“Definitely it has had have effects on all of us because our President put a ban on public gatherings. It is shows that we perform to get money to feed ourselves so the ban has affected us somehow because of the mere fact that you can’t actually go out to perform”.

‘Number One’ hitmaker, Akwaboah Jnr. launched his music career in 2013 but in April 2010 he won songwriter of the year award at the Ghana Music Awards for writing SP Kofi Sarpong’s ‘Ayeyi Ndwom’ which became an instant hit.
