According to him, he was hoping for his other son to venture into music because he was good at singing.

He explained that he was surprised that Lasmid turned out to be the musician in the family.

“Lasmid is my fourth-born. I have five children. His name is Nathaniel Owusu. I have two boys; that is Lasmid and his elder brother.
