Akosua Agyapong, a seasoned musician in Ghana, has said that the late Mzbel (real name Belinda Nana Ekua Amoah) was her inspiration when she was younger.
If you’re going to discuss some of the new artists, at that time I was like Mzbel,” she stated on Joy News.
The singer/dancer claims that her popularity during her heyday was due to her genuine enthusiasm for the arts.

Akosua said she was looking to switch things up, so she decided to start teaching others how to dance and inviting them to join her on stage.
“Way back in Holy Child, because I normally teach people how to dance, I told myself that definitely, with my first album, I have to train people to dance so that I can bring in something new because I realised that people were not bringing in dancers to dance,” she said.

Akosua said she was able to fulfil her ambition of training excellent stage dancers.
“When I came out with my first album, Frema, Born Again, Mey3 obaa, it was a household name because I came with dancers.
“Way back in school, because I used to dance, I added my dancing to it and it became something else. So that actually made me unique and made me different,” she added.
