JOEWACKLE: What’s your ideal breakfast?
ADINA: My ideal breakfast? It should have
some eggs. Basically it should have protein and
some fruits. With protein, I prefer eggs.
JWK: Waakye or Jollof?
ADN: Waakye!
JWK: What’s your ideal waakye?
ADN: It has to have gari, macaroni, egg...plenty
shito.
JWK: Who do you make music for?
ADN: I do music for everyone. I do music for
people who have the time to listen and enjoy
good music. My target is to make music people
can relate to.
JWK: What’s your entire music making pro-
cess?
ADN: It depends but I don’t really write my
songs.
JWK: Freestyle?
ADN: No, that’s not what I mean [laughs] we
have writers that we contract to help out.
Sometimes the songs have already written so
I will have to feel it to get the right emotions
so people will be able to connect with the song
and believe in what I’m saying. Or we cook it
all up in the studio - I do make inputs here and
there as well.
JWK: Has there been a time you receive a
song from a writer and you reject it because
you weren’t feeling it?
ADN: Yeah, a few times
JWK: Was there a time you perhaps heard a
song and felt you can also do music?
ADN: Hmmm...That’s hard to put a finger on.
I grew up with a lot of music from dif-
ferent parts of the world so I can’t
really tell which one
inspired me
to do music but I know, I have always had the
talent and passion to do music.
JWK: What music will we never find you
listening to?
ADN: That’s quite a difficult question to an-
swer because I love music. I listen to any and
every genre out there if I come across it, I’m
sure there are some I haven’t heard of yet but
it’s exciting to find new music every day.
JWK: What genre will we be surprised to
find you listening to?
ADN: I don’t know...Rock, maybe [laughs]. I
think it’s because people have this notion that
I’m a calm person so people finding me listening
to Rock music might come as a surprise.
JWK: Is there a verse from anyone’s song
you heard and you were like “I wish I had
sang this”?
ADN:
Ummm...the
whole song
from
Kidi;
Thun-
der. I
heard
this
song
once
and I
wished
it was
my song
[laughs]
