Kofi Kinaata<\/strong><\/p>\n Award winning hiplife\/highlife artiste and songwriter, Martin King Arthur, popularly known as Kofi Kinaata, has revealed that he places value on his fans more than any award scheme organised in the country.<\/p>\n According to \u2018Things Fall Apart\u2019 hitmaker, although awards boost the confidence of artistes, it\u2019s better to work hard to meet the demands of fans instead of targeting awards, adding that he is not much interested in winning awards.<\/p>\n Kofi Kinaata indicated that he does his songs primarily for his fans and not with the motive of winning awards.<\/p>\n Credited with hit songs such as \u2018Things Fall Apart\u2019, \u2018Confession\u2019, \u2018Behind The Scenes\u2019, \u2018Sweetie Pie\u2019 and the latest one, \u2018Thy Grace\u2019, the artiste indicated that it\u2019s his fans\u2019 support that has helped him to secure all the accolades and deals he has gained in his music career.<\/p>\n In an interview on Cape Coast-based Kastle FM<\/em> with Amansan Krakye, he said, \u201cThe fans stream the songs, they are the ones who attend my shows and pay gate fees, and they also make noise about my songs for firms to sign me as an ambassador.<\/p>\n \u201cToday, I want to state everything clear about this, when I release songs I don\u2019t think about winning an award at the VGMA. As for VGMA it\u2019s not even in my mind that I\u2019m doing this particular song around this time in order to win an award, no, that\u2019s not the case.\u201d<\/p>\n Kofi Kinaata won the best highlife Song of the Year Award at the 2022 Vodafone Ghana Awards (VGMA) with \u2018Thy Grace Part 1\u2019.<\/p>\n He is well known for his excellent songwriting skills.
