I get my music from things I see and books I read- Fotocopy

Eleven year-old Ghanaian artiste Fotocopy has shared insights into his creative process.

In a conversation with DJ Slim on Daybreak Hitz, when asked about how he gets inspiration for his compositions, Fotocopy revealed that things he sees and the books he reads are very crucial to his music making.

“I get my imagination from the things I see and books I read, and I don’t write the songs. Because some of them, I sing in Twi and I’m not really good at writing Twi because in my school they won’t allow you to learn Twi there. We do Spanish, French, Dutch.

It’s better I do it an audio, send it to my dad, then he’d call for a group meeting then we’ll help with arrangements, I go to the studio, record… my dad does everything. He helps with the writing of songs, he video-directs, he does everything,” he said.

Fotocopy also praised his dad’s approach to their collaborations indicating that he makes the song in a way he understand and makes him comfortable in his deliver.

Talking about freedom to express himself, Fotocopy responded, “I’m very very free with my dad, So with stuff like that, I’m able to say oh dad I think it’s not supposed to be this way, we share ideas together. My dad is the closest person I’ve been with. He’s the coolest dad I’m telling you.”

Finally, Fotocopy spoke about how he balances his music career with his education.

“From Mondays to Fridays are my busy days, I don’t joke with my education. But on weekends I can music as long as I want,” he said.

With his dad’s support and guidance, Fotocopy has found a harmonious balance between pursuing his passion for music and excelling in school.
