Multi-talented instrumentalist, songwriter and performing artiste, Akwaboah Jnr. has disclosed to Amansan Krakye on GBC Radio Central that he has been using the coronavirus pandemic times to write a lot of amazing songs.
Whilst many artistes are whining over the difficulties and
hardships the coronavirus pandemic has brought on them, Akwaboah Jnr. has
rather used the opportunities in the difficulties to his advantage.
“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”.
He revealed that as compared to other
artistes who often crave to go out to party, he is a reserved indoor person who
normally concentrates his efforts in writing good songs for the listening
pleasure of his followers.
“But as for me I’m really an indoor person so I devoted a lot of time to write more amazing songs and do other interesting stuffs. So yes the coronavirus has had an effect on us but in terms of music and business-wise, I have really benefited from this pandemic times”.
‘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.
