Becca Sets Ghana Music Awards record

Rebecca Acheampong aka Becca is of of Ghana’s youngest afro pop artistes whose music, style and charisma has caught the attention of many including international figures such as Rich Bacchus, a leading music producer and a song writer in the States.

Based on her outstanding achievement in the music industry, she has again been invited to perform at this year’s Ghana Music Awards which will take place at the Accra International Conference Centre on Saturday, April 9. It would be her fourth appearance at the awards ceremony. Becca’s style of performance and stage craft on international platforms like the Ghana Music Awards has added value to her chosen career.

The sensational afro-pop artiste, who launched her musical career in November 2007 with her maiden album ‘Sugar’, is the only Ghanaian artiste who has been consistent on the platform of Ghana Music Awards. ‘Sugar, which has the hit song ‘You Lied To Me’, which featured Kwabena Kwabena, also earned Becca four other nominations some years back. Becca also featured Hugh Masekela, a great musician from South Africa on her track ‘I Love You’. The ethereal beauty has been hard at work on a follow-up album since her main ‘Sugar’ collection came out at the end of 2007. She has already put out three singles meant for her new album – very very popular ‘Daa Ke Daa’, ‘Eti Sen’ and African Woman’.

Rich Bacchus, who was in the country recently and was impressed with Becca’s performance, said, ‘Becca is ready for the World. She sings from the heart. She does not need to restrict herself to Ghana or Africa. “We could make the world stand up and notice Africa in a different light, culturally. Her talent is amazing, but I do not thing she is getting the right opportunity to showcase it,” he added.
