Kofi Adjorlolo: From Aspiring Musician to Acting Icon

Veteran Ghanaian actor Kofi Adjorlolo recently revealed that his true passion growing up was actually music, not acting.

Adjorlolo explained that from a young age, many believed he was destined for a music career due to his inherent talent. His musical journey began at just eight years old when he started learning to play the trumpet.

This dedication eventually led him to perform alongside renowned musicians such as Gyedu Blay Ambolley and Sir Victor Uwaifo. “I love music so much that as of 8 years old, I could play the trumpet so well,” Kofi disclosed.

Despite achieving household name status as an actor, Adjorlolo voiced his significant frustrations with the current state of Ghana’s acting industry. He highlighted the lack of robust support systems and the absence of insurance as major hurdles for professionals in the field.

“Honestly, I wouldn’t encourage my children to go into acting,” he stated candidly. “The current situation in Ghana isn’t encouraging, attractive, or enabling for young ones to thrive in this field. Do we even have insurance to back our actors and actresses?”
