‘KOKA gave us 40 contacts in our quest to secure our first media interview’ - Kwan Pa band

Multiple award-winning Ghanaian music band, 'Kwan Pa', has acknowledged KOKA for playing a crucial role in their career success.

Speaking on Hitz FM on September 30, 2024, the group, known for their indigenous Ghanaian music, revealed that the entertainment marketer provided them with over forty contacts to reach out to while they were still finding their path in the entertainment industry.

"When the band started, I was with Roverman Productions, and KOKA was also there. I spoke to him about my idea, and he gave me about forty numbers of media personalities to connect with because he saw our talent and wanted to help us. What he felt he could do at the time was to link us to media people," Ansah the guitarist, who spoke on behalf of the team explained.

"As a result, our very first media interview came from one of the contacts KOKA provided us in 2017. Seven years later, here we are," he added.

The band also stated that their inspiration for forming Kwan Pa came from a lecturer at the University of Ghana.

Asah noted, "Dr. Sonudo, the leader of the Legon Palm Wine Band, started the Palm Wine Band, and when I was on campus, I used to skip lectures to watch him perform. They are the reason we started our own Palm Wine band."

"He encouraged me to start learning modern, trendy songs and perform them, which also influenced our decision to create Christmas songs," he added.
