Ghanaian Afropop/R&B singer Raphael Kofi Attachie popularly known as Camidoh has revealed what inspired him to start singing.
According to the sugarcane crooner, he got his musical inspiration from Senegalese American singer, songwriter, record producer, and entrepreneur Akon after he watched videos of the rapper in an internet cafe.
He also added that Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie also inspired him.
Speaking in an interview with NY DJ on BTM Afrika, Camidoh said;
“I escorted my cousin to the Internet cafe and since I wasn’t doing anything, he gave me space to so I could just watch stuff on the Youtube. He played me Akon’s music and that was it. I came home and started mimicking him and it became really a thing. Before that, I wanted to be a pilot but I guess I’m flying with music now.”
Asked what exactly it was about Akon that struck him, the singer replied saying;
“I saw a gentleman. Everything about him was sick for me. I wanted to be like him. He sounded so passionate in his music. Hey really inspired.”
