TsotsoIn a dynamic music industry like ours, things keep on changing, new stars keep surfacing and new talents will always be discovered.

Apart from the few creative artistes who are known and accepted however, most budding musicians tend to lose focus after reigning for a couple of years as they repeat the same beats and style of performance over and over.

It is also a fact that the hip-life music industry in Ghana has always seen a lot of artistes, some able to finish the journey, others pausing somewhere along the line due to lack of creativity.

This year, a young, talented artiste has been discovered in the name of Eric Opare Oking, aka Tsotso, who has promised to run things in a different dimension with the help of Wild Wild records who have finally released his maiden album titled, “Eduro”.

On the album, Tsotso did collaboration with hiplife artistes as KK Fosu, Nkasie, Oboi, Nayaka, De boy, David and Ogabee.

In chat with Beatwaves, Tsotso explained that “Ghanaians love hiplife music and that is what directs my creative energies.

Hiplife music is all about what the public or music lovers want and this motivated me to come with my maiden album.”

His title song, Eduro, a mid-tempo hiplife song, often referred to as music for the masses, enjoys considerable air play.

This fusion of jama beats, the sound of foot drums and base guitar which are felt in the back ground, make the song irresistibly danceable. Some of the hit tracks on the albums include Tuff, Sweetie Sweetie, Onim, to mention few.

After spending over a decade in the music industry, Tsotso said, “I chose to become a musician because it has been part of me.”

He started his music career in Takoradi with some friends, performing at functions, so despite the fact that he is new on the block, Tsotso has performed alongside seasoned hiplife artistes as KK Fosu and Nkasie, among others.
