Yesterday, October 17 was the birthday of one of Ghana’s biggest Afro-Dancehall/Reggae exports, Charles Nii Armah Mensah Jnr. also known as Shatta Wale. The 32-year-old singer who doubles as a producer has over the years brought change to our static music industry.

Through Shatta Wale, we have witnessed numerous changes in our industry. From Ghana Music Awards to MUSIGA’s transparency allegations, Shatta Wale has always remained the biggest game-changer to have brought a serendipitous change to the industry.

Though he has been tagged ‘controversial’ and I personally don’t like his Kanye West-type-of-behaviour, he seemed not bothered and keeps doing him all the time.
