I Am Newest Music Talent From Nima- Lizzard

Lizzard Larry

After the emergence of award-winning music group VIP from Nima, and subsequently FOI duo, no other talent from Nima has really been accepted by Ghanaian music fans.

But young talent Lizzard is hopeful of being the
latest addition to the list of artistes who have made a major breakthrough onto the music scene from Nima.
He said, “I am the newest music kid from Nima.” He appears to have the energy to follow in the footsteps of VIP who, after several years, is still rocking Ghana’s entertainment scene.

Stranger

Lizzard, born Abdul-Rahman Larry, is currently ready with a single, ‘Say Kulley’, featuring Stranger of FOI. The song produced by LLE Studio inside Adenta will be out soon.
“It’s a song that advises ladies out there to stick to one man,” he told NEWS-ONE in an exclusive interview.
“Nima has great talents. If you don’t stay there, you won’t know. We also love our own and I’m hopeful of making it,” he added.
Lizzard partly grew up in Nima and Sweden. He started school from Victory International School then to 37 Military Training School.
Due to his interest and passion for music, Lizzard started learning sound engineering. Now he is not just a sound engineer but also a musician ready with his single.

Actress Yvonne Okoro To Face Kyeiwaa

Yvonne Okoro

Popular Ghanaian English actress Yvonne Okoro and Twi actress Rose Mensah, popularly known as Kyeiwaa, according to information gathered by NEWS-ONE, would be starring together in a movie.

Even though talks are still ongoing to get the two to be part of the movie, sources are sure the deal will go through. 

Both stars are interesting characters to watch and have both won awards.

Yvonne was a co-winner of 2010 Ghana Movie Award’s Best Actress in lead role (English Language) while Kyeiwaa took Best Actress In A Leading Role (Local Language) award the same year at the GMA.

What separates them is their different target audience and perhaps their approach to acting. Kyeiwaa is publicly known for acting as an extremely quarrelsome person in movies.

Getting the two stars to feature in the same movie will go a long way to deepen the friendship ties industry holders want between English and Twi actors.

Last year, Agya Koo acted with Van Vicker after Lydia Forson did it with Katawere.

Actress Juliet Ibrahim Introduces Sister Sonia Into Acting

Sonia Ibrahim

Sonia Ibrahim, younger sister of star actress Juliet Ibrahim, is making a debut appearance in acting via her sister’s upcoming first produced movie.

Sources from the movie’s set told NEWS-ONE that Sonia didn’t do badly at all as she displayed some amazing acting skills.

She reportedly played the role of a lady who had been stalking her neighbour who later caused her arrested.

The beautiful lady is a model who speaks fluent French, Spanish and English. She started modeling some eleven years ago while at Chemu Senior High in Tema.

After high school and furthering her studies at the IPMC, and taking courses in airline ticketing and reservation, it was anticipated that she would give up her modeling dream.

She keenly followed in the footsteps of her sister Juliet who was also a model. She, together with Juliet, modeled for the Dolfins Modeling Agency. Later, they both moved on to model for Face One.

Though her actress sister said bye to modeling after stumbling into Ghana’s movie industry, Sonia still models.

She has modeled for Exopa Modeling Company and was one of the beautiful models who graced the runway during the first Exopa Fashion Weekend event which changed the face of modeling in Ghana.

She eventually became the face CFAO Tyres and Laurel Calendar.

In 2009, NEWS-ONE’s Francis Addo asked her if she would one day follow her sister into acting.

This was what she said: “Honestly, I am a crazy person. People look at me and say I am just natural, I should try my best and act. But I just don’t want to get there because I just want to act. I really want to take my time and see what people want, before I start acting. Besides I am waiting for my sister Juliet to start her own production, then I will start.”

She indeed waited four years to make that dream come true. It is yet to be confirmed if she will remain in the industry.
