He further argued that his direction stems from a realization of the authenticity currently being longed for by music listeners.
“I think the feeling has been that Ghanaians would love to hear some authentic Ghanaian style coupled up with today’s sound. I realized that the people needed some nostalgic feeling, an authentic feeling. And we can use ‘JEJEREJE’ as a very typical example of ‘African sound.’ This is what the world wants to listen to right now, especially Africans globally.”
