Legendary Ghanaian musician Kojo Antwi has presented copies of his memoir, Mr Music Man: The Journey, to the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, and the Asantehemaa, Nana Yaa Akyaa II, during a courtesy visit to Manhyia Palace.
The visit took place during the Awukudae Festival, giving the music icon the opportunity to formally present his book to the Asante royal household.
Kojo Antwi presented 300 copies of the memoir to Otumfuo and 50 copies to the Asantehemaa.
During his meeting with the Asantehene, Kojo Antwi also revealed that he plans to launch his next album at Manhyia Palace in honour of Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.
Although the date for the album launch has not been announced, the musician assured Otumfuo that the project would be launched in his presence.
After meeting the Asantehene, Kojo Antwi visited the Asantehemaa to congratulate her on her enstoolment and presented copies of his memoir to her.
He was accompanied by his wife, Mrs Rocklyn Antwi, and ace broadcaster Dr Kwame Adinkrah.
The visit brought together two important parts of Ghanaian culture, highlighting the connection between the traditional institution and the country’s creative arts industry.
Mr Music Man: The Journey, which was launched in February 2026, tells the story of Kojo Antwi’s life, music career and experiences in Ghana’s entertainment industry.
The memoir covers his early years, his rise in the music industry and his journey to becoming one of Ghana’s well-known musicians.
It also looks at his experiences in the music industry, the people he met and how his music developed over the years.
Kojo Antwi previously said he decided to document his life partly because many African music legends left behind very few written records about their experiences.
He said the memoir was meant to preserve his story and add to the history of African music.
Kojo Antwi has built a career influenced by highlife, Afropop and reggae, with his music gaining audiences in Ghana and across Africa.
His visit to Manhyia Palace therefore served as more than a book presentation, bringing together Ghana’s traditional heritage and musical history.
The Awukudae Festival also provided a fitting occasion for the visit, with traditional leaders, dignitaries and members of the public taking part in the celebrations.
For Kojo Antwi, presenting his memoir to Otumfuo was an opportunity to share his personal and musical journey with one of Ghana’s important custodians of culture and tradition.
