Grammy award-winning Ghanaian musician Fuse ODG on Saturday October 27, 2018 held his first ever press interaction in Kumasi where he hails from.

The musician who burst unto global music charts with his monster hit single Azonto took time off his busy schedule to meet radio personalities and partners in the region.

During the press interaction, Fuse ODG updated the press on recent activities including the construction of a Senior High school in Akuapem, upcoming album New Africa Nation, TINA Festival scheduled for January 2019, Kente Festival and more.

Personalities sourced from various media outfits were privileged to watch Fuse ODG’s yet to be released video Bra Fie (Come Home) which features Grammy Award winning artist Damian Robert Nesta “Jr. Gong” Marley.

Shot in the United States of America, Bra Fie (Come Home) shows the colourful nature of the African tradition and re-enacts the terrible experiences many Africans had to go through as they were captured as slaves.

Speaking on the choice of Damian Marley for a feature on Bra Fie, Fuse ODG explained saying;

“Aside the fact that Damian Marley is one of the most revered artists in the world and my personal favourite, he speaks to a certain culture I believe in and he was the only one who could perfectly get the message we want to preach in Bra Fie.

Next year marks exactly 400 years since the first batch of our fathers, mothers, sisters and family were forcefully shipped out of their lands in the name of slavery so this song is a call for all the descendants to return to their roots and help build it.”

Fuse ODG also previewed four singles off his upcoming album (New Africa Nation) which were highly rated by personalities present.

Put together by NYDJ Live Media, the goal of the gathering was to bring professionals, friends and partners together in an open dialogue to discuss possible strategies, raise awareness and engage Ghanaians in initiatives taken by Fuse ODG.

The event is set to be replicated in a number of regions soon.

Fuse ODG is signed to ODG Records.
