My real name is Boateng, Joseph Agyenim. I am hip-hop and Afro-pop artist. My artist name is Golddust, and my signature is PUP PUP BANG! or PUP BANG! I started listening to music at a very young age. My greatest inspiration has always been artists from the west-coast in the USA, example of such artists are Eminem, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dog, 50cent, Tupac Shakur, Eazy-E, Ice Cube, The Game, Nate Dogg, Xzibit, etc. Tupac with his lyrical sense made me realise music is not always about rhymes of the same sound like AAA, BBB, CCC schemes. So I started perfecting my craft with story line rap without concentrating on too much unnecessary rhymes. This made me love Okomfour Kwadee, Obrafour and not to forget the GRAND PAPA Reggie Rockstone. I see them as legends in the game and I will always respect them for that. Before I got to the senior high school, my love for rap music was intense and I was able to capture the entire student population and some other teachers with my first performance of Sisqo’s song titled “unleash the dragon”. “Nashito Vag Vegas” was my nickname at the time. I followed up with some other songs of my own titled “Ma Ba ooh!”, and a remix I did on TH4Q’s song which was titled by the student population as “Poopo ooh!” Between 2004-2010, I was able to record songs like “Ma ba ooh!”, Places, Places(Remix) feat. RM Genesis, Kwaku Radikel and Poison(GolddustSNR). Within that time, I was able to share the stage with 4x4 at Akroma Plaza Takoradi, Odombofour, now Nhyiraba Kwadwo at Westline Hotel, also in Takoradi Tadisco down, and TH4Q’s. Within the same period I was working as a Transactional Processor at the then ACS-BPS which became a Xerox Company. The importance of education was key in whatever I was doing, be it Music or Data Entry. I gave myself a break from work and music, which I began to pursue Higher Education. On June, 2018 I graduated with a Second Class Upper in B.Ed. (English) at the Catholic University of Ghana at Fiapre in Sunyani. From 2017-2018, I was able to record various songs with a producer by name Abbey Beat who later became a good friend of mine. Within the time, I recorded Ma Ba ooh! (redo), Ryd Her Home, Boss my Brain feat Mazi (Nigerian artist), I’m back, Ashesi, M3ba feat. Jay Tizzy, Bad Energy and I wanna know. “After the D” which literary means after my degree was produced by Carpass Nsenku (Accra), which the vocals was taken by Vybez ne Beat (Takoradi). The song was presented to the Weebird Groupe of Board members and I became a member 2019. At Weebird Groupe I got to deliberate with People like DaCosta, the Birthday hit maker who happens to be the CEO and many other executives. In 2019, I began my musical journey with much seriousness after I had met with the Legend Mr. David Kwamena Bolton, the CEO of D’kaybee Production Gh, who helped me to record a song with Khibans(Formerly at D’kaybee) which he(BOLTON) mastered. Few months later, I was nominated for Best Hip-hop artist of the year at the Emerging Music Awards 2019. In fact, it turned into a verbal blow between my team and the organizers of the awards, which they themselves admitted something went wrong that triggered my team to ask questions. On social media, many people showed their displeasure after the Award was given to a dude who had not come close to 10 percent of my votes which evidence of it was shown in an article written by Caring Diggy. I believe there is no bad talent in music. Every artist has his or her own uniqueness and must be respected for that. I listen more and talk less just to be informed. Being versatile is a plus when it comes to getting more listeners, and feel really proud about that. To me, music can always be measured with the correct musical tool. Therefore, investors of music should not always think that good talents are the ones on reality shows.
