I joined the Methodist Singing Band at age 7 – Naana Blu
Naana Blu, the Ghanaian singer-songwriter who is fluent in English and French, has recently shared that she started her musical journey at the tender age of 7 by joining the Methodist Singing Band.
Naana Blu – Musician
The young artist has made a name for herself in the music industry, and her meteoric rise is evident from the massive success of her 2022 hit singles “You Go Miss Me” featuring Teephlow and “Kwame Ato,” both of which are currently available on all major streaming platforms. Fans eagerly anticipate her next release, “Cartoon,” which is expected to be another chart-topping hit.
In an exclusive interview with Johnnie Hughes, Naana Blu revealed that her musical journey began at seven. Her mother recognized her talent early on and took her to join the Methodist Singing Band. Naana soon became a lead vocalist in the band, singing alongside older women. She also received guidance and support from her primary school teacher, Mr. Bernah, who took her to sing at events like weddings and parties.
Her creative skills have not only mesmerized her fans through her music, but she has also tickled the funny bone of her social media followers with her rib-tickling acting videos. Her exceptional talent for comedy coupled with her distinct style of music and innovative content has made her a highly sought-after personality by several corporations.
Naana Blu has become a household name in Ghana, and her music has won her many fans worldwide. Her impressive collection of songs includes popular hits such as “Sugar Cane,” “Odo Asem”, “This is Highlife” “No Pressure,” “Nam Pa,” and “Dream Boy.”
Naana’s rise to success is a testament to her hard work and dedication to her craft. She has stayed true to her roots and has never forgotten her early beginnings in the Methodist Singing Band. Her talent continues to shine through her music, and her fans eagerly await the release of her latest single, “Cartoon.”

No Artiste in Central Region is bigger than The Central Music Awards – Jungo Fires
Central Music Awards Boss, Jungo, Fires Back at Ungrateful Artistes
The CEO of Heritage Promotions, organizers of the prestigious Central Music Awards, Francis Spio Jungo, has clapped back at artistes belittling the efforts of dedicated stakeholders in the music industry.
In a scathing post on his official Facebook page, Jungo chastised artistes who downplay the impact of the award scheme, citing instances where some musicians faded into obscurity after underestimating the CMA’s influence.
“The Central Music Awards, blessed from above, will endure and shape the future of musicians from the Central Region,” Jungo emphasized. “Artistes will come and go, rise and fall, but our scheme remains steadfast.”
As Ghana’s first and most esteemed regional awards scheme, the Central Music Awards has celebrated, recognized, and honored hardworking musicians in the Central Region for 12 consecutive years.
Notably, the scheme made history in 2023 by flying its “Artiste of the Year” to Dubai, a testament to its commitment to rewarding excellence.
Despite these achievements, some artistes, who have benefited significantly from the scheme, continue to downplay its significance.
Jungo’s Full Statement:
It’s disappointing to see some Central Region Artistes downplaying the efforts of dedicated stakeholders. Many Artistes in the Region cannot point to any award plaque(s) beyond that/those from regional schemes—of which the Central Music Awards (CMA) was the very first, not only in Central but across Ghana.
Over the years, I’ve seen Artistes who dismissed the CMA fade away quickly; while the scheme continue to grow from glory to glory.
Artistes will come and go, rise and fall, but this scheme, “blessed from above” will endure, bearing witness to all these changes and remaining a constant presence.
NB: No Artiste in Central Region is bigger than the CMA, Period!
God bless Central Region
God bless CMA
