About Me

I am a professional mason(building contractor) and I do music as well.I take a building contract and build it with my workers (tillers, carpenters, steal benders, plumbers and other labourers)... Am a hard worker and I don't joke with my work.I started doing music since 1999 that I saw that music is my passion, l started writing and singing my own songs at the age of 13 in class 6,l went through a lot at that time because studio to record wasn't there in my home town (Nkwatia -Kwahu) and the spirit of music always push me to blow... I completed Junior Secondary School in the year 2004 at Nana Ayiripe Memorial school, l was very intelligent
and I top class from day one until I finish school... I couldn't continue Senior Secondary School because we are twins and only our mom is looking after us including our two brothers and three sisters ,this situation let me went crazy because I was always willing to achieve my dreams, I have no option than to leave home because I always cry when I see my class mates in a secondary school uniform .I traveled all the way from my home town to Accra the capital of Ghana so that I can make my dreams come through.. I was homeless in Accra for more than a year before someone gave me his uncomplited building to stay ...All that time l was only serious on the music, I pushed and pushed until I join a radio rap battle,PinkFM Battle the mic 2010,At the end I won and I was crown rap king... But one sad thing is that they couldn't fulfil their promises... This made me frustrated and it nearly killed my talent ,at that time too l was into construction learning .... My master was a building contractor and since I was very intelligent, he like me very well and he use to handle some of his contracts to me to supervise, I used that opportunity to study and learn everything about building and construction except electricals because I was afraid of electricity , I became master my self in the year 2011 and my master gave me a certificate.... I have been taking my own contract since that time and it has helped me alot in both my life time and my music career... I have a wife and four kids and I am also managing my self in the Music Industry... I have not been able to blow hard in the Music Industry but few know my name when it comes to music.! My songs are on all media platforms especially YouTube.

Am still struggling to achieve my goals because am now a family man and am very responsible because of what I have been through... I don't want any of my children to go through what I went through because I nearly lost my passion including my life.

My Business

I take building contracts ,I charge and take half of the money before I start work, I sometimes start with my money before I got part payment depending on the customer that am dealing with.... I don't start working with my money for a customer that I haven't work with before.
I always go to studio for recordings in the night ,l normally perform on stage night too....almost 80percent of my music time is night.... I have more songs and freestyles on YouTube ..

Project Proposal

I am using this amount of money to buy building materials for my new contact... Sometimes to win a big contract you have to sacrifice your self by using your own money to start the work before you get part payment and that is exactly what I am about to do now
