Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?

I learn how to dance as soon as I took my first step as a Child. So I grew up with the Music as an early age. As of today in my village my family has their traditional group. I am from the Frafra tribe located in the upper East Region of Ghana.
When I went to College I decided to master in Dance and Music. I teach at SDSU, City College, SCPA and many Elementary Schools in San Diego County. The name of my Band is called Akayaa and Bolga Zohdoomah ( friends of my village)
