Artist: Mzbel
Since 2004 Belinda Nana Ekua Amoah known as Mzbel has dominated the female Hip-Life Scene.
Her controversial lyrics paired with her sex appeal on the stage have been a major hit with the Ghanaian youth. Hate her or love her, you cannot deny her ability to put forward the worries and burdens of the youths in Ghana. Her debut album ‘Awoso Me’ broke barriers by selling more copies than any female rapper in Ghana. The title song Awoso Me saw Mzbel take home the “New Artist of the Year Award” at the Music of Ghana Awards in Italy and was used for a Guinness campaign for 12 months. Her sophomore album shot Mzbel to new fame. The album title track “16 Years” put a catchy and slightly comical spin on the growing problem of Child Molestation in Ghana, but the lyrics did not fail to bring to light the issue and the song was part of many political discussions. The track was on top of many “Top Air Play” lists of many West African radio stations and stayed there for weeks, Soon Mzbel went from opening shows to headlining shows. Mzbel headed out on tour and performed in Togo, Liberia, Sierra Leon, Equatorial Guinea, Nigeria, Holland, Belgium, Italy, England and The USA. On the heels of her show stopping tour she picked up the “Best Female Act” and “Best Collaboration” at the Ghana Music Awards in London.
Her third album showed critics that Mzbel had no intention of slowing down. The album kiss me saw Mzbel pick up the Portrait of an Excellent Woman Award in Ghana, praising her not just her music but her entrepreneurial skills and charity contributions. She also had The Minnesota African Women’s Association honour her by having her speak at their annual conference, cementing Mzbel as a voice for social change for youths in West Africa.
with the great response to her three new music videos 'saucy Girl', 'Run Away' and 'Baby Turn me On' Mzbel's 4th album is set to be her biggest so far.
