UNDER THE SPOTLIGHT

David Danquah (Gentia)

Under the spotlight is a segment I am introducing and this is dedicated to upcoming artiste who want their names to be heard. There will be weekly updates of fresh artistes who will be given the chance to tell their story  and sell their products to the Ghanaian audience.

On today's bill, I introduce to you a young man with great potential and talent, I mean this guy has to be on the scene as at now, but I guess everything takes time. Now let's get down to serious business.
His name is Danquah David but he goes by the name "Gentia" as his stage name. David hails from Kwahu and he has three siblings with whom he grew up with. The smile on his face when his at the mention of his family depicts that he has nice memories of his family when he was growing up. He attended Wesley Grammar in Accra.

As a child, David's raw passion for music never soured, and as he grew up the fire kept burning and burning and pushing him more to do music. he had challenges getting people to listen to any ideas and tunes he had in mind. When asked if at a point in time he decided to give up, he stated that, "it got to a time where my body told me to forget this dream and move on to something else, but my mind wouldn't stop me and I held on to it". He got the attention of producers with his single "Rihanna Montanna". This song has the azonto/alkayida flair and it's a tune one can't help but dance to when played.

At the moment, Gentia is set to release his debut album ")si Me Ny3 Ni Class". When asked why this album name and he smile and  answered by saying "some people and producers looked down on me and today by God's help I am here and I just want them to know that even though they said I couldn't make it and I couldn't get there, well here I am". His album which is set to be released has six songs with two instrumentals. He has a high life song on the album entitled "Me Ne Woa" which is one of my personal favorites and it's yet to be released. He is signed on to "Ranfra Records" and he couldn't help but reign blessings on his producer Mr. Ransford who believed in his dream and has helped him so far.

 "Rihanna Montana" is the first song on his album that has been released by his record label and it has a sizzling music video that has also being released. the video was directed by Steve Gyamfi, a multi talented director who has directed music videos for various artiste's like "Stonebwuoy", "Chemphe", "Keche" and the likes. Gentia's dreams and aspirations is to get to a higher level in his career and take the African label across the shores of Africa. Responding to the question "the concept behind RihannaMontanna" he stated that the song is simply potraying beauty and the the rate at which people can go to show their affection to people they love.
