Nana’s greatest influences are her late father and Lauren Hill, her hero.

Reminiscing about her childhood, in an interview with Fluent, she narrated; “Our household was a lot of fun, I grew up with my older brother and sister. We used to watch a lot of movies together. It was Sister Act all day, every day. Our parents weren’t very strict on us. They motivated us a lot to explore our talents and interests, also the reason none of us really did any crazy excessive things growing up.

“By the age of 10 or 11, we started going to church. We’re not the traditional Ghanaian household where families go to church from an early age. Music was always present at our household. My dad was a very good singer and passed that on to me and my siblings. We’d sing a lot and write songs together. My mom was the only one who doesn’t know how to sing [laughs], but she was the best audience and always our #1 fan. “

Where is she based?

In an interview, Nana disclosed, “I live in Rotterdam, but usually go back and forth to the UK.”
