Noble Nketsiah has revealed in a fresh interview shared on some entertainment news outlets that his senior colleague Esther Smith discovered and put him in the spotlight while he was selling second-hand clothing after completing secondary school.
The Yesu Do hitmaker recounted how Esther was captivated by his voice as she passed by his second-hand business location and invited him to accompany her to the studio for a recording session on the spot.
Sharing this information with actress and TV personality Emelia Brobbey on the Okukuseku show, Noble Nketsiah said;
“When I completed secondary school, I had a bad relationship with my mother because she wanted me to further my education and become a doctor.
“I was very intelligent, so she didn’t understand why I didn’t want to go back to school. Also, my songs reminded her of the issues she had with my dad, so she was trying to stop me from singing.”
“I used to sell secondhand clothes. I had siblings who were also in school, and if my mother sacrificed to take care of me, the least I could do was sell to support her in taking care of the family,” he said.
He said as he was getting ready to start his day’s work, Esther Smith, a former neighbour, was drawn to his voice and suggested they go to the studio to record some songs.
Unexpectedly, one of the songs he recorded caught someone’s attention, leading to a breakthrough in his career.
“I lived in the same estate as Esther Smith and Morris Babyface. One morning, as I was preparing to go and sell my secondhand clothes, Esther Smith passed by and heard me singing. She was amazed by my voice and asked me to follow her to the studio.
“We recorded a few songs. Not knowing it, the songs we recorded were liked by someone, who paid me a huge sum of money, and that’s how my career started.”
