Daddy Lumba's life and career

Born on September 29, 1964, in Nsuta in the Ashanti Region to Kwadwo Fosu and Comfort Gyamfi, a.k.a. Ama Saah, Lumba rose from obscurity to become one of Ghana's biggest musicians ever.

Lumba started singing in his childhood and was the leader of Juaben Senior High School choir from 1983 until he completed in 1985.

At Juaben SHS, he formed the Lumba Brothers group with two male friends and his then-girlfriend, Theresa Abebrese.

Upon completion of his secondary school education, Lumba travelled to Germany with the help of Abebrese. He met Ernest Nana Acheampong, who was already playing for a band in Germany. Through their meeting, Lumba, who was only a gospel singer, experimented with highlife and never looked back.
