“ I realised my message was not reaching far so I decided to come out with Your Health Our Wealth which is one of the songs on my Earth People, Your Health Is Our Wealth album in order to drive my message home to all Ghanaians. There is the need for our people to live healthy lives and that is what the song teaches us to do.
The video of Your Health Our Wealth, a reggae song is also out. It was shot at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital to make his message close to reality as possible so that people who watch it can have a feel of what he is about.
“I have been doing music since I was 12-years-old. I love to do music. It is a part of me but sometimes there is this feeling to stop music and do something else but no matter how hard I try, I can’t stay away from it.
“ And that is the reason why I have dedicated myself to be an advocate on health issues and I am doing that through music with approval from the Ministry of Health”, he stated
Omanba, real name Adu Ato Smith, who does reggae, Dancehall, and a little bit of RNB decided to take music seriously after completing Adisadel College and till date “I haven’t looked back” he said.
