I almost quit music –Amakye Dede
Veteran highlife artiste, Daniel Amakye Dede has revealed the circumstances that led to his long-lasting music career.
He said he almost gave up on doing music in Ghana but after selling records in Nigeria, his perspective changed for the better.
“In fact, there was a time I decided to quit music because it wasn’t easy doing music in Ghana in those days. I had to sometimes beg my producer at the time for my records to be released for sales. So I decided to go to Nigeria, whilst there I composed ‘To be a man na war’ and God being so good the record attracted the attention of many,” he told Becky on E Vibes.
Ghanaian Highlife Legend, Amakye Dede has revealed what it takes for one to be called a legend.
Speaking with Becky in an exclusive interview on E-VIBES Show, the ‘To be a man’ hitmaker said as long as one makes very good use of the talent given and has lived up to expectations, he deserves to be called a legend.
“If God gives you a chance to do something, you have to do it well so that people will appreciate it and they will give you the name “Legend”
Amakye Dede began his career in 1973 when he joined the Kumapim Royals as a composer and vocalist.
