Inspiration and motivation mustn't always be sourced from
“Super humans” or “Super sources”. Ordinary people inspire and motivate us
more, because we relate to them more than we do to “Super humans”; that is if
there’s any like that. These are very common things that we can find all around
us yet people spend a lot searching for inspiration and motivation. Your
friends are a reservoir of inspiration if you take a closer look at their
approach to life.
Take for instance the life of this young Ghanaian up and
coming artiste; what most people would prefer to call an underground artiste.
He grew up only to realize that he is in love with music, hip hop music to be
précised, and thereafter committed himself to pursue that interest as a
vocation.
As a kid in basic school, he was inspired and influenced
by the likes of Eminem, 50 cent, Skepta, Tinchy Stryder and other top notched
hip hop musicians. He did it for the love of it.
Going to high
school he began to record his own songs, some of which he performed to his
school mates and at other external High School events. He is not one of those
you could say that his palm kernels are cracked for him by miraculous spirits.
If he was ever spoon -fed then it’s obviously not in this respect. He’s faced
life squarely and has taken his dreams into his own hands. The zeal, the
commitment, the persistence, the consistence, the fortitude and the positive
attitude with which he pursues his dreams is what amuses me. He is never
intimidated by the fact that the music genre (hip hop/grime) he does isn’t a
widespread genre in Ghana. His motivation is that he’s part of that minority
that will stage the revolution in the music industry to give hip hop/grime the
prominence in deserves.
What more of inspiration could you possibly be looking
for that you can’t find in this guy? Here is a guy with the least support yet
gets his name inked wherever he goes. Here is a guy who writes his own songs,
directs and edits his own videos. Here is a guy who takes to social media and a
few mainstream media to promote and market himself. You may call him the
manager, producer and promoter of himself. What else could be more motivating?
I’m talking about a guy whose hard work won him
international recognition by way of winning the video of the week on www.finaltouchuk.com
with the
music video“life”.(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3whvX1hD-1k).
A guy whose song you can find on amazon,emusic and on itunes through the following links; http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FLife-Single-Pwadura%2Fdp%2FB00M7AYWY6&h=eAQGPzSsG,http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.emusic.com%2Falbum%2Fpwadura%2Flife-single%2F15155644%2F&h=eAQGPzSsG and https://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fitunes.apple.com%2Fgh%2Falbum%2Flife-single%2Fid903674554&h=eAQGPzSsG
I’m talking about a guy whose determination got him an
interview on FT radio in the UK by @huntizzy
I’m talking about a guy whose pro-activeness and finesse
got him featured on Dj Black Cypher;a Viasat 1 TV show that showcases Ghanaian
rap talents.
I’m talking about a guy who is constantly conspicuous on
all campus student big stages particularly in Ghana Technology University,
University of Professional Studies, University of Ghana,legon etc.
I’m talking about a guy whose dexterity got him a prime
time interview on Y campus Xpress on Y fm by Joel.
I’m talking about a guy who is currently working on new
tape called the #RedGiant and a couple of videos for it. The list goes on and
on…..
SO next time you hear the signature/slogan “ Pwadura in
da booth, #rekanizit”, turn up the volume and you’ll understand the kind of
person I’m talking about.
I’m talking about PWADURA EMMANUEL. Simply known as
PWADURA on stage.
You may like to interact with him on social media on the
ff platform; Twitter:@pwadura IG;Pwadura Fb page ; @pwadura
