Introducing Zodiac Beatz, producer of B4Bonah’s ‘Dear God’
Just as Plato factually stated; music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything.
Again music can never come alive with raw lyrics, it needs instrumentation to compliment it. That’s where sound producer comes into the picture.
In the history of Ghana Music, Tema never seems to lack providing talented artists with all the steeze, style and attitude in Ghana, Africa and the world at large with staggering and anomalous talents when it comes to Music.
Tema can boast of Willie, Roy, Sarkodie, R2Bees, Kaywa, AB, Killbeatz, Possi Gee, Dr. Duncan, Ekow Shiloh amidst others. That’s not to say, Tema is the only neighborhood with all the artists, it only means they dominate the industry.
Such is the story of young producer Zodiac Asempa Antwi, known in the entertainment circles as Zodiac who joins the catalog of budding producers coming out of the Harbour city, the home of Kaywa, Streetbeatz, Kayso and Killbeatz.
He shares unique elements which have become characteristic of his body of work making him producer extraordinaire.
