Gasmilla's rise to stardom

Gasmilla rose to prominence in the Ghanaian music industry as an independent artiste in the 2010s during the emergence of the Azonto music genre, which propelled top artistes like Sarkodie, E.L., Keche, Bisa Kdei, Guru, Fuse ODG and others.

The music genre gained popularity across Africa and the international music stage, with Nigeria's Grammy-award-winning superstar Wizkid joining the trend to create similar songs.

The Wesley Grammar and the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA) alumni first released the hit single, Aboodatoi in 2013, which received massive play on various airwaves across the country.

Following the successes of his subsequent releases, Innit, Three Points and Telemo, Gasmilla emerged as one of the biggest pioneers of the genre, proclaiming himself the "King of Azonto".
