A phone-in poll was conducted recently on Radio Gold’s Solid Gold Count Down on who was the the best Hi-life artiste of all time. The winner of the poll was no other artiste than Kojo Antwi.

Ghana Music.com is republishing this brief about Kojo Antwi which was originally written by K. K. Darkwah of The Finest Productions.

Read on.

Kojo's music - Afro Pop is a well-tasty, magical blend of West Africa's Hi Life and Soukous, The Caribbean’s Lovers' Rock, a hint of Afro-America’s Rhythm and Blues, brewed in a large African pot and stirred with well-composed lyrics plus a voice so sweet.

Like a polished diamond, Kojo Antwi aka Mr. Music Man continues to sparkle, bringing light and joy to many through his sweet music and exciting shows across the globe.

In an exciting career spanning over two decades he has gone from bubbly vocalist through introspective songwriter and lead singer to consummate musician, arranger, producer and enigmatic performer. He is a sheer delight to behold on stage.

The handsome, soft-spoken Sagittarian (born Nov 24) says in his ever-mellow tone ‘years of playing in a band brought me this deep love for performing live and going through the motions with a select team to get a song just right’.

Feel free to sample some Kojo's music releases in the Discography section where you can see all his record albums to date. News of recent and
up-coming Tours and special events will give you the low down on what you missed and future gigs. The Gallery contains images of possibly the most exciting African musician ever. You will also find photos with colleagues, friends and fans from recent events.

Kojo Antwi is a diamond indeed! In-yer-face, warrior-like Nubian locks for the grit and rough of the uncut stone, and a tender-loving personality for that sparkle that is known the world over as a girl’s best friend. Like a fine wine he sure has matured and become smoother with time but being the diamond that he is, the sparkle has always been right there.

Great performers, it has been said, are like the stars in the sky, scattered all over the world. Wherever you look up at night, North, South, East or West you will find a few shining bright.

Having seen some of the very best on my travels, I am happy to accept that Kojo Antwi is one of the world’s sweetest lyricists and most exciting live performers.
