The nation of Ghana was once called the Gold Coast and boasted some of the greatest treasure ever extracted from the earth! Today Ghana has produced another treasure! His name is Koo Wiase and he is a musical entertainer with a sound as rich and deep as his heritage. Ghana’s export of this fantastic talent to other shores around the world will be sure to enrich music fans and the music industry!
Koo Wiase was born and grew up on the hard Zongo streets of the city of Kumasi/ Oseikrom in Ghana. He was born Gordon Asante, but as is the local custom he was given the nickname Koo Wiase by the older folks who knew him. To honor them and his roots, Koo Wiase uses this alias as his stage name today. Koo Wiase was not immune to the trouble of the street, but he was smart and he had great potential. His mother wanted to keep him out of as much trouble as possible so at an early age she signed him up for music lessons. At the age of 10 Koo Wiase was singing and playing drums in church. Koo Wiase moved to the United States with his family and continued to develop his natural talent and his own style which is richly reflected in the music which defines him and his message today.
