I was a bad boy - Oheneba Kissi

Ghanaian high-life legend musician, popularly known in showbiz as Oheneba Kissi has let the cat out of the bag of how bad he was during his hey days as a young and aggressive musician.

According to him, even though he was a bad boy in his early childhood, he was able to go to school and became an accountant before he joined the music bandwagon.

But the high-life legend has disclosed that music pirating has been at the disadvantage of musicians rendering most of them bankrupt.

He explained that, he used to record his songs in Germany but due to pirating, he cannot afford to record his songs in Germany any longer.

Music piracy is the copying and distributing of copies of a piece of music for which the composer, recording artist, ore copy right holding record company did not give consent which reduce the income he or she could make from publishing.

The “ABC of Love” hit maker lamented, Ghanaians have not heard from him since his last track in 2013 because he is not having money to go the studio to record song, he told Bryt fm’s Jah Solo on Entertainment Arena on Saturday.

“People should not think that am weak in music, I have “demos” but I don’t have money to record them it the studio” he cried.
