Our spotlight over
the weekend landed on the beat maker behind hit songs such as Edem’s Over
Again, Raquel’s Sweetio ft Sarkodie, Trigmatic’s Agjeii ft Raquel, Ghana music
awards male vocalist winner Kesse’s Ugly Truth, among others, the Genius
Selection.
Known in real life as
Gideon Amoafo the name ‘Genius Selection’ was given to him from a humble
beginning with friends who could not understand how a young guy could
understand and play the piano like he manufactured it.
In a chat with
18newspaper about how he started, the Genius Selection whose studio is at
Dansoman said: ‘I used to manage a studio for someone but before then I was
blessed by God with the touch of the Piano or let’s say the Keyboard so I could
do many things with the keyboard, so that was how it started from managing
someone studio to my own studio’.
He maintained: ‘the
act of producing quality unique original beats has been a passion, something
that I can’t do without, so each day I thank God for such a talent’. Even with
the talent Gideon still studied sound engineering, became the best student
during his school days and after school worked with the same school as T A(
teaching assistance) for two years,
where his scope of recording developed more.
On the question on
how he met the big names to record them, Gideon noted: ‘it is divine favor plus
connection with recommendation. I met Raquel through recommendation and, ever
since have been working with her, I also met Trigmatic through recommendation
and, when we met God glorified Himself with a hit, Kesse, Edem the same, Tinny,
Jupitar, Samini, Sarkodie, the list is endless and its all divine connection’.
What’s new with
Genius selection, the beat maker stressed: ‘I just completed Raquel’s new
single ‘Set me free’, also just completed a project with the Stunners boys
called ‘ Pumpapa’, just handed over Apaatse’s ‘please teacher ft stay Jay hit
to him as well, Kesse is on promotion with the ‘Ugly Truth’, but there will be a
promotion to support upcoming musicians soon, that is record one get a bonus
beat for free and plus the future just started for the Genius selection, we pray
to God for life and more hitz.
In his final words,
Gideon Amoafo aka the Genius selection thanked all the artistes he has worked
with from Natural Face, Bino, Stay J, Apaatse and all mentioned above or left
out, please note that ‘I am always there for your creativity, pass through the
studio every time and let’s make another hit, God bless us all’, (smiles)
It’s the revolution

Champion, Jupitar ft Trigmatic, Raquel ft Sarkodie, Trigmatic ft Raquel, or any
time you hear ‘the Genius selection’ please note where it is coming from because
