‘Sometimes I listen to my own songs, and I am surprised’ – Bisa Kdei

Ghanaian highlife musician Bisa Kdei has admitted that he is sometimes left in awe of his own songwriting skills, revealing that the depth and creativity of some of his lyrics surprise him. Speaking in an interview on Hitz FM, the “Mansa” hitmaker said there are moments when he listens to his songs and asks himself whether he was truly the one who wrote them, citing his hit song Samina as an example “Yes, I do it a lot sometimes. Recently I even said I am the best songwriter because sometimes I listen to myself and I be like, ‘Oh wow, so I really wrote this?’ A song like Samina, even I can’t really decode the song properly because I really wrote that song,” he said.

Reacting to the observation, Bisa Kdei described himself as a storyteller and explained that despite his mastery of Twi, he did not grow up speaking the language fluently. “I am a storyteller but one thing too is that I don’t even speak Twi properly. I was born amongst Gas, that is what people don’t know. I was born in Labadi, so I speak Ga very well and I’m from Larteh. Because I was in the midst of the Ga people, I learned how to speak Ga properly. My mum used to speak Ga with us a lot. It was my dad who used to force us to speak Larteh,” he said @hitz1039fm “I sometimes listen to my own songs and go, ‘Wow!’” — @bisakdeimusic reflects on his music and the quality of his work #DaybreakHitz #Hitz1039FM #JoyDigital #fyppppppppppppppppppppppp ♬ original sound - Hitz 103.9 FM PAT/EBSource: www.ghanaweb.com
