Prince
Evans Addae better Known with his stage name Prinz Wan is a Ghanaian born in
Greater Accra- Ghana on October 29, 1990. I have six (6) siblings of which am
the second. I currently live at Cantonments. I speak English, Twi and Ga. I am
also a graduate of the University of Professional
Studies, Accra; holding a first degree in Bachelor of Science Banking and
Finance.I began to sing at age 12 but could notrealize the talent in me till
age 18 after my secondary school. Although during my young age of 13 in my
Junior High, I used to sing at my church of which I fully became part of the
church choir; J.C Mensah Methodist Church Dansoman – Tunga. I never had
training on my music piece but had the zeal of playing the Jazz for the church.
In
High school in the early 2007, I joined the school choir of which I finally
became part of the church main choir and I sang tenor. In the school choir, I decided to form my own
group when I discovered this inborn talent in me.
I
quite remember my sister and I went to a friend’s wedding and I sang to move
the congregation and there I discovered my talent.
At
the university, the desire of music became more fire burning in me. I started
recording singles at several recording studios. I worked with sound engineers
such as Red now Beat Monsta, G-Money, P.k, O’tion, and Odo Nsuo among others. I
have been an underground artiste for several years and have had collaboration
with several artist that I cannot even remember. My first single titled Yekaaye;
my first hit recorded by Red now Beat Monsta was not well promoted because of
lack of fund and management. I have had the opportunity of meeting some
renowned celebrities’ like Sarkodie, Mugeez R2Bs, Asem, Shatta Wale, Pope
Skinny, Edem, kwabenaKwabena, and some gospel artists.
Vision, Purpose and
Mission
I
have the vision of creating a well brand image as an artist in the industry and
what had always motivated me in music had been good tunes, and the session of
quality music from renowned artists around the world. Some examples of artists
I have looked upon or liked their work include Akon of Konvict and other
popular Jamaican artiste like Sean Kingston. I love to hear positive tunes
which will go a mile way to influence the youth positively. My music style had
not be well defined since am capable of doing all kinds of music. I have rapped
on several collaborations and to a larger extent battled in rap hip hop
competition even at my tertiary. I had a stage name from my peers those days
as’ Concealer’ till I changed to Prince 1 and rebranded it as Prinz Wan; where
the Wan means ‘When God is Able Noting is impossible ‘. Currently, am fully
into Gospel, Love and Inspirational. I do RnB, Hip-Hop, and Afro-Pop. I have
the passion and unidentified zeal to rule and reign in this God giving talent.
Leisure
During
my school days at Kotoka Burma-Camp, I used to play football and Basketball
with friends.
In
the school team, I played number 7. Those days if I had concentrated on the
football, I would not have been here doing music; probably be in one of the
hottest leaks abroad. I can really dribble with the ball and score beautiful
goals. This granted me the opportunity to make new friends who made me happy
anytime we met. I had support from teachers anytime I had problem with my academics.
As time went by, my interest for football faded when my parents went to settle
at Dansoman. I fell in love with basketball since they called it gentle and D-bi’s
game and till date I still prefer basketball to football.
Again,
I love to travel around to explore and learn new things to add to my scope of
ideas.
I
have travelled as far to Mali, Nigeria without the approval of my parents just
to explore. One day, given the opportunity, I would like to tour the whole of
Ghana and Africa to really appreciate my history and my background.
Moreover,
singing had been my passion as well as my leisure. Everywhere I find myself I
sing along. And because I loved basketball, it had been attached to it that all
basketball stars like music and dancing and I always supported the view.
During
my level 200, I really loved the music to the extent of skipping schools to
sleep over studios. This affected my academics and it largely dropped my
performance; what we term “GPA” down. I advised myself and desisted from music
till I completed in order to revive my grades. Notwithstanding that, I still
wrote more lyrics to be recorded after school. All finally changed when I had a
unique encounter with God and I made Him the king of my thoughts and everything
changed right from my lyrics to the glory of God. I told God I wanted to do
gospel and love songs. He searched me thoroughly before he gave me the spirit
to inspire me. Now I have singles yet to be promoted by his grace of God.
