Bempong's stage name Dewuro comes from a traditional type of gong, to bring attention in the Ashanti kingdom palace.

Speaking with Pulse Ghana, Dewuro said his interest in music started in church, where his father was the music director and drummer.

In his early years as musician he was a drummer for United Abbysinia, a reggae band from Accra. He still plays with various live bands.

"I love performing live as it connects me to the audience. It also means you express your emotions and can talk about different situations," he said.

The single will also feature on his debut EP to be released later in 2016.
