Ghanaian musician, Akwaboah has shared his thoughts about why many Ghanaians appreciate his songs.

The award-winning musician who is also a father of two shared this when he was interview on TV3 by Giovanni Caleb.

In his view, he is being appreciated because the lyrics in his songs speak to everyone, however, he was quick to add that it has not been easy for him as he has had to work hard to get to this level.

This comes after he revealed in an earlier interview that his father, Akwaboah Snr. has always been his mentor.

According to him, his father has been the main inspiration behind his music career so he had to feature him on some of his songs to honor the legend.

Speaking with Andy Dosty, Akwaboah revealed that mostly, when musicians are aging, Ghanaians turn to tag them as outmoded musicians, thus not patronizing their craft anymore.

He said that it would have been better for the new school to run back to the old legends to learn a thing or two from them rather than ignoring them, especially when they are at their peak.

Akwaboah also stated that he has to learn more from the legend because even with the fame he has garnered so far, he feels he cannot compare himself to his father.

Comparing his father’s era to his, Akwaboah stated that he hasn’t been able to live up to his father’s legacy even to date.

Akwaboah described his father as the best among his peers in his prime and still wears the crown so there is still much to be learned from him.

“I played a song to him on my album and within a few minutes, he was able to tell me what was wrong with the whole album. With such a personality in my life, I can never say his time is past because he has been a blessing to me”, he noted.
