Music is like a life-force to me. It has the power to heal, to inspire and accomplish so many things. I believe that one of the greatest things you can do is inspire people and music is such a powerful platform in which to achieve this. I'm sure we've all at some stage in our lives heard a song that moved us in such an overwhelming way that it touched our very souls.

Since I was young I've always loved performing. From the earliest days of being thrown on the stage and singing Michael Jackson songs in front of my primary school to performing at Melbourne's infamous night club Twister.

My earliest years were spent idolising artists like Lionel Ritchie, Bob Marley and MJ. I had a love of break-dancing which appeared evident at every birthday party I attended back in my hometown of Ghana (West Africa).

I'd always had a love for music and performing but it was not until I moved to Australia and commenced high school that I took the idea of performing as a career more seriously. At that stage I'd been in the Australian Boys Choir, however it wasn't until I auditioned for the school production singing a classic Jazz song 'As Time Goes By' that I started receiving attention and encouragement to follow a music career. As a result I was asked to join the school stage band. They performed Jazz music, a style I was already accustomed to and had a great love for. It was a great opportunity and humbling experience to sing with such fantastic musicians.

I performed with the school Jazz band throughout my senior years of high school along with a few solo performances at school concerts and in the corridors during wet days. Towards the final year I had no doubt in my mind that I wanted to pursue a career as a singer.

The following year I was introduced to a couple of guys who shared my passion, Paul and Adz. I was asked to join them to see what we could produce as a musical composite, which became Track 5.

Joining T5 was truly an awesome experience. We went through a lot over the years and it allowed me to hone my skills through many talent quests, live radio performances, competitions and gigs. During 2005 we toured Europe and released a promo album independently through Spin Music.

At present i'm engaged in carving up the gig scene throughout the country and promoting my long awaited self titled solo E.P. Can't wait for ya'll to check it out!

In the final analysis I feel we have to do what truly makes us happy in life. I don't want to look down the track in 5 years time, no pun intended, and have regrets about not following my heart.

Peace out & keep it real!
