This week on Joy Prime's Autograph, host Nathaniel Attoh delves deeper
into the career of one of Ghana's legendary hiplife artiste- Obrafuor.
Born Kwaku Okyere Darko,Obrafuor grew up with music. He was
influenced by his mother, whosang in the local church choir.
He then got the chance to sing at church at his mother's invitation
and as fate would have it, he formed a quartet during his secondary
school and performed Gospel songs.
His mum's death caused him to stop schooling.
Obrafour recorded his first album" Pae Mu Ka" with Hammer of the last
two fame being the producer.
Hammer helped Obrafour secure a deal with Abraham Ohene Djan (OM
Studios) and in late 1999, Obrafour's first album, 'Pae mu ka' was
produced and distributed.
The album was an acclaimed success and a breath of fresh air on the
music scene but Obrafuor reveals he never really made money from it.
He says he will not mime again butwill only play live at shows from now.
Ghana Rap sofo is making a big return and has started with 3 singles:
one with manifest, and one with Lousika.
If you want to know the third single, make a date with Autograph
exclusively on Joy Prime on Multi TV this Saturday at 8:30pm.
