In an interview on Kastle FM, a Cape Coast-based radio station, the songstress stated that she used to do her songs in reggae or dancehall songs in the patois language. “I did a pure reggae and dancehall song with patois in those songs and I went to see Mark Okuraku Mantey be my producer at that time”.
“When Mark Okraku Mantey listened to the song, I felt he’d love the song with my Jamaica accents to help me out but he said Ghanaians won’t appreciate such songs”.

“He advised me to go and change the entire song into the Ghanaian local dialect and I tried to do that so I had some great songs afterward,” Abrewa Nana told Amansan Krakye.
“Maybe it wasn’t the will of God for me to work with Mark Okraku Mantey and Bandex decided to support me so from there onwards I changed my patois songs into Twi,” she ended on the Kastle Entertainment Show.
