Adez's Mentor journey and music career
Adez, real name Victoria Adedzewaa Stokes, made her name as a participant on TV3's Mentor season 2, one of Ghana's most celebrated music reality competitions.
She represented the Western Region alongside Nii Soul (formerly Joe) and Pastor Kofy (formerly Kofi) on the music reality TV competition, which had music executive Mark Okraku Mantey as one of its judges.
Beyond the show, the Takoradi native carved out a path in music and was outspoken about her craft.
The late Adez, who once released a song with dancehall musician Stonebwoy, previously sang as a backing vocalist to music legends like Daddy Lumba, Kojo Antwi, Ofori Amponsah, Hugh Masakela, Samini, Kwabena Kwabena and others.
In a previous interview, she stated that she did not need to feature a big artist to make her songs a success, a reflection of the confidence and independence that defined her artistic identity.
