The much-anticipated CD “Sika Ye” from Ghana’s Golden voice “Felix Owusu aka Qkesi is finally going to be released these holidays. The release date for the CD is November 23rd 2008; Sputnic Erawoc CEO of SMG (Sputnic Music Group) Atlanta was at hand to handle questions from the press for his newly signed Artist.
Felix, who has been quiet from the music scene for a while decided to take some time out to spend and enjoy life with his wife and 3 boys.
Felix leaves in Atlanta and still writes some of the best songs from an African Artist; he has been working on this CD for roughly 2 years with some of Ghana’s best musicians.
“Felix Owusu is a man, husband, father, son, brother and a musician with passion for love and compassion for people. I love ET Mensah, Pat Thomas, CK Mann, Jewel Ackah and Papa Yankson”. One would say its not surprising how Kofi Ackah, Jewel Ackah’s son plays a pivotal part on this CD “SIKA YE” Kofi worked with Felix on just about every song in the production, arrangement and composition of the songs.
Felix’s music has not changed “ my music now, is to raise the bar for highlife music, to maintain the integrity while mixing some new flavor for today’s young ones. I’m here to sustain highlife and keep it mainstream, part of the reason I hooked up with Sputnic from SMG (SPUTNIC MUSIC GROUP).
In life, people come your way and you thank God for the connection; I am very pleased to have Sputnic (SMG) as my manager; the one with the vision and direction for my music and understand how far I want to take it. We have started working on my next CD, which will have a more international appeal to it with songs in Pop, Highlife and Reggae. God has been good to me and its only right to give back through my music.
CEO-Sputnic who is also a sort after producer/engineer in the U.S working with Artist like Akon and Wyclef directed Felix’s new video single “come try me” Harmoni Magazine “ This is a well done video – one can follow it without understanding the language. I have done a lot of reviews, I have to say “ this is one of the best highlife CD’s I have ever listened to”. Kwame Michaels -102.7FM.
“ Felix has definitely stepped up his game in a genre that people believe is slowly dying”. The first single’s video “come try me” was just released to the press with more videos slated to follow shortly. The videos to follow are “you see me, I see you, featuring Castro, and Sika Ye the title CD”.
Felix Owusu aka Qkesi has brought his A –game on this CD; its finally here “SIKA YE” a great CD from a great voice in a time that has lost most of it’s vintage sound. I was very impressed with the production, sound quality, leadership and the direction of this team; the SMG team, a brotherhood from Ghana conceptualizing the CD cover, posters, print work, video and music production. I have to say I’m proud to be an African, a Ghanaian that is.
