Ghanaian musician, producer, and Disc Jockey (DJ), Richard Essien, who resides in the USA, has announced that he will be releasing 15 songs this year. Magic Rocker, as he is popularly known, is a gifted vocalist and performer. He believes that Ghanaians will be drawn to his unreleased tracks because of his unique singing skills, and that he expects his music to have a significant influence on Africa.
A three-time Chicago Music Awards (CMA) winner, Magic Rocker hopes his songs will inspire people by sharing his story of success. He has gone a long way as a songwriter, DJ, musician, and cab driver. He has worked with Grammy Award winners such as Frankie Paul, Sizzla, Ava Cherry, Don Carlos, Michael Rose, Anthony B, and Elephant Man.
Magic Rocker’s career began as a Chicago club DJ before he hosted the children’s television series “Elma and Company” on Chicago public access cable. However, the passing of his mother prevented him from becoming incredibly famous at the time of his debut album, ‘Back To My Root’.
In an interview, Magic Rocker shared, “My mother’s death came as a shocker to me, so l needed to put my music businesses on hold for more than a year while l mourned her passing, since she has been instrumental in my life.”
After his mother’s funeral, Magic Rocker went back to the studio to continue work on his album, ‘Finally’. However, he experienced some hardships in the process of making the album, so he decided to give it a different name, ‘Restored My Soul’.
Magic Rocker emphasized the need for support from the Ghanaian community to stream and share his song, expressing his readiness to utilize his music to change the world.
In addition to being a wheelchair accessible driver, actor, structural engineer, and building constructor, Magic Rocker was crowned the King of the Road and Mr. Jack of All Trades. He is also the Chief Executive Officer of Gavali and Toonga Records, Just Taxi One, Just Taxi LLCs, and Charles Construction Company, with over 150 workers.
Magic Rocker’s determination and varied talents make him a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. His versatility and commitment to using his music for a greater purpose are truly remarkable. Ghanaians should look forward to the release of his 15 songs this year and support his journey to becoming a household name in the music industry.
