Why I was nicknamed ‘Tinny’ at Mfantsipim – Perez Musik recounts

Perez Musik, formerly known as "Tinny," recounted his journey from a budding musician at Mfantsipim School to a renowned artiste. Born with a passion for music, he was dubbed "Tinny" by his peers for his Ga rap talent. Even before his time at Mfantsipim, Perez had already recorded a demo album, which caught the attention of a senior student and eventually his senior, Angel, who was managing Sarkodie at that time.

Upon his arrival at Mfantsipim, Perez's demo CD was discovered by another senior, who took him to Angel. Impressed by Perez's work, Angel made him perform at the first entertainment event in school, propelling his popularity at the school.

Despite his love for music, Perez faced challenges in the education system. He initially considered General Arts, which offered music, but found the subject dull and left after a short time. Later, he enrolled in the technical programme, studying subjects such as mathematics, physics, building construction, and building drawing. While he enjoyed building construction, music remained his true passion.
