When Edem hit the market with his first single in 2006, most people doubted him as to whether he will survive in the music industry taking into consideration language barrier and other challenges but he proved it that when it comes to music, he’s among the best in Africa.

His first maiden album which was produced by “Last Two” came as a surprise to the world especially Ghanaians. Almost every single song on the album was a hit.

“Mass Production” his second album defines what it takes to be called versatile artiste. He got nominations, wins awards and performed almost every big show organised in Ghana.

Edem does all genres of music including Reggae, Dancehall, Afrobeats, High-life and hip-hop.
