About this user
Born in Ghana, Nii grew up in Kumasi, a city in Ghana and the cradle of Palm Wine Music where greats like Koo Nimo etc. made their mark. His love for traditional and Highlife music was influenced by musicians like Nana Ampadu, Kofi Ghanaba etc. as well as folk -mixed-guitar music by the likes of Wolomei etc.
Through college, he was involved with music through studio work and playing live. He wrote and edited scripts for other musicians as well. Any one who heard his material, encouraged him to record them.
He recognized, that though people love African Music, they don't understand our consoling, advising, encouraging and love-expressing lyrics so he made decided to where possible to sing translate his lyric in languages that will satisfy this need.
Nii has done a lot in music as elaborated above, and has performed on the same stages and festivals as some of the great musicians of this age. Greats like Youssou N'Dour, Papa Wemba, Ziggy Marley, Stevie Wonder, A.B Crentsil etc. on hearing his music, have nothing but praise for him. His stage presence is a must see.
After years of hard work, he has released his first of ten albums "Highlife Time", which he hopes will bring Highlife Music back into the main stream and raise the interest and patronization again the world over. A great Artist and Ambassador of African Music.
