13 WWW.DAILYHERITAGE.COM.GH DAILY HERITAGE WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 2019 •Efia Odo Stop bashing artistes – Akoo Nana BY ERICA ARTHUR Teach your children how to live, not celebrities — Efia Odo ACCORDING TO Efia Odo, she is the embodiment of girls staying true to themselves because she does not pretend to be an angel and the devil in detail behind the curtains. The actress, who is constantly criticized for her risqué lifestyle, was also caught up in a near fight encounter with Counsellor Lutterodt over a provocative dress she was wearing then. Defending her stance on whatever she decides to do, though other young girls may be looking up to her, Efia Odo said she is rather influencing such young girls to be real and not to please society. In a counter submission to Counsellor Lutterodt, who was on the show saying that children still look up to Efia and so she should live a life worth emulating, she said, “The parents should teach their children what to do, not the influencer.” POPULAR GHANA- IAN afrobeat musician William Ato Ankrah, known in the music scene as Akoo Nana, is cautioning Ghanaians to stop bashing artistes for having fewer audience to attend their shows outside Ghana. Speaking at the launch of Young Mission Entertainment last Friday, February 22, 2019, at the Golden Tulip Hotel in Accra, Akoo Nana expressed disappointment in most Ghanaians for measuring the popularity of an artiste based on the number of people who attend his or her events outside Ghana. He said, “Let’s start supporting our music anywhere we find ourselves. It has never been easy getting Ghanaians patronize a show outside Ghana, so if an artiste organises a show in UK and gets more than 100 people as audience, let’s not criticize them due to the low patronage.” According to him, if Ghanaians here in Ghana can support their artistes, then it can transcend to Ghanaians and other nationals outside Ghana. The CEO of Young Mission Entertainment, Frimpong Ebenezer Nana Yaw Amoako, also shared some of the challenges as • MUSIGA president Bice Osei Kuffour (Obour), Frimpong Ebenezer Nana Yaw Amoako( CEO YM Entertainment) and Akoo Nana at the launch event organizers outside Ghana. At the launch Amoako, in an address, said, “the company is very poised to projecting Ghanaian music and musicians of Ghanaian descent across Europe. We are a reputable company with a mission to invade the industry and even do better than our previous projects. “Young Mission Entertainment was founded in 2015 in Paris, France. In our past dealings, we have been able to take on bookings and tours for notable Ghanaian artistes and various organizations across without any issues. We have worked with Obrafour, Kofi Kinaata, BisaKdei, Patapaa, and a host of others.” Amoako said Young Mission had opened its doors wider by getting closer to the industry in its home country, Ghana, hence the launch of a local wing in the country. MUSIGA President, Bice Osei Kuffour (Obour), BisaKdei, Akoo Nana, Sista Afia, budding female Dancehall artiste Singjay, Akiyana, among other key musicians attended the ceremony. The launch highlighted documentaries from Young Mission’s previous projects as well. Young Mission Entertainment is open for business in Ghana; they are scouting for artistes and new content ahead of the summer to take on bookings for Europe. Be more attractive for features — Viberz BY ERICA ARTHUR BUDDING GHANAIAN music duo, Viberz, have hit hard on Lynx Entertainment signee and Ghanaian young high lifer, Kidi after he vented his frustration about the difficulty he is faced with in reaching out to veteran musicians for collaborations. According to the duo, though getting a veteran or a mainstream artiste for feature on a song comes with lots of frustration they feel some young artistes go through this frustration because of something they have ignored and they are to be blamed for that. In an interview, they said, “Well, we think the big artistes are doing well though it’s not that easy out here. Young artistes should work themselves out well and make themselves attractive to encourage top artistes to collaborate with them or help them.” Viberz, who are preparing to take the African music to the shores of the rest of the world, have promised to serve Ghanaians with authentic tunes with great messages,“Not much different but the message is always our priority, since we think music is medicinal.” Viberz are out with their current song dubbed ‘Bless me today’, which features Ras Kuuku. ‘Bless Me’ is one of the most realistic and motivational piece which depicts the story of the Biblical character Jacob, which inspired the title of the song . The song was written by #Viberz and Brainworkx and produced by Brainworkxbeatz and mastered by Possigee. The song stands as a tool that shapes the mind of a hustler to work hard and celebrate his success. • Viberz group artistes
