Highlife maestro, Ben Brako shares keys to success

On the Myd Morning Show with Rev Erskine, Brako shared invaluable insights, reflecting on his musical odyssey from Ghana to the UK, and the genesis of his chart-topping hits dating back to his university days.

Brako underscored the pivotal role of strategic partnerships in the music realm, urging concerted efforts to champion local talent on a national platform.

"I crafted many of my timeless tunes right here in Ghana, during my university stint, before venturing to the UK. These compositions later soared to prominence," he revealed.

His impassioned plea resonated deeply, galvanizing young listeners to pursue their aspirations while championing cultural heritage and grassroots empowerment.
