Highlife legend Amandzeba, formerly known as Nat Brew, has revealed that the change of his name was inspired by the release of his song \u2018Wogbejeke.\u2019<\/p>\n
Speaking to Osei Kwame on Citi FM\u2019s \u2018Brunch in the Citi\u2019 on Tuesday morning, he said his journey to self-discovery was when he was exposed to a different environment in the United Kingdom and realised his name did not mirror his true identity.<\/p>\n
\u201cI got to know my identity while I was in the UK at a time I had released \u2018Wogbejeke.\u2019 When I finished that album, I said to myself, \u2018are you going to go out with that name again?\u2019 And so I reflected considerably. I would wake up in the morning and would not eat because I was thinking about what to com out with to reflect this persona,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The song, \u2018Wogbejeke\u2019 talks about the history and origin of Ghana, dating back to pre-colonial times. It also highlights the rich culture of Ghana and how it was wiped off by the colonial masters.<\/p>\n
Living the meaning of his name, the \u2018custom child,\u2019 Amandzeba is known for his traditional style of dressing producing music that has roots of indigenous Africa rhythms.<\/p>\n
