Shasha Marley<\/strong><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
Popular Ghanaian roots reggae artiste Julius Amua-Sekyi, known in the music scene as Shasha Marley, is currently in the studios working tirelessly on his upcoming singles.<\/p>\n
The seasoned reggae performer and songwriter has composed songs that entertain, motivate, and educate his audience while yet retaining his originality.<\/p>\n
He claims that in his capacity as a reggae musician, the lyrics of his songs should inspire and uplift listeners to live better lives.<\/p>\n
He, however, disclosed that his present goal as a reggae artiste is to use his music to educate the youth on moral and other virtues.<\/p>\n
According to him, he wants the whole world to benefit from his music because his music talks about everyday life, adding that his songs are motivational, which encourages people to adopt positive thinking in their day to day activities.<\/p>\n
As one of the few remaining reggae acts in the country at the moment, Shasha is credited with a number of popular songs including \u201cTwin City Mafia\u201d, \u201cI\u2019m Not Ashamed of the Gospel of Jah\u201d, and \u201cMaata Family\u201d, among others.<\/p>\n
He mentioned that his music career was influenced by legendary musicians including Jimmy Cliff, Steel Pulse, Bob Marley, and Winston Rodney (of Burning Spear), among others.<\/p>\n
He launched his first song, \u201cTell Freedom\u201d, which went on to become a big hit both in Ghana and abroad. He also has a number of tracks to his credit.<\/p>\n
The successful songs \u201cSeek Ye Good\u201d and \u201cNot Evil\u201d were featured on the album \u201cTell Freedom\u201d, which Shasha Marley published in 1999.<\/p>\n
He coordinated an effort against HIV\/AIDS in Africa in 2000 with 15 of Ghana\u2019s best musicians. Johns Hopkins University sponsored the release of the song \u201cStop AIDS, Love Life\u201d in New York.<\/p>\n
He is credited with a number of awards which include;2007Best Male Vocal Performance and Best Reggae Song of the Year (Ghana Awards), 2010,Best African Reggae Artiste of the Year(KORA All Africa Awards), 2017 Honours(Department of Education) at the University of Education, Winneba, Legendary Award Honour(Accra FM- NkranKwanso),2022 Lifetime Achievement Honour(610 Awards), among others.<\/p>\n
