Dawsey has a debut single making waves in the market and can be downloaded from any free music downloadable website titled ‘Shine’. He then decided to follow it up with his forthcoming E.P which he hopes to help him get the shine and recognition required to get to that level of an A- list artiste. Basically his chosen name for the E.P is ‘Summer Waves’ not because of the season but then he is trying to be metaphoric about the name. In other words he is trying to compare the tracks on his yet to be released E.P to that of the Wave in the the summer. There are 7 tracks on the E.P with three tracks which he featured some of his fans favorite artiste on and there is also one bonus track to conclude the playlist.
Dawsey’s expectations from his fans out there is one to write home about. He believes people will be blown away by his creativity and craftsmanship on this masterpiece he has put together and finally concluded that, Ghanaians should support in making the dreams of up and coming artiste a reality by buying their product and also share it till it reaches their enemy.

This article is supported with facts so before judging, make sure you read to the end and understand well.
Firstly, it seems Ghanaian music is paving way into the Nigerian market once again.
My facts, i.e., Nigerian presenters, Djs, Musicians and social media tweets proved to me the current top 3 Ghanaian musicians in Nigeria are Stonebwoy, Bisa Kdei and Sarkodie, with “Higher”, “Brother Brother” and “Adonai” respectively. However, for me to choose which one is topping the others was a bit difficult but I finally got a result.
After hearing from my sources, I later on concluded by comparing tweets and hashtags from Nigeria for these songs and to my conclusion, I realized “Brother Brother ” by Bisa Kdei is the biggest Ghanaian music in Nigeria.
I was a bit surprised to see the tweets about “brother brother”, because basically, most people in Nigeria keep requesting for this song and checking their population, I can only imagine how big it is.
Bisa Kdei should better prepare and go to Nigeria for some gigs and connects because I feel this is his season. His current song which is also similar to brother brother titled “Sister Girl” is in addition enjoying airplay too. You can check the song out here.
As a matter of fact, Bisa Kdei understands the use of indigenous instruments comparing his songs to other Ghanaian songs.
From tweets by some Nigerian citizens, most people are in love with Bisa Kdei’s “brother brother” but the funny part is, they seem not to understand the language, yet they are attached to it.
This is a typical example that good music is not limited by language. I can imagine that mood where you don’t understand the musician but you are crazy about the song and want to dance your feet off.
Talking to one of the biggest presenters in Nigeria, he confessed that Nigerians are obsessed with Bisa Kdei’s Brother Brother song now.
Days ago, one of Nigeria’s top highlife acts, Adekunle Gold tweeted that Bisa Kdei’s “brother brother” is his favorite song. He did send out series of tweets on how the song is becoming Nigerian’s latest addiction.
