Akosua Agyapong, veteran musician<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

In Ghana, until recently, some parents would not allow their children follow their passion, especially when it came to music. This assertion has been confirmed by highlife musician Akosua Agyapong. <\/p>\n

In an interview with Delay on the Delay Show, Ms Agyapong disclosed that her mother didn\u2019t want her to follow her path of becoming a musician because it wasn\u2019t so \u201cpleasing\u201d back in the days. <\/p>\n

To ignite her passion, the popular singer said if not for highlife musician Nana Ampadu\u2019s convincing words, her mother wouldn\u2019t have allowed her to pursue music. <\/p>\n

Explaining how it happened, Ms Agyapong said she deliberately invited her mother\u2019s favourite musician, Mr Ampadu to their home. <\/p>\n

Upon seeing him, she jumped in delight and immediately changed her mind by paying for her studio sessions in subsequent days. <\/p>\n

She told Delay: \u201cI told Nana Ampadu about my mom. She didn\u2019t want to allow me do music but he was her favourite so I invited him over. I had lost my dad by then. When she saw Nana Ampadu she was so happy and agreed to allow me follow my passion.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe paid for my studio sessions and through that I released my first album,\u201d Ms Agyapong explained.<\/p>\n

Ms Agyapong became a household name in the mid-1990s for both her sweet voice and her decorative dance moves. <\/p>\n

Her first album, \u2018FREMA\u2019 was full of hit songs such as \u2018Me ye Obaa\u2019 which was patronised by many Ghanaians. <\/p>\n
