Renowned Ghanaian event and music promoter Nii Ofori Tackie Tetteh, better known as Alordia, has shared insights into his significant contributions to the growth of Ghanaian music by facilitating travel opportunities for artists to Europe.

According to him, he has been instrumental in assisting numerous Ghanaian musicians, such as King David, Tinny, Adane Best, and Nii Funny, in their travels abroad, ensuring they get exposure and opportunities to connect with global audiences.
Alordia also recounted how he recently aided Bukom Banku, the popular Ghanaian boxer and entertainer, with his travels.

He also hinted at showcasing prominent acts like Shatta Wale and rising talents such as Blakid during the event. This year’s edition will be bigger and better,” he promised, emphasizing his goal of continuously elevating Ghanaian music on the international stage.
Over the years, Alordia has built a reputation as a pivotal figure in the Ghanaian music industry. His efforts to promote artists and organize high-profile events like the Ghana Music Awards UK have contributed immensely to the global recognition of Ghanaian music and culture.
