Ghanaian singer and songwriter, Akawboah, has now decided to sing every song he writes due to past experiences with ingrates.

During an interview on 3 Music TV, the musician revealed that, "I was writing songs for people and not getting recognition. One time, a lady won an award with a song I wrote and went on stage thanking everyone, except me. That was a turning point,” he revealed.

The conversation on 3 Music TV progressed into a discussion about Akwaboah's decision to feature celebrated actress Nadia Buari in his latest album.

Akwaboah revealed that it all began through her connection with Nadia's sister, Samira, who also has a passion for music.

“I know Nadia’s sister, Samira. We’ve been talking because she also sings. One day she asked us to do a song, and I was like, sure, that’s fine. She spoke to Nadia first before giving me her number,” he added.

On Sunday 29th June, he released a brand new single titled Smile Again.

The song featured celebrated Ghanaian actress Nadia Buari, who played a leading role.

It also marked the first-ever full-on-screen appearance of the actress in a music video.

Her emotionally charged performance brought a new depth to the song’s powerful message of hope, healing, and rediscovered joy.

Also in the month of May, Akwaboah released a special new album titled Live and Personal.

The nine-track live album was a tribute to his musical roots, honoring the legacy of three generations of the Akwaboah family.

Live and Personal was more than just music. It was a personal journey that blends the sounds of his grandfather, Master Bob Akwaboah, and his father, the legendary Kwadwo Akwaboah, with Akwaboah’s songs.

One standout track was the timeless Awerekyekyere, originally by his father.

The album celebrates love, family, and tradition, all through the classic sounds of Highlife music.
