"From the beginning, it was very hard for me. If I tell people I used to sell pure water, they won't believe me. Sometimes, I sold second-hand clothes, brooms, and gari. My sister and I sold anything that we found."

"My mother didn't even know how I got to Accra. They learned when someone informed my mother about a song I did that became a hit. At that time, phones were not as standard as they are now. But I am sure she wept when she heard the news."

"My mother gave birth to five children, but three stayed with her. Life was difficult, so some went to school while others, like myself, stayed behind to sell. So, I have been selling on the streets, and people who knew me then now address me through Akos. Anytime I am on the street, and I see these people selling, I can give them the last money on me."
