Ebo'o Debut Hits Hard

For someone who announced his presence in the music industry with a single on Appeatus' compilation, Andy Kwabena Adisi, known in Showbiz circles as Ebo'o, must be counting himself lucky because his song "Once, Twice," is doing very well.

Apart from the massive airplay it is receiving country-wide, the song is rubbing shoulders with other highly rated ones on Channel O and number one hit for three weeks on Viewers Edition on the same channel.

"The response is unbelievable especially with the kids, to think that I love kids so much I am very grateful to God for the huge success my single is enjoying," were his words in an interview with this reporter.

Perhaps this should not come as a surprise to those who really know this young man. He happens to be the younger brother of radio and TV presenter Kwabena Anokye Adisi popularly known as Bola Ray.

Apart from music, Ebo'o has been following on the heels of his elder brother, having been a radio presenter on Radio Universe, Top Radio and Adom FM. "Undoubtedly Bola has been extremely supportive as well as his colleagues both in the print and electronic media and I am very very grateful to everyone who has played a role in bringing me this far," he said. Already, he has made appearances on some Radio and TV programmes like TV3's Music Music. When it comes to radio, Ebo'o has been a guest on most of the major radio stations in the country.What Ebo's fans ought to do now is to watch out for his album titled Ebo'oni with 11 tracks on CD and the usual eight on cassette.

He has scheduled the release of his album before Christmas. The album, according to Ebo'o, has songs to satisfy every music enthusiast.

"I've got my usual dancehall, highlife and reggae gospel, infact the album is an inspiration of what God has done for me."

Some of these songs are Jehovah, Mepe Woa Wogya Meho Ko, Bounce, Marry Me, Yen Do Yenho and the remix of Once, Twice.

"I love all the songs I do and I'm sure fans out there will be excited when they listen to all the songs on my debut." He featured Big Shot and Ben Ami who is a Jamaican based in London.

For now, Ebo'o has nothing to do with radio presenting, his reason being that he does not want any conflict. He probably might end up playing his own music all the time.

What the young man intends to do with majority of the money he makes out of his work is to take care of street children and those in orphanages.

"It is my prayer that I don't change my mind because it is something that I really want to do from the bottom of my heart," were his exact words.

When all is set, Ebo'o will call his foundation "Psalm 121." Ebo'o grew up in Obuasi and is the third of four boys born and bred by Mr John Adisi and Mrs Gladys Matilda Adisi.

"I'm extremely grateful to my mum for her immense support inspite of the fact that I was very naughty when I was growing up."

The general impression that Showbiz personalities bluff, does not exist in Ebo'o's world.

"I'm open to all especially children who are my greatest fans, to all Ghanaians, I say thanks for accepting my music."

In his chosen field, he looks up to the likes of Rex Omar, Kojo Antwi and Kojo Aquai.
