One other name that the singer has in his “portmanteau” that many of his fans may not know is Abubakar Siddiq.
Daasebre is a Muslim and Abubakar Siddiq is his Islamic name.
“Daasebre was born into Islam. His late mother was a Muslim who died when Daasebre was only five years old.
Daasebre was christened as Kojo Gyamenah and as a royal he later added “Daasebre” to distinguish himself from others with the same name.
Later on in his life he adopted the Islamic name in line with his faith.
“As a man of the people, Daasebre does not see why Christians and Muslims should be at each other’s throat over doctrinal differences.
And that is why he has separated his work from his religion to enable him to preach peace and morality to people from different religious backgrounds.
Daasebre is preparing to release a gospel album to underscore his love for God and also thank the Almighty for seeing him through the difficult times he faced in the London jail.
He first shot into the music scene in the 1990’s at a time when hip life was the in thing, to prove that highlife was still alive and was still appealing. His smooth seductive voice and corny lyrics won him the hearts of many women with his single, ‘Kokooko’.
He has since become a household name with several albums to his credit. His current album, in spite of his current predicament with the Law, is still enjoying massive airplays and sales and receiving rave reviews.
He has as much Ghana Music Awards on his mantelpiece as he has a repertoire of great hits. Many of his fans may not know that Daasebre is a Muslim and Abubakar Siddiq is his Islamic name. His late mother was a Muslim who died when Daasebre was only five years old.
He was christened as Kojo Gyamenah and as a royal he later added “Daasebre†to distinguish himself from others with the same name.
