Award-winning Ghanaian musician Nii Funny is celebrating a remarkable milestone in his musical career  a decade of creative collaboration with his longtime backing vocalist, Ivy Otoo, widely known in the industry as Mizlarley.

The celebration marks ten years of a partnership that has significantly shaped Nii Funny’s sound and stagecraft, cementing his place in the Ghanaian music scene. From his early hits like “Yooko Ebreaki Me” to his most recent performances, Mizlarley’s soulful harmonies and onstage chemistry with Nii Funny have become an essential part of his musical identity.

Speaking on the anniversary, Nii Funny expressed deep appreciation for Mizlarley’s loyalty, professionalism, and artistry.

“Mizlarley has been more than a backing vocalist  she’s been a sister, a musical compass, and a constant presence through all the highs and lows. Ten years is no small journey, and I’m proud of what we’ve built together,” said Nii Funny.

The duo is planning a special anniversary concert in Accra later this year to commemorate the journey. The event will feature a retrospective of their collaborative works, guest appearances from fellow artists, and surprise performances.
