Your passion and talent shine brightly, and I’m confident you’ll definitely make history. Keep singing your heart out! We are with you."

Aduonum, a mother of three, kicked off the marathon with the iconic Osibisa track 'Woyaya' and seamlessly transitioned into a medley of seasonal Ghanaian gospel hits from artistes such as Tagoe Sisters, Daughters of Glorious Jesus, Yaw Sarpong, and Esther Smith.

Demonstrating versatility, she shifted to secular tunes by popular artistes including Shatta Wale, Ebony Reigns, Wendy Shay, Kuami Eugene, KiDi, Adina, Samini, Sarkodie, Black Sherif, among others.
