Renowned guitarist, Napoleon Nartey has stated that playing for some of the top Ghanaian artists over the past few years has honed his skills as a rhythm player.

According to Napoleon, working with legendary figures such as Pat Thomas, Amandzeba, the Tagoe Sisters, Dada KD, Kwabena Kwabena, and Nii Okaidja Afroso, among others, has improved his craft.

The guitarist noted that he learned a great deal while playing for these legendary musicians, especially during live sessions across the country.

"All these music legends have positively impacted my career. I started playing the guitar at a young age, focusing on lead rather than rhythm and groove.

"However, playing for these stars shifted our focus to the rhythm aspect, especially during our live sessions with many fans in attendance," stated Napoleon Nartey.

He added that his rise as a top guitarist was due to hard work, and he is looking forward to collaborating with some of the world's best guitarists.

"The guitar is life; playing melodies that reflect people's thoughts provides me with respite, and I am eager to share my talent with the best globally.

"Enjoying rhythms from the guitar is naturally healing, and I am confident many people will attest to that," he stated.
