Afua Asantewaa first made headlines in 2023 when she attempted to sing continuously for five days in Accra, Ghana, in a bid to break and set a world record for the longest singing marathon.

The attempt fell short on technical grounds. Undeterred, she returned a year later and staged a second attempt in Kumasi, Ghana's second-largest city.

Now based in Canada, she is setting her sights on attempting the record outside of Ghana for the first time.

The 2027 target is designed to give her and her team ample time to prepare and mount a successful campaign to claim the coveted title.

Reacting to the New York Times Billboard feature, Afua Asantewaa expressed deep gratitude, saying:

"When the dust settles, the true beauty of his work manifests, and it's overwhelming. Nobody is bigger than God."
