Eventually, Kojo went solo. His first solo album, ‘All I Need is You,’ which was released in 1986, became a chart buster in Ghana.

He is the immediate past chairman of the Ghana Music Rights Organisation (GHAMRO).

Some of his songs include ‘Amrika,’ ‘Tattoo,’ ‘Adiepena,’ ‘Meedware,’ ‘Groovy, ‘Densu,’ among others.
