Multiple award-winning singer-songwriter and producer, Gladstorm Kwabena Akwaboah Jr. has stated that he will pass the music baton to his children as his father did for him years ago because he believes there are blessings when you follow your father.
According to the ' I Do Love You ' hitmaker, his father was there for him from the beginning, which helped him realise his singing talent.
"... I will handle over the baton to my children because my father was there for me, and he has impacted a lot in my life, and I have to reciprocate it to my children," he started.
Speaking on Prime Morning on Monday, he said his father used to direct him on specific songs, which has positively impacted him.
He added that the impact from his father is a legacy that he cannot forget or let go of in a hurry; hence his plan is to pass his music talent to his children so that music will become the family's legacy.
"I am doing these things so that when my children grow, they will understand that when you support your father when he's growing, there are some blessings there," he added.
Akwaboah Jnr is a Ghanaian singer-songwriter and producer from Mampong Beposo. He is one artist whose voice rings a bell when playing on air or any musical device.
Akwaboah wrote, “Daa Ke Daa” for Becca and “Ayeyi Ndwom” for DSP Kofi Sarpong, two songs that won their respective artistes’ awards at the 2010 Ghana Music Awards.
Subsequently, he was adjudged the “Song Writer for the Year” for “Daa Ke Daa“.
His father, Mr Kwadwo Akwaboah, is also a singer but unfortunately has lost his sight, a situation he attributed to a spiritual attack on him.
Akwaboah, being a master keyboardist, has played for a lot of local and international artists, including Hugh Masekela and John Legend, and has assisted several musicians in making it big in the industry.
Reacting to the collaboration and performance with his dad, he added that it's a moment he will not forget because to date, his father still guides him on how to write songs and above all, it's a blessing to perform on the same stage with his father.
"My father has impacted on my music journey. To date, I still take my songs to him, and he assists in making changes, so when it comes to my father, it's a shoe I am trying to fill," he said.
