He further argued that his direction stems from a realisation about the authenticity currently been longed for by music listeners.
"I think the feeling has been that Ghanaians would love to hear some authentic Ghanaian style coupled up with today's sound.

This is what the world wants to listen to right now, especially Africans globally."
