Kofi Kinaata Applauds Samini for playing an important role in his music career

Highlife artiste Martin King Arthur popularly known as Kofi Kinaata has applauded his former boss, Samini for the role he played in his music career before his breakthrough in the music industry.

Kofi Kinaata reflecting on how he became a household name said he was brought to the limelight by Samini who by then was well-known in the music industry and even till now.

The ‘Susuka’ hitmaker said the first record label to sign him up when he was a budding artiste was the High-Grade Family which he said was an influential music family group.

It was during this period that Kinaata had the privilege of tagging along with Samini, an established figure in the Ghanaian music scene.

“I got signed unto the High-grade family when no one knew me. It was Samini that they knew so me tagging along with Samini, his fans became automatically my fans,” he explained in an interview monitored by The Ghana Report on 3FM.

“What Samini did for me was give me a lot of exposure,” Kinaata explained. The acclaimed artist went above and beyond to secure performance slots for Kinaata, even for shows where he wasn’t originally scheduled to perform.

Samini’s generosity and support opened doors for Kinaata, enabling him to reach new heights in the music industry.

“When Chris Brown came to Ghana, I was now in Accra, Samini brought me to the stage to perform 4 or 5 minutes. Shows I wasn’t billed to perform even though he got me to perform. Samini gave me a lot of exposure,” he disclosed

The award-winning artiste was of the view that he dived actively into the music industry way back in 2008 with his interest in rap as well but Samini couldn’t discover that.

“I was doing rap and music way back in 2008 but he pushed me from one stage to the other. Samini didn’t really discover me,” he concluded.
