DADDY LUMBA PAID MORE THAN I CHARGED FOR MY WORK – Kaywa

Ghanaian music producer and sound engineer, David Kojo Kyei, who is widely recognized as Kaywa, recently revealed his experiences collaborating with the legendary singer Daddy Lumba.

During an interview conducted by Hammer on Kumasi-based Pure FM on June 8, 2023, Kaywa expressed his deep admiration for Daddy Lumba and shared a heartwarming story of the iconic musician’s unexpected act of generosity.

He recounted the privilege he had in producing two highly praised albums for Daddy Lumba: “Aware Pa Ye Anibre” in 2009 and “Ko Hye Po” in 2011.

In the interview, Kaywa fondly reminisced about his collaboration with Daddy Lumba and recognized the profound influence it had on his development as a music producer.

He stated “You know working with Lumba, I mean in and out of the studios. Let me say in the studio, he respects you so much to give you what he believes can take you to the next level…Lumba will give you the liberty and the respect.

“He will suggest things, but at the end of the day, your final say is what he is looking out for, he doesn’t impose.

“I remember I charged him some amount of money but after he paid me the agreed sum, he brought me an amount which was more than what I took, he drove to Tema and took me to his car boot and the money that he gave me was bigger than the entire production.”
