In the ever challenging Ghanaian music market, it has always been
difficult for an artiste to break through let alone make profit.
From the development of concept, composing, recording, promoting and
marketing the bottlenecks at each stage are just more than enough to
make one give up. For the ladies in the industry, it's even a
non-starter as a result of the male dominance in almost all spheres.
Of late however, the ladies have been making steady in rows in the
various genres of Ghanaian Music. However, the rap game has been the
most slippery turf for the ladies and this is where the latest female to
join the band wagon comes in.
She is ENO. Born Ruth Nana Serwaa Nyame over 20years ago, she had her
basic education at. She continued her SHS at Methodist Day Secondary
where she shared the classroom with Sarkodie, Stay J, Yaw Siki and Stone
Boy and others. ENO read marketing at Kumasi Polytechnic
ENO has been an entertainer for the most part of her life. As the
Entertainment Prefect of her school, she took it upon herself to
personally entertain her school mates culminating in the development of
her rap talent.
In the very difficult to break through Ghanaian music market, ENO sees
her love for what she does and the difference she brings as the main
ingredients to her successful music carrier.
The music background of her parents Rev. Abraham Osei Bonsu Nyame Adom a
pastor and Mrs. Rebecca Nyame Adom, a school proprietor, gradually
developed her interest in and love for music.
ENO has for a long time been a huge fan of Missy Elliot and cherishes
how she dispenses energy in her rap songs She bemoans the seemingly lack
of women in the rap game hijacked by the males and says it's time for
Dr. Aggrey's statement to be materialized.
ENO auditioned for TV3s Gang Starz but her journey into commercial
music began on K FM's Freestyle Saturday where she murdered most of the
male contestants with dazzling weekly performances. Though she placed
fourth in the finals, she took consolation in the fact that she had made
her case for ladies in the rap game.
Well aware that most contestants enjoy lots of fame during reality
shows but are unable to maximize the opportunity after the competition,
ENO zoomed into serious work right after Freestyle Saturday. Her first
song was 'What's my name?
She's now out with a banger 'My Love' in which she featured Afriyie
formerly of Wutah. Her 10 track 'I'm Out' album of 10 songs has stints
of hip hop, dancehall, contemporary Highlife and more Ghana should brace
up.
