Meet Ada Ratty, tha newcomer behind the smash refix, ‘Saara’ feat. Akosua agyepong

For the latter part of 2015, Ghanaian music newcomer, Ada Ratty made some waves with his iconic hiplife refix to a classic highlife hit by Akosua Agyepong.  Ada Ratty who is signed on 4Real Entertainment gave an excellent twist to the popular oldie, “Saara” originally performed by Akosua Agyapong. ‘Saara’, produced by Appietus, came out with a contemporary groove that leaves listeners reminiscent of the good old days of highlife, yet in tune with modern sounds.

So who is Ada Ratty? He is a creative and dynamic musician who believes in portraying Africa in his music and spreading it across borders. He hopes to inspire the young generation with his music aside entertaining the many music lovers in Ghana. Born on the 5^th of May 1989 as Isaac Tawiah,  Ada Ratty is an up and coming hiplife artiste who hails from Old Ningo and Adafoah in the Greater Accra Region. He attended St. Paul’s Junior High but due to circumstances he dropped out of school at class four. His parents worked really hard and also encouraged him to go back to school but since music was his passion, he kept disturbing the class with rapping and drumming on tables in the classroom which led to his eventual expulsion.

Not one to give up on his plans and hopes of becoming a successful person in future, young Tawiah ended up as a Trotro driver after working as a ‘driver’s mate’ for several years – so he could save some money to record his music.

Ada Ratty loves listing to music and writing his own songs. He started doing music in the year 2005 but started professional music in 2010. His first single was ‘Zangbayo’ featuring Adane Best in 2012. He produced it by himself but didn’t have enough money to support it, and so the music did not do too good.

Still struggling to breakthrough in the music industry, Ada Ratty was supported by 4Real Entertainment’s US-based CEO, Joyce Azudey, which led to the production of his new song ‘Saara’ featuring the evergreen Ghanaian legend Akosua Agyapong. ‘Saara’  is currently on radio and the music video is gaining airplay on some television stations in Accra.

Ada Ratty sees himself to becoming a top artist in the future, a musician who would be remembered in history as an icon whose music made a positive impact on the ordinary Ghanaian and every other listener.
