Dada KD's musical journey

Dada KD has always had a passion for music. At the young age of 7, his passion led him to pursue music actively and by the age of 15, he was an instrumentalist in his church. Like many professionals before him, Dada KD faced many challenges, one of which was his inability to join a professional band to hone and develop his skills.

He didn’t let that offset his plans as he persevered and with the help of Michael Osei Agyeman, he eventually recorded “Honey Love”,; his first album at GEE MAN’s studio. He quickly followed up with 2 more albums titled “Adi Nye Wo” and “Eden Na Megyee” respectively.

In the year 1998, in search of broader opportunities, Dada KD moved abroad, where he continued producing and performing his music to an international audience.

In the year 2004, he was awarded the Best Male Vocal Artist at the Ghana Music Awards in the United Kingdom, which was a testimony to his growing popularity among the Ghanaian communities abroad. He was often compared to Daddy Lumba because their musical style were very similar.
