"I crafted many of my timeless tunes right here in Ghana, during my university stint, before venturing to the UK. These compositions later soared to prominence," he revealed.

Beyond melodies, Brako turned the spotlight on societal quandaries, lamenting the marginalization of the creative sector and condemning the scourge of illegal mining (galamsey).

In his critique, he shed light on the grassroots resilience fostered by traditional leaders, advocating for governmental acknowledgment of their pivotal support structures.

His impassioned plea resonated deeply, galvanizing young listeners to pursue their aspirations while championing cultural heritage and grassroots empowerment.
