Akwasi Opoku a.k.a Kwaisey Pee

Kwaisey Pee tours Ghana from Nov 26
Ace Highlife artiste Akwasi Opoku a.k.a Kwaisey
Pee is scheduled to begin a nationwide musical
tour from next Saturday November 26 as a precursor
to the launch of his fifth album “Konadu”.

The tour will see Kwaisey Pee make stopovers in
all 10 regional capitals and 7 selected
districts.

Appearing on Hitz TV’s COUNTDOWN show on Multi
TV, the soulful highlife singer said his
much-awaited album “Konadu” will be released
in two weeks.

Although the album was due to be launched in
December, Kwaisey says the launch is being
rescheduled for February or March 2012 because of
the activities he has lined up for the month of
December.

Born to a legendary music icon, Agyeiku, Kwaisey
Pee told COUNTDOWN host Magma that he kicked off
his music career when he went to the United
Kingdom with his father in the early 1990s.

He has since mastered his craft and currently has
four albums; ‘Krokro Me’ released in 2000,
‘Akonor Yaa’ – 2003, ‘Nyane Me’ – 2006
and ‘Kume Preko’ – 2009, to his credit with
the fifth album due in stores within a fortnight.


According to him, losing both parents at the same
time last year has led to a change in his approach
to his trade and how he writes his songs.

He cited ‘Krokro Me’, his maiden album, as his
favourite album explaining that the album was
thoroughly prepared with support from his late
father.

The highlife crooner whose hobbies include playing
football and writing music says he has a list of
interesting projects lined up for the future which
includes writing and producing songs for budding
music talents.

But that is not all. Do not be surprised to see
Kwaisey Pee’s name embossed on a shop somewhere
in Abossey Okai as he revealed he has plans of
joining the league of vehicle spare parts dealers
and also venturing into farming.

The ten-track “Konadu” album will be a mixed
one featuring artistes like Fresh Prince of 4x4
fame on the tune ‘She Ahwenee’ (wear beads),
Tinny and an up and coming act known as Syn.
