I studied music at schools I attended , Adisadel College in the city of Cape Coast in Ghana and Dame Alice Owen’s School in Potter’s Bar, Hertfordshire in England. I learned to play the guitar as well as the piano and violin. The allure of the guitar however was to prove the most enduring. I hold a Bachelor’s degree( BSc ) in Economics from the University of Reading ( Bachelor’s ) and Master’s degree ( MSc) in Economics from the University of London and have worked in many countries worldwide as an economist and management consultant and have interacted and performed with local musicians from a wide variety of backgrounds and cultures. My main passions in life are Music , Literature and of course my family My main musical influences have been from guitarists , musicians and composers such as the following :
Miguel Llobet, Agustin Barrios, Andres Segovia, John Williams, Julian Bream, Cacho Tirao, Joe Pass, Baden Powell, Sebastiao Tapajos, Ralph Towner, Jimi Hendrix, BB King, Wes Montgomery, George Benson, Agya Koo Nimo ( Ghana)

In recent years I have collaborated musically through masterclasses in Germany, Poland and Hungary with the Polish/German master guitarist and teacher Jerzy Koenig (http://www.jerzykoenig.de/index_en.html ) who has devoted many years of work to transcribing the works of Frederic Chopin from the Piano to the Guitar. I now perform several of his superlatively beautiful transcriptions of Chopin’s works for the guitar. Quite apart from being a master guitarist, piano teacher and transcriber of piano works for the guitar, Jerzy Koenig is an expert in audio-visual technology and digital editing of music videos. He records and edits his own videos and shot and digitally edited my most of my videos in Germany.
Here is a recording of me performing the Prelude from the Violin Partita No. 2 in E-Major by JS Bach
