2.Mr Drew
Highlife artiste Mr Drew also had his journey rooted in dance long before the fame. On Adom TV’s Ahosepe Xtra, he shared that he spent about 20 years as a backup dancer for mainstream artistes.
Gyedu-Blay Ambolley, Kobby Rana, EL are just a few of the mainstream acts he danced for some years ago.
Often nicknamed the “Ghanaian Chris Brown,” Mr Drew has been vocal about how the American musician, Chris Brown, influenced his craft, blending vocals with choreography and performance theatrics.

3. Black Sherif
Black Sherif’s rise from Konongo to global stardom has been well documented, but it is often forgotten that he did not start as a musician.
Before songs like Destiny, Ankonam, Money, Ade Akye and Mariana became early gems in his catalogue, Blacko was dancing at events.
In an interview on the Afrobeats Podcast hosted by Nigerian music executive Adesope sometime in December 2022, Black Sherif disclosed that he used to dance at weddings for money.

4.Oseikrom Sikanii
Kumasi-based hip-hop act, Oseikrom Sikanii, known for his flashy lifestyle, designer drip and hits like Yagye Sika, Twatis and Sika Duro, also did not begin with music. Before the bars and the flexes, he was a dancer.
Today, he still sneaks in dance moves during live sets, using footwork and comedic timing to entertain crowds and keep the stage active.

5. Slim Buster
Ebenezer Asare, widely known as Slim Buster, came into the spotlight through dance after winning the 1986 National Dance Championship.
He later moved to the UK to study music and sound engineering before returning home to take up music full-time.
With hits like Marsherita, Masan Aba and Ofiri Hen Ara, Slim Buster built a brand that fused choreography, fashion and live performance in a way that made him a household name.
His routines became part of his music identity, influencing a generation of performers who began to treat stagecraft as part of the art, not just an add-on.
