\"Solomonplay video<\/span>Solomon recalling his experience<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

It took paramedics 48 hours to rescue the body of a young man who was stuck underneath rubble of a collapsed building in Achimota. Seven years later, he is in sync to become one of Ghana\u2019s hottest music producers.<\/p>\n

The three-story building that once housed a Melcom shopping centre ripped a large chunk of 26-year-old Solomon Amoh\u2019s left ear and crippled use of his right hand. But determined to rise above adversity, he raised funds and built a recording studio where he produces hits for the country\u2019s top artists.<\/p>\n

While Amoh lie helpless underneath the wreckage, he \u201chad to drink my own urine to survive,\u201d Amoh told JoyNews\u2019 Komla Adom at his studio in Darkuman. \u201cIt was a difficult experience. It wasn\u2019t easy.\u201d<\/p>\n

At one point, he could not sleep, he recalls, but parts of what kept him up at night was a pull for him to begin making music.<\/p>\n

He invested in equipment and taught himself how to make beats, which include Afrobeats, highlife, trap and techno.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, and gospel. I didn\u2019t add that one but it is important,\u201d he said with a laugh.<\/p>\n

Years later, his songs have caught the attention of the likes of Captain Planet and Kwami Eugene, among others. His goal is to become a household name.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am not a rich guy but I am praying one day I will be rich,\u201d he said. \u201cOne day, it will be done.\u201d<\/p>\n
