Afro Moses (born Ernest Sarfo Baidoo) is a well-known Ghanaian-Australian musician and multi-instrumentalist who is noted for fusing traditional African music with current sounds.[2][1] He was named Ghana's Best International Music Ambassador at the Ghana Music Awards in 2002.[3] He was also awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2018 Ghana Music Awards held in the UK.[4]

Early Life and musical career

He was born and raised in Wassa Atieku, Ghana's Western Region.[5] As the first of his mother's four children, he began his musical career at a young age by making instruments and performing.[6]

He has won several awards, such as Best Song, Best Album, and Best Live Act. In 2000 and 2002, he was chosen as Ghana's Best International Music Ambassador.[7][8] He headlined the "Asa Baako" (One Dance) festival at Busua Beach in the Western Region of Ghana alongside rapper M.anifest.[9] He has performed on stage with a variety of musicians, including Gyedu Blay Ambolley and Atongo Zimba.[10] He urged Shata Wale and Samini to end their fight.[11] He expressed worry over the royalties paid by the Ghana Music Right Organization (GHAMRO).[12]

"I used the royalties I got abroad to buy land and build a house abroad. Don't even raise that issue. If I decided to deal with them GHAMRO, it would be an issue, so I don't want to talk about it. I was given GH¢100. And another time I was given GH¢2,000, even that one I haven't touched till now because I've reserved it to do something With the number of my songs that have been played in Ghana, I'm supposed to earn a lot." — Afro Moses
