Ras Nana Shares His Journey from Music to Freight Forwarding on SVTV Africa
Ras Nana, formerly part of the Ghanaian music duo Vibz with his partner Piesie, recently appeared on SVTV Africa’s Daily Hustle Worldwide Show with DJ Nyaami to share his life journey and experiences.
According to Ras Nana, he hasn’t entirely quit music, but his passion and energy toward it have reduced over time. He still maintains communication with his former music partner, Piesie, but has shifted his focus to freight forwarding.
“I now work with my father in the clearing and forwarding business. Back then, I had no family responsibilities, so I could focus fully on music. But now, I have a wife and children, and I have to provide for them,” he explained.
Ras Nana believes that traveling abroad is not as easy or necessary as it used to be. He emphasized that success can be achieved anywhere with hard work and focus.
“I won’t sell my property just to travel abroad. You can make it anywhere. If you’ve been friends with someone for a whole year and haven’t talked about progress, it’s time to find new friends who inspire you,” he advised.
“There’s money in farming. Some people spend all day on their phones instead of looking for opportunities.”
Reflecting on his music career, Ras Nana shared that although he has been away from music for about six to seven years, he plans to return as a solo artist and not as part of a group.
“The musical spirit is still in me, but the energy has dropped because I now have family responsibilities. Getting a hit song isn’t difficult, but maintaining consistency is the real challenge,” he said.
Currently, Ras Nana is deeply involved in the import and export business, working under his father’s clearing agency.
“My father used this business to take care of all of us. Clearing has its delays, but if you work honestly and build trust, you’ll attract more clients,” he said.
He also used the opportunity to encourage the youth to stay focused, plan ahead, and acquire skills that can help them both locally and abroad.
“Many Ghanaians don’t think long-term. If you have the chance to travel, learn a trade like plumbing, mechanics, forklift operation, or truck driving before you go—it will help you find better opportunities abroad. Avoid shortcuts because they lead to trouble,” he cautioned.
Ras Nana concluded by urging young people to choose their friends wisely.
“Changing your circle of friends can change your life. Some people will ruin your future if you keep following them aimlessly,” he advised.
