Uncategorized August 15, 2016, Comments OffAfter releasing his debut, hit single “RONALDO”, everyone sat up and had no choice but to pay attention to the name Goldstar.
Recently, the Ghanaian Music Industry has witnessed a lot of fierce competition with both the old cats and the new breed trying to compete for the soul of music lovers across the country. But “out of nowhere” comes this GEM.
A genius, a multi-talented individual who however possible, produces his own music, directs, stars and edits his music videos and that of other celebrities.
The current crop of new cats in the industry are not lying low and are taking things up a notch with quality materials week in week out and there seems to be no stopping for them as they aim to give the older generation a good run for their money. Rexford Kyei-Sarkodie popularly known as Goldstar has Stamped his signature across the hearts of most Ghanaians and Africa as a whole making people compare him to the likes of Chris Brown.
In recent times Chris Brown Is one of the few artistes that has taken his craft to another level by storming into the directing field. He directed eight (8) of his music videos on his recent album Royalty. He also directed a video for Wale Feat Big Sean “Slight Work” among others.
Goldstar has already directed videos for big cats such as Ruff n smooth, Oj blaq, Pope skinny, Ded Buddy(Qweci) and more. His music video for the hit song “Ronaldo” showcases everything anyone would need to know about the quality of this gentleman’s work. Wow, thirty seconds into the video and you will be dazzled and amazed already. A masterpiece, a true “EpiQ” video which is the name of his Company in which he is the CEO.
The 25-year-old Musician is a graduate of the University of Ghana, where he studied psychology, after which he travelled to south Africa to study cinematography and motion graphics.
He stated and I quote “people tend to put artistes in a box and try to limit their art, in my world I’m the orchestrator of my art and Ghana will know what they had been missing with my entry into the scene”.
Goldstar is currently working on his Ep titled “ 6 shades of Gold” and is about to release a second single off it which he tells us has a very special feature on it. Currently working with George Britton, Wild out,Pharouk Jibreal and Soble as team managers.
Goldstar combines a variety of styles which he refers to as a “freewave” music. This is so because you will find him spitting some heavy bars on a hip-hop song, the next thing he is showcasing his incredible vocal ability on a an afro beat.
Indeed, he is the true definition of wavy, dope and lit mixed together in a pot of intelligence and hard work.
Finally Ghana has a true star born to compete with the likes of wizkid, davido, tekno and so on as in Nigeria.
