Akosua Agyapong is a Ghanaian highlife musician and tv personality. She was born on November 17th, 1959, in Accra Ghana. She had her secondary education at the Holy Child High School in Cape Coast.

She is one indefatigable female musician who, at the peak of her career, gave her male counterparts in the world of highlife a good run for their money. Her name became a household word in the mid-1990s for both her sweet voice and her elaborate dance moves.

In 1992 she formed the Highlife Supergroup NAKOREX together with fellow Highlife artists Nat Brew and Rex Omar, the group's name being an acronym made up of the first letters of each member's name, and released the song "Kpanlogo".

Her first album, Frema released on January 1 1990 was full of inspirational songs like Me ye Obaa which became an instant hit. After the success of her album, she met Nat Brew and Rex Omar, who inspired her to release her subsequent album, Kokokoo, another instant hit.

Akosua has five albums to her credit, one in collaboration with NAKOREX and another as a member of NAKOREX. She was honored in August 2019 at an event dubbed “Celebrating Akosua Adjepong 30@50”. This was to celebrate her for having chalked 30 years as an artiste.

In 1994, she dated Amandzeba Nat Brew and they eventually got married but divorced a couple of years later. She is currently married to Prophet Daniel Asamoah-Larbi.

Akosua Agyapong has six children.
