Afezi Perry
Highlife youngster, Perry Addison, known in showbiz circle as Afezi Perry, has said musicians from other parts of Ghana deserve equal attention as given their counterparts in Accra and Kumasi.
Perry’s assertion follows a longtime squabble that Accra and Kumasi-based musicians are given more attention, especially in radio airplay than their colleagues in the other regions.
According to him, “I believe it is gradually changing because in recent times I have listened to works of some Takoradi-based musicians on some Accra stations. It is a good thing and we should keep it up. Let us continue to give all artistes a level playing ground and equal attention because we all deserve it.”
Perry who grew up in Takoradi started singing at age 10, and is inspired by the American musician, Shaggy. He is currently one of the household names in Sekondi-Takoradi with a large fan base and equally good songs.
Among his song credits are ‘Wonkoa’ ‘Ahaban’ and ‘D??d?w’.
The singer who completed Nkroful Agricultural Senior High School in the Western Region also has three music videos to his credit, and is also currently signed to a new record label called Lord M Entertainment.
“Music has always been my passion and I’m not surprised I find myself doing music to day,” he added.
