PROFILE OF REDFYAH THE COMPOSER/SINGER

The sages say “Commitment, hard work and perseverance shall always sail one through in as much as one wants to work in order to succeed in life”; these have always been the words of Redfyah. Only Jahenskins Kings otherwise he were nobody in relation to where he is coming from. Humility has been with him since that is why Jah is doing in according to His word, humble yourself and God will raise you.

Abudu Kurabaso Seidu a.k.a RasKrizz the Redfyah was born on August 27th 1975 about 3:30pm in the Northern part of Ghana. He is the last of two siblings. At the tender age of one, his father, the then Paramount Chief of Gonja Kingdom passed away. As a result of that he grew up together with his brother in the hands of a single parent and his story unfolds. Dreams are sacred to those whom they are meant for as the transition of the old Man didn’t alter the dream in anyway but rather challenged the good things in him to grow fast with more values and the will to make it work.

Education is the best legacy one can bequeath his children. Never forgetting the importance of education, he started his primary education at Bole Roman Catholic School. At that tender age Redfyah started writing numbers and letters, drawing simple pictures to tell stories. Redfyah having completed the early stage of life where he had acquired basic writing skills, he continued at St. Kizito’s J.H.S. While in school, he had passion and zeal for art so he never wasted his time on unnecessary things when there was no teacher. He used the time judiciously to draw things in the environment to explain some basic concepts in various subjects. His teacher found out that he had an inbuilt artistic skill. Coincidentally, his elder brother was an outstanding artist. He contributed a lot to make him develop his talent by encouraging him and providing him basic art accoutrements judging from his aptness and deftly handiwork. He admired nature, he also had a dream to become a professional artist. He has no shred or modicum of regret for choosing this career in that he sees it as a right direction to develop his innate and in born skill.

Currently, he owns a big art studio in Techiman, BrongAhafo Region of Ghana. Redfyah has always emphasized that, his decision to choose art as a career is one of the successful steps he has taken in life.

Redfyah was enrolled in Damongo Senior High School. He offered Science. In the course of his High School education as a science student, he met one of his teachers called RasAjingo. RasAjingo was a Rastafarian rendering his national service. He treated with utmost contempt the ignoble thoughts, feelings and actions of Rastafarianism. Redfyah was the class captain then. He was obliged to serve his people with due dilligence. In the course of service to RasAjingo, Redfyah realized that Rastafarianism was a way of life and had nothing to do with the perception people had for Rasta men. As a result, he developed passion for Rastafarianism. He heightened and accentuated the fever with much audience to reggae songs from Bob Marley, Burning Spear, Peter Tosh, BujuBanton, Luciano, Culture and other popular Rastafarians. He performed popular songs like One Love, Addis Ababa, Destiny and One Stone to arouse his fans’ enthusiasm during school’s entertainment programmes. Redfyah’s passion for reggae can’t be explained by words. It has become his soul’s food. Gradually reggae became a favorite music genre on campus as one of the “popular” guys on campus has tried to erase some of the negative perceptions held by society.

Furthermore, he is a reggae Dj at Jerryson FM 99.9 a renowned radio station in the BrongAhafo Region. In view of his performance, he has Ghanaian reggae friends like Shasha Marley, Rocky Dawuni, Blakk Rasta, Sheriff Ghali and others. He has been invited on countless occasions to do live shows with the stars mentioned above. He has featured for several reggae artists in their albums including KrissJomah’s Just to Test Waters. Redfyah is a professional artist. He has also developped a passion for music. He has for the past years contributed his quota to the music industry. He is ready to share his God–given talent with the world in his own uniqueness as his first album entitled “CITY OF GOLD” is in the offing. It will be full of melodious Vibes and Fire Works.

Watch Out For Him.
