to learn. It
has to be something which is inbuilt, something which is a talent then
you can enhance it."
Asked if an individual cannot go to school and become a good musician,
the award winning musician was swift in responding, "hell no!"
The 'Asor' hit singer stressed that an individual can go to school to
become a "technical musician but not a talented musician like you know
the technicalities of music."
Apart from music, Kwabena Kwabena is a draftsman by profession and he
explained that he studied that course at the polytechnic because he
was inspired by his love for buildings.
"Anything creativity had been my passion since childhood. I always
wanted to do something so going to school to choose a profession [on
the] academic side. I always wanted to be on the construction field
where I can create, I can build [houses]…".
For now, the talented singer says he is currently not practicing
draftsmanship commercially but he will be going back to school next
year to study architecture.
With four albums to his credit, Kwabena Kwabena is bracing up to
celebrate his tenth anniversary doing commercial music next year.He
plans to hold several tours and a mammoth concert to celebrate
anniversary.
He believes that the highlife music genre can and will achieve its
full potential if more musicians embrace the genre and produce more
songs from it.
"I'm asking all those highlife musicians at home, let's get to work,
let's hit the studios. Let's produce highlife music, if we have enough
highlife music out there, people will listen to it," the singer urged.
Kwabena Kwabena recently lost his dad.
