Lamisi
First acquiring experience by teaming up with The Patch Bay Band as lead singer and performing throughout Ghana for several years, she then released “Tanka Fanka” which marked her debut solo career. The Afro-Fusion-Pop, a melting pot, crisscrossing world music, is “en route”. The birth of a musical genre, an identity which will be established away from the confines of simple categorisation.

Lamisi Akuka, is a singer songwriter and performer from Zebilla, a town in the Upper East region of Ghana. She is very notable for being the first female from her ethnic tribe to pursue music on national and international stages. Lamisi aspires to be a catalyst for positive change, using the power of music to amplify voices, champion social causes, and bridge communities.
Lamisi climbed up the educational ladder and in the process, developed a passion to see the girl-child rise to the top equally as the boy-child and to reach higher for her goals. She now serves as a role model and a benefactor to many of these girls by providing material resources and sharing her experience to inspire and motivate them.
This situation of prioritizing male children in the northern regions of Ghana has always left the area behind and underdeveloped, in comparison to the southern parts of Ghana.
Empowered to change this by the inspirational saying of James Kwegyir Aggrey a foremost Ghanaian educationis that goes: “The surest way to keep people down is to educate the men and neglect the women. If you educate a man you simply educate an individual but if you educate a woman, you educate a whole nation.”
Strongly moved by Mr. Aggrey’s vision, the Lamisi Music Foundation in its quest to Empower deprived girls to have equal access4 to education in northern Ghana has improved through the power of music as a tool for effecting positive change.
