BIOGRAPHY OF FIRESTONE

When people find themselves caught in a place where their dreams, hopes and ideas have nowhere to breathe or fly, something happens. Something that is so natural and powerful, like the water we seek when thirsty, or the food we need when hunger takes over. This energy to change, to move in a different direction produces a voice - a voice loud and strong enough to vibrate and shake the wall that attempts to oppress the will of the masses and the fight for the future. From that first small voice that dared to speak, to resist, to protest - a small, but important insult has now grown into a voice of millions that cannot and will not be silenced.

He hails from a small town called Adukorom in the Eastern Region of Ghana, located at the back of Ewukugua and the villages along Akropong Akuapem, it was easy to see that a small, quiet vibration was growing and has reached a pitch that is now heard by the ears of Ghana and beyond.

There has been many who have attempted to deny the force of change as if trying to prevent a flower from its blossom or a mother from giving birth. In every case this deeply rooted will to express what cannot be denied, rises up and forces all of us to recognize and respect this voice that produced the sound: "Dey Dey Under", "Akosua Sie Ho" and "Ejiorma" to name a few, playing along and strong throughout Ghana.
