It’s barely 12 days to the much anticipated musical concert ‘Tigo Ghana Meets Naija’ slated for the Accra International Conference Centre.
Celebrating five years of Ghana Meets Naija concert, organisers of the concert – Empire entertainment and Tigo Ghana - have put together three resilient acts from Ghana; Sarkodie, Stonebwoy, and Shatta Wale to battle out the Mavins crew from Nigeria.
Last week we brought you an in-depth profile of two of the great artistes that will be performing on the night. And today, we are again delving into the lives of three of the talented super stars who will be performing on the same night of the event.
From Ghana we introduce to you, the much talked about dancehall artiste SHATTA WALE….
Born CHARLES NII ARMAH MENSAH JNR, he is a Ghanaian born reggae-dancehall musician to Charles Mensah Snr and Mama Elsie. His greatest song hit in 2013, Dancehall king took the airwaves by surprise after he was hard heard of in the music industry for 10 years.
Shatta Wale's musical revenue is mostly generated through hosting of shows which attracts more than 1000’s of Ghanaian youths.
He won Artiste of the Year at the 2014 edition of the Ghana Music Awards. Shatta Wale’s hardwork in 2014, got him nominated for the maiden and highly prestigious GN Bank Awards as the People’s Choice Male Musician of the year.
Dancehall Commando featuring Sarkodie, party all night long featuring Jah Vinci, Wine ya waist featuring Davido and Korle Gonno are some of his hit tracks making waves locally and internationally.
