Ghanaian R and B singer, Henry Agyekum popularly known is showbiz circles as Chemphe has disclosed that he will from next month embark on a two nation tour of Kenya and South Africa. He made the disclosure when he appeared on Hitz TV’s COUNTDOWN program on Multi TV.

Chemphe is scheduled to perform in Kenya and three other destinations in South Africa namely Soweto, Durban and Johannesburg with some of the lead music acts in those countries.

The young singer/song writer told COUNTDOWN host, Magma that his love for music dates back to his childhood days. His love for music led him to join the school choir where he added lyrics to every song he sang. He later joined a music group but left the group after a year.

Hitting the limelight in 2007 with his first album titled “No Pampanaa”, Chemphe has over time developed his own kind of music which he calls Urban life which is a fusion of R & B and Ghanaian grooves.

The only boy in a family of 7, Chemphe has gradually earned himself the accolade of ladies man thanks in part to his songs which border on love, unity and other social issues.

Chemphe who is the Africa region ambassador for YMCA is fast becoming an international icon having performed on international platforms in Korea and recently at the Global Festival in Norway, where he launched his third album “New Day”.

A fourth studio album titled “Hidden Emotions” is in the works for the “No Pampanaa” hit maker who also has other hit songs such as “Why you dey treat am bad” and “One people” to his credit.

According to Chemphe, arrangements are in place to make a special 2-in-1 CD pack for his fans who missed out on the launch of his third album at the launch of his fourth album scheduled for January next year.

“Hidden Emotions” will feature some of Ghana’s rap artistes such as D-Cyrme, Tic-Tac and Trigmatic.
