Ebenezer Adiimaduko who is a native of Sirigu in the Upper East Region has been in the music industry for well over a decade, told the media at the event that he is excited about the future and also appreciative of the progress thus far. He encouraged young artists to stay grounded and go all out for what they believe in with the right mentality. He said he has been inspired by the struggles he faced while growing up and uses his music to talk about life situations and also educate the world about the way of life of his people.
“If you are now thinking to do music, yes you should try your best. It is not easy. The journey is not easy. Doing music is not an easy task. Your family, some of your family [members] will not believe in you and they will tell you because you are doing this [music] is not a job. You should try and find a good job or concentrate on your schooling so that in future you will be a better person,” he noted when asked about the difficulties he faced in his journey into music.
Area King has collaborated with many artists including Sanza One, Bosuwe, King Ayisoba and Atimbila. The album is his second album but the first video version with the maiden album being an audio album launched in 2016.
