Don’t allow my son into your studio - Sarkodie’s mom before the fame

It has been established that Sarkodie’s mum at a
point in time was also one of the dream killers
Sarkodie had to deal with when he started his
music journey.
If a tweet by Pharuk Jbreal, the artiste behind
‘Pressure', a song that is quickly becoming a street
anthem in Ghana, is anything to go by, then indeed
Sarkodie had been through a lot before he hit the
limelight.
The tweet disclosed how Sarkodie’s mum went to
Nana Fynn’s studio to warn him not to allow her
son (Sarkodie) to his studio.
A lot of musicians can related to this situation and
will attest to the fact that family can be one of the
biggest challenges that confronts an upcoming
musician.
When Pharuk Jbreal was contacted to elaborate on
the tweet, he explained that he decided to share that
experience to inspire people with dreams to be
reasonably stubborn for their dreams and follow
Sarkodie’s shining example.
He further affirmed that Sarkodie’s mum made it
clear to Nana Fynn that music is taking Sarkodie’s
attention from his education and that she was
worried.
“I happen to know Sarkodie before he became a big
star and even had songs with him, he hasn’t
changed in terms of character, he is not into drugs
and lives quite a decent life. It is obvious that his
mum is proud of what her son has turned out to be.

I have seen her at some of his events and it says it
all. I can understand his mother's concerns at that
time, there are quite some disturbing stories about
musicians out there and as a mother you can only
be vigilant and look out for your child. I'm sure
Sarkodie will one day get a degree or even go
beyond that, education is not a race,” Pharuk Jbreal
said.
Pharuk Jbreal who was formally known as Ruky is
making a comeback to music after dropping the mic
to pursue some corporate ambitions. He found
himself in the energy sector and later proceeded to
head a multinational company.
“I was on the last chapter of my yet to be launched
book called Your Passion Your Paycheck, when the
inspiration came for me to get back to what I love,
which is music. Sarkodie has also been quite
instrumental for my comeback. Anytime we meet,
he makes it a point to encourage me to come back
to music because he feels my creative ability is
amazing,” Pharuk Jbreal added.
He also revealed that he will use his music to
support developmental issues such as Youth in
Agriculture and Zongo communities’ empowerment.
