Daniel Morris (Risky) and Frank Osei (Papa Virus or PV) make Wutah, a group that was formed five years ago when they collaborated to perform in a programme at Wesley Grammar Secondary School in Accra.
The name Wutah is a Hausa word which means fire.
The two came into the limelight when they placed second to Praye during the maiden edition of the Nescafe Africa Revelation music competition in Accra.
They later made a demo of some of their songs but had difficulties getting a producer until they met Juliet Amoah of G-strings Entertainment who recorded their album.
Risky and PV, Building Engineering graduate of Takoradi Polytechnic and second year student of Accra Polytechnic respectively live in the same neighbourhood at Mamprobi and wish to stay in the music industry for life.
Wutah’s style of singing on this fast-pacing song proves that hiplife music goes beyond the boundaries of just rapping to the rhythm of a song. Their style is melodious and blends beat of the music.
Their debut album, ‘Anamontuo’ with songs like ‘Adonko’, ‘Gossy Gander’ and ‘Big Dreams’ earned them eleven nominations for ‘The Most Popular Song of the Year’, ‘Album Of the Year’, ‘Artiste of the Year’, ‘Best Male Vocal Performance’, ‘Hiplife Song of the Year, ‘Hiplife Album of the Year’, ‘New Hiplife Artiste of the Year’, ‘Hiplife Artiste of the Year’, ‘New Artiste of the Year’, ‘Song writer of the Year’ and ‘Reggae song of the Year’.
Their track “Big Dreams” won the Reggae song of the year at the 2006 Edition of the Ghana Music Awards.
