Mutiple award-winning afropop, dancehall and reggae artiste, Stonebwoy, is full of praise and excitement for the 14 year old Ghanaian street vendor, Attah Abraham, who won the Marcello Mastroianni’s Best Young Actor Award at the 2015 Venice Film Festival.
Attah coincidentally is from Ashaiman in the Greater Accra Region, a relatively low-profiled town where Stonebwoy also started his music career and soon shot to fame to become the artiste of the year at the 2015 Ghana Music Awards.
In what seems like Stonebwoy’s rise from grass to grace story, the young street vendor with little education and no professional acting skills has shot to fame.

Elated at the news, the man born Livingstone Etse Satekla, took to his Facebook page to express his emotions acknowledging the role of God in the youngster’s story.
