My musical success does not make sense to the flesh - Fuse ODG





Many musicians worldwide have had to go through
several challenges in their career before making it
to mainstream and perhaps becoming successful but
same cannot be said of Ghanaian UK based musician
and pioneer of the This Is New Africa #TINA
movement Richard Abeona known widely as Fuse ODG
who’s achievements are beyond his own imagination.

A feat many would wish to achieve.
The world’s attention was drawn to Fuse ODG, a
member of the “Off Da Ground Movement” after
the release of his hit single Azonto and has since
then not slept on this great song writer.

In an interview with NY DJ on Homestretch Bumper
to Bumper on Kapital Radio in Kumasi, Fuse ODG
stated he often got lost in his own thoughts anytime
he looked back at the successes and what the future
holds for him.
“There’s no way I could have come this way without
my creator. God is involved in everything we have
achieved. God has been so merciful to us and
continues to grant us all the desires of our heart.

My successes in terms of my hit singles don’t not
make sense to the flesh. There is a spiritual force
behind us which is God….. Of course, I may say I
work hard but that does not make up. I just don’t
even understand”
Fuse ODG for the past 2 years has been nominated
and won several awards and recognitions worldwide.
He scored one of the greatest feats as for the first
time Antenna charted in the UK and marked the
highest charting Afrobeats tune till now.

He was also the first African act to ever perform at
the Music of Black Origin Awards MOBO where he
won the MOBO award for Best African Act, won
several awards at the urban music awards in the UK
and also an award at the Ghana Music Awards.

Fuse ODG described 2013 as his craziest year yet in
his musical year.
