Why I changed my name - Eric Jeshrun explains

Musician Eric Jeshrun has revealed his decision behind the change of his name.

Against this background, he decided to merge the two (Eric and Jeshrun) and drop the Okyere.

This coupled with other brand positioning vision, there was the need to address the feedback.
