Being memorable should be a video vixen’s number 1 objective with her dance moves. If you’ve seen K. K. Fosu’s (Anadwo Yede), 2 Toff’s (Shake Your Body), Ebo’o’s (Once, Twice) video and more, then you definitely know who am talking off. She’s the one who has got everyone buzzing with her hypnotic moves.
Lillian also known as Foxy in the video circles has passed all these tests and is the most sought-after vixen in the Ghana music industry. As you can see, it is time for her to shine.
Foxy decided to pursue her secret dream after watching rehearsals of Adjetey Sowah in her teens and later landing major deals with all the big Ghanaian musician shots you can talk of.
Today, with her agent, Frank she is landing her leads as well as gigs like dancing at every major show. Foxy wants to wean herself off the video moves in a year’s time for another journey in life.
Stay glued to your computer monitors and let Ghana Music.com take you through Lillian aka Foxy’s world of dancing.
Ghana Music.com: So how did it all begin for you?
Foxy: I started dancing at the age of 16 where I had my inspiration from Adjetey Sowah because his group rehearsed in my house. During my secondary education at the Keta Secondary, I started my professional dancing for Ivy Stone. After SSS, I was approached by Sidney for a two year contract as his personal dancer. After Sidney’s contract died out, I danced for VIP for a couple of shows. I moved on to dance for Wutah. I also performed for Obour and Mad Fish and have finally settled with Obrafour.
