Kwaisey Pee talks about music, his dreadlocks and weakness

Enamored with the need to release his new album, Ghana Music.com caught up with Kwaisey Pee in the UK to tell us about his vanishing and his music life.

Contemporary highlife singer, Kwaisey Pee has officially returned to a welcoming audience. When he took a break, shortly after “Kumipreko” was released, no one knew, including the man himself, whether the reception would be the same if and when he returned.

Thankfully, fans of good music have turned out and supported the same man who sang "Susana", "Mehia "Odo", "Akono Akono", "Monto", "Nonum", "Akyekyere Me", "Adene", "Krokro Me", "Akona Yaa" years back when he launched the album in the USA recently.

“Without the fans, I will be nobody. I appreciate their support”, Kwaisey Pee said.

Sitting down with Ghana Music.com for a candid session, Kwaisey P shares his love for music while also shedding light on his break from the scene and even talks about his long dreadlocks - in fact, his answer will surprise you.
