Eno Barony
Ghanaian female rapper and songwriter, Ruth Eno Adjoa Amankwah Nyame Adom, known in showbiz as Eno Barony, has revealed that her focus now as an artiste is to help effect positive change in society through her music.
Eno Barony, who shot her way into the limelight a few years ago, and has grown to become a reliable artiste on the local music scene, is recognised as one of the fast rising artistes in Ghana today.
She believes that with what she has learnt so far as an artiste, and with her style of music and stage craft, she would make an impact on Ghana’s music industry very soon.
The rapper explained that she is more concerned about the real impact of her music on listeners and fans, adding that working on such is her priority.
“When I started doing music, it was all about having fun coupled with goodwill messages. But when I noticed the kind of impact my music made after the release of ‘Do Something’ featuring Wendy Shay, I decided to do more of those,” she told JoyNews.
She added that initially all she wanted to do was to impress her male colleagues with her lyrical dexterity, but realised she had both genders to inspire.
“First I always wanted to impress guys with my music because I thought girls don’t like rap music but then it’s for both genders. I keep inspiring with my music. I did ‘Life’ and even ‘God is a woman’ songs are meant to inspire women,” she indicated.
Meanwhile, Eno Barony has released her second album ‘Ladies First’ meant to impact women across the globe exclusively.
Eno Barony announced her presence in the music industry in 2014 with her first single, ‘Wats Ma Name’.
She later recorded more songs including ‘Megye Wo Boy’ in 2015, in which she collaborated with Abrewa Nana.
In 2016, she recorded a single, ‘Daawa’ with Shatta Wale and also worked with hiplife rapper Kwaw Kese on a single titled ‘Gari’.
Other collaborations also featured singles ‘Touch the Body’ with Stonebwoy and ‘King of Queens’ with Medikal.
In 2017, she released a song titled ‘Juice Me’, followed by another single with Ebony Reigns, titled ‘Obiaa Ba Ny3’.
In November 2020, she won the African Muzik Magazine Awards (AFRIMMA) award for Best Best Female Rap Act in Africa.
She also won an award at the 2021 3Music Awards to become the first female artiste in Ghana to have won the Rapper of the Year award.
