Veteran Ghanaian actor Kofi Adjorlolo has opened up about his true passion, revealing that he originally had dreams of becoming a musician, not an actor.
Speaking on The Liz Show with Elizabeth Essuman, Adjorlolo shared that during his childhood, many believed he was destined for a music career due to his natural talent.
He recounted how his musical journey began at the age of eight, when he started learning to play the trumpet. Over time, his dedication led him to perform with renowned musicians, including Gyedu Blay Ambolley and Sir Victor Uwaifo.
“I love music so much that as of 8 years old, I could play the trumpet so well,” Kofi disclosed.
He even had the opportunity to play with legendary musicians like Gyedu Blay Ambolley and Sir Victor Uwaifo.
Despite becoming a household name through acting, Adjorlolo expressed his frustration with the challenges actors face in Ghana. He pointed to the lack of support systems and absence of insurance as major setbacks for professionals in the industry.
“Honestly, I wouldn’t encourage my children to go into acting. The current situation in Ghana isn’t encouraging, attractive, or enabling for young ones to thrive in this field. Do we even have insurance to back our actors and actresses?” he stated.
