EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH DEM TINZ
Dem Tinz is one of Ghana's up-coming musicians, who have been able to really announce their presence in the Ghanaian music industry. Coming out with a hit single, "SIKA NKUAA" that kept fans dancing and nodding at the sound of it. He has performed on at many shows including FIESTA 2009 and THE GAME. Labanti caught up with him after a show and had a little chat with him.
G.U.C: TELL US SOMETHING ABOUT YOURSELF.
DEM TINZ: My name is Emmanuel Amarh Akesseh born in Accra Feb 12,1992. I originate from Ejumaaku Biseasse, Central Region of Ghana. I like poetry, movies, television, music, traveling ,composing and listening to music and I do a lot of reading too. I do not smoke, drink or do drugs ( because I do not need them). I believe in enjoying a good life. I am also a very dedicated Christian.
G.U.C: WHY DID YOU CHOOSE MUSIC AS YOUR CAREER?
DEM TINZ: I chose music because I discovered I had the talent of singing and rapping at a very early age. And this talent developed as I grew. With some support from family and friends, I realised I was destined to do music. In actual fact, I do not think I chose music. I think I rather chose me.
G.U.C: WHAT ARE SOME OF THE CHALLENGES YOU FACE AS A MUSICIAN?
DEM TINZ: One of the challenges which really bothers me is that, show organisers do not usually follow the payment terms. The payments are usually not good enough and the organisers sometimes delay payments, ad this makes work more difficult.
G.U.C: WHAT INSPIRES YOUR MUSIC?
DEM TINZ: I get my inspiration from life and the society.
G.U.C: ARE YOU WORKING ON ANY PRODUCTION OR PROJECT CURRENTLY?
DEM TINZ: Not at the the moment.
G.U.C: IF YOU HAD THE CHANCE TO WORK WITH ANY ARTISTE, WHO WOULD IT BE AND WHY?
DEM TINZ: Given the chance, I'd work with Bobby Valentino. I like him so much. He is a great singer.
G.U.C: WHEN IS YOUR ALBUM COMING OUT AND WHAT SHOULD FANS EXPECT ON IT?
DEM TINZ: Any moment from now to the year's ending. And my fans should expect something new and really special.
G.U.C: WHAT DO YOU HOPE TO ACHIEVE THROUGH MUSIC?
DEM TINZ: I hope to be famous and spread the message of love and unity in our societies, with my music.
G.U.C:WHAT WOULD YOU WANT TO TELL YOUR FANS?
DEM TINZ: You all made me who I am today. Keep on supporting me. I love you all.

OBRAFUOR DEDICATES AWARD TO OBUOR AND OKYEAME KWAME
All roads led to the Accra International Conference Center last night to brace the biggest music event in Ghana.
The venue was crowded with celebrities like Majid Michel, Nadia Buari, Confidence Haugen and several music fans, to celebrate and honour our musicians.
The event started with a great performance from one of Ghana's music legends, Amakye Dede. We later saw splendid performances from the younger generation artistes like 4x4, Becca, Efyah, Eazzy, Ruff n Smooth, Doneo, Wande Coal, Jozi of south Africa, among many others.
One shocking moment of the night was when Obrafuor dedicated his award to Obuor and Okyeame Kwame. The collaboration between him and Guru, "Kasiebor" won them the "Collaboration of the year" award.
Many were those who criticised the award with the view that, the song did not even qualify for nomination this year. "Nominations ended last November and the song ( KASIEBOR) was released earlier this year. So how and why was it nominated?". That is the question many Ghanaian music fans seem to be asking. "I don't understand, how that is possible" said one music fan, when he was asked with the same question.
What is your view on this issue? Opinions are like noses, everybody is entitled to one.
On the whole, the event was successful. As Sarkodie won Artist of the Year,
Discovery of the year,
Hip hop/hiplife artist of the year,
Best Rapper of the year,
Album of the Year,
-Wutah won Highlife song of the year,
Reggae Song of the year and
P.V ( a member of the duo) took the Best Male Vocal performance award
-Becca's "Daa Ke Daa" won
Record of the year and she also walked away wit the Best Female Vocal Performance award.
-Most popular song of the year went to Bradez.
-Ayigbe Edem's "u dey craze" won him the Hip hop /hiplife song of the year award
-Highlife artist of the year went to Kofi B
-Afro-pop Song of the year award went to 4x4 and Wande Coal snatched the African artiste of the year.
The most awaited moment was the most prestigious award of the night, " ARTISTE OF THE YEAR", which went to Sarkodie, as friends and family joined him celebrate on stage.
The after-party was held at Afrodisiac night club, where the fun continued till day broke.
