Early life

Samuel Ofori Amponsah was born March 2, 1974, to Johnson Kwadwo Ofori and Georgina Nkansah, in Agogo, Ashanti Region, Ghana. He is known to be an advocate for education and was enrolled in school before the age required. He began his education at an Agogo practice school and later attended Konongo Odumase Senior High School, where he found his passion for writing poetry. His poems were later used in his songs, most notably in his song “Asew.” He dropped out of school and later met music bigwig Daddy Lumba, gaining access into the music industry. At an early age, he discovered his love for music. He began writing at the age of 13 after being inspired by the talented music legend Michael Jackson, which may account for his R&B style of music.
