Ghanaian highlife musician and songwriter Akwaboah revealed that most of the songs he wrote for other artistes at the beginning of his career were for free.

In an interview on Daybreak Hitz with DJ Slim, Akwaboah disclosed that he composed Becca's popular song 'Daa Ke Daa' without expecting payment.

"I wrote 'Daa Ke Daa' by Becca for free, I didn’t know anything about payment at that time," he stated.

According to Akwaboah, he rather reveled in seeing the song become a hit and played on TV or radio. And as a young upcoming artiste at the time, he said he was also happy about the fact that his contribution to Becca's song would give him some exposure and mileage.

Apart from Becca, Akwaboah has written songs for artistes such as Efya, Kofi Sarpong, Sarkodie, among others.

Akwaboah also opened up about his Christian background and how it influences his music. As a choir master and keyboardist at his church for almost 24 years, Akwaboah emphasised that his gift lies in writing love songs.

"I do love songs. I'm still the same keyboardist, the same choir master, but my gift is writing love songs. I don't miss choir rehearsal," he said.
