As a young boy living in Mpraeso, he was exposed to live band music on the streets every other weekend and at times at funerals. All these honed his passion for music. He started beat boxing and drawing crowds, which would pay to listen to the wonderful beats he made with his mouth.
According to Nana, he realized that he wanted to be a recording artist when he first learned how to record on cassette players, “I just used to love how my voice sounded on there.” However, it wasn’t until 2003, that he had his first stage performance at the Miss Ghana New York pageant at Herbert H. Lehman College. This opened more doors and made him visible to Ghanaians living in New York. As a means of marketing himself, he was advised to create an artist page on MySpace. When creating his page, he realized that the name Nana was already taken so he added NYC because he was in New York City.
