I am originally from Africa, west, Ghana to be more precise. I was born in the early 80's and migrated to the US in 1992. As a kid i always found myself hearing music that i liked and pretending to be the artist or the performer. I have always loved music. I actually used to record myself back in ghana, i'd take buckets, pans, and pots and flip them upside down to make my own personal drums.

I am originally from Africa, west, Ghana to be more precise. I was born in the early 80's and migrated to the US in 1992. As a kid i always found myself hearing music that i liked and pretending to be the artist or the performer. I have always loved music. I actually used to record myself back in ghana, i'd take buckets, pans, and pots and flip them upside down to make my own personal drums. Since my mother knew that i can play, she bought me a set of drums that i used to play and from there i found myself playing for my church. In high school i found out that one of my friends had a little recording set up in his house. I started to actually pay 10 an hour so that i can record some songs i had written. My first song was over a Mase beat,"Tell me what u want from me". I started bugging him so much that he introduced me to one of his friends who had a better set up and most importantly, the TIME to help. From there i became really good, i knew how to use my voice, how to breath without punching in, now here i am. I have done numerous of shows both big and small. I've been in battles locally and major battles... I am more into the business side of things but recording and performing is my preference. I handle my business for myself so that i can make it to the next level because i don't think there is a person out there who can understand. You can check out my videos on myspacetv.com, search for oh nana, or simply Nana, M'Dubb... People generally can't find a category to fit me in because i have written and recorded so many types of genres of music. I have written High-Life songs, this is the original music style from ghana. I have performed Hip-Life songs, the new rhythm that is now rocking Ghana, i have written R&B songs, Hip-Hop, you name it. I'm not a one style, country, language type of fellow so i simply consider myself to be an INTERNATIONAL MUSICIAN. You can look me up on youtube, myspace, soundclick, ourstage, and many other social websites. I have a saying which goes, THIS GAME IS LIKE DRIVING A VEHICLE AND THE INSURANCE IS LIABILITY, I'M TAKING MY TIME SO IF ANYBODY RUSHING HITS ME FROM THE BACK, THEY ARE ASSED OUT. I still buckle up though because i NEED my health, IT FEELS LIKE THERE IS A MIRROR ABOVE ME, why? BECAUSE ON TOP IS WHERE I SEE MYSELF" DON'T STEAL IT... m'DUBB
