Samini launches ‘MTN- Saminifest’

Finally Samini launched the long
awaited ‘saminifest’ yesterday at the dancestardom in dansoman-accra.

Samini’s aim for this great project is to reflect on massive opportunities in the music industry and a great deal of tourism potential and revenue for our Ghana and the creative arts industry.

This is what he said at the launch; Samini described the project as an
important milestone in his life- a story that chronicles a journey from Music,Giving Back to Society and Doing Business as an Entrepreneur.

He said: “Ten years ago, then a young boy, I set out to follow my passion and dream in Music. I was duly supported by a family and Mother who earned a living selling PITO, a local beverage I secretly refer to as Prosperity Inspired
Through Talent Ordination [smile]- The ordination here presupposes God has been good to us.It’s been a great journey from the days of Ashanti International to Samini Music/HighGradeFamily; and
from Batman to Samini. From Hiplife, Hi-life to helping shape the most popular genre in Ghanaian music today-Dancehall”

Samini also used the event to launch his new single titled ‘Godfull’ which the official theme song for his 10th Anniversary in music.
