The Anadwo Yede hitmaker, who has performed Highlife music worldwide, emphasized that the genre often exceeds expectations regarding its global reception.

"Sometimes we underestimate the popularity of Highlife music on the global stage," he said.

Fosu, who will be celebrating 25 years in the music industry this year with a highly anticipated concert, believes that Highlife artists can replicate the success of their counterparts in other genres by fostering unity and supporting one another's endeavours.

"I have performed worldwide, and the reception I receive performing Highlife is just amazing. I believe a Highlife artiste will fill up the O2 Arena one day," he stated confidently.

However, Fosu acknowledged that achieving such a feat would require collaboration among Highlife musicians in Ghana, drawing inspiration from the camaraderie displayed by artistes like Sarkodie, Shatta Wale, and Medikal, who supported each other's recent international shows.
