Sound engineering in recent era has gained more value. Any good musician now depends on a good sound engineer for quality sound for his music.

A lot of names have been heard and one of such is Andrews Kofi Adu Appiah-Kubi aka “AKAAK”, who has also added his voice to the mass.

AKAAK becoming a sound engineer to him is wonderful because he is a musician and a dancer when he was young.

In 1998-99 he went to C.D.S recording studio located at North Kaneshie to record his album. After the recording he found many things wrong with the rhythm so he decided to learn and do everything all by himself.

Although he was a computer illiterate he never gave up. He visited a friend in an internet café and asked him to teach him create an e-mail address so after he became familiar with the computer, he learned so many things on his own without guidance from anybody.

He joined the music school in his church - The Seventh Day Adventist and there he was taught how to write music, arrange, teach others and in general everything about music.

After that he had the opportunity of working for H. Royals studio when the engineer there had to travel abroad.

He worked there for a couple of months and when the man in charge came back, he still worked there in the night whilst the main man did his own thing in the day.

He decided to open a recording studio with his friend Seth Amo Aforo called the Celestial Midi Tones.

There he worked with Isaiah Kwadwo Ampong and the steps to Christ where they recorded the “Hosanna”
