First visit to the US

The Cape Coast-born musician narrated an experience with an immigration officer during his first visit to the US.

He recounted that he travelled with two other persons who had planned not to make him speak at the immigration office at the airport because he could not express himself in the Queen's language.

Unknown to them, the plan was a blessing in disguise as a white immigration officer at the airport approved Amo's passport to give him an easy pass into the US, while the officer delayed his colleagues for several minutes.

Credits God for his transformation

Amo attributed his miraculous transformation and success to God's grace as he urged people not to give up.
