Coming from far
Born and raised in one of Ghana’s big ghetto’s, many people might have thought Friction wouldn’t make it far in life. With his talent to perform and his characteristic music style -a mix of reggae, afropop and hiplife- Friction has come far and has proven the doubters really wrong.
And he is not stopping there. Friction is always working hard to open more doors. This show as support act of Morgan Heritage is a great sign of a promising future.
