Stepped into the office with hopes for a good day, but it turned out to be nothing short of extraordinary.
Made my radio debut today, and every moment was an amazing experience 📻❤️
Thank you @janetquayson_ @chrystalkaryee @malisecullen @YawsonGeorge3 @3fm927

First 48 in Nairobi Kenya 🇰🇪 #TheAfricanDiaries
The roots of Afrobeats are deeply connected to Ghanaian musical traditions, including Kpanlogo, and that sound resonates with Ghanaians just as much as it does with Nigerians. So hold it right there with the “you can’t do Afrobeats better than Nigerians” narrative. The sound belongs to us as much as it belongs to them, albeit for different reasons. Nigeria may have popularised it on a global scale and, in many ways, modernised its presentation, but that doesn’t mean they’re inherently doing it better.
And do you people sometimes forget that music isn’t just production? Content plays a major role in the success of a song. So reducing the success of “Down Flat” to its production alone isn’t exactly accurate. The content of that song, love, is something incredibly relatable across different audiences. The production being that good was obviously a huge plus, but the song had something people could connect with.
Ghanaian artistes making Afrobeats shouldn’t have to mean replicating Nigeria. We have our own musical history, our own influences and our own way of interpreting the sound. The sound is ours too.
I’m a very shy young man. But the day I will get to meet @wendyshaygh, I’m going to be bold enough to tell her she’s one of the best to do this in the last decade. Too hard-working!

👨🏾🍳🇬🇭: My final take [A THREAD👇🏽]:
we need to & agree & be honest about what we want- good Ghanaian music, music that sounds uniquely Ghanaian, or both.
Because many of the arguments about what will make our sound globally visible keep conflating two different things.
🧵1/5
Please give us the “good enough for global appeal” music. We’re waiting.
What exactly did Sark say in this video that you haven't heard him say before? We have some amazing platforms here in Ghana that have conversations like these and even better interviews with artists. It’s not a 360 but we definitely aren't lacking on that side. Honestly.

👨🏾🍳🇬🇭: Came out of my hiatus briefly to remind y’all that NOBODY and I mean NO AFRICAN COUNTRY makes GOOD MUSIC like Ghana does.
Don’t let anybody gaslight you into believing otherwise.
We have our problems as an industry. PLENTY of them. But MAKING GOOD MUSIC has NEVER been one of them.
Argue about everything else. Not the music.
Shalom

A few days ago, I left Ghana, crossed borders, spent a few hours in Ethiopia, and finally made it to Mombasa, Kenya!
But this journey is about more than just visiting a new country.
I’m here for the Africa Investigative Journalism Lab 2026, a training bringing together journalists from across Africa to sharpen our skills in investigative reporting.
Over the next few days, we’ll be exploring how to ask tougher questions, follow the evidence, analyse data, uncover stories of public interest and hold power to account through responsible journalism.
It’s been an exciting journey so far, and I’m looking forward to the learning, the conversations, the connections and everything this experience has to offer.
Cheers to a New country. New perspectives. New lessons. And hopefully, stronger stories to tell.
Mombasa, let’s get to work!
