In his first radio interview at Kumasi on Akoma Fm, the host of the Drive show ‘Tony Best’ asked why Gidochi’s music sounds very different and foreign despite the use of native language. 

In response to that, the X’tra X’tra Love ((XX L) singer explained that the local genre of music will always remain special because it resonates with the natives. 
However, he believes that irrespective of the genre, music add immense value to people’s lives, so there is the need for music to transcend across the globe. So even though he is locally based and does Afro-soul and other afro-related music, his choice of sound is for global consumption. 
This he believes will give the opportunity to people in other parts of the world to appreciate his unique type of Afro-music . 

Listeners who called into the show also praised Gidochi for his melodious  voice and urged him to keep up with his current sound and approach to music content.

Gidochi is expected to complete his Kumasi  media tour on Saturday January 30th, 2021.

The ‘Mixed Feelings’ EP is available for streaming on all digital stores.

In May 2020 Nescafé Group through its ‘Nescafé One Song challenge’ made effort to help spread the message of positivity; an attempt to also ease the state of tension resulting from the coronavirus crisis.

By this, contestants from six different countries (Ghana, Senegal, Burkina Faso, Cote d’Ivoire, Cameroun & Nigeria) were asked to create inspirational lyrics individually, to inspire hope and connect with the spirit of Africa, which would later be composed into one single inspirational song.

At the end of the contest in June 2020, Gidochi beat over 5000 contestants from Ghana and emerged as the winner, alongside Fayamide of Nigeria, Ndongo (Senegal), Black Dany (Burkina Faso), Ozane (Cote d’Ivoire). Stella, the only female amongst the other rising stars (winners ) represented Cameroun.

Gidochi, undoubtedly one of the best and unique male vocalists in Ghana now, together with the other five winners who won cash price of $3000 each were also featured in the New music video which portrayed an inspiring story of how a young and struggling African artist persevered to secure a recording deal with a renowned record label.

Despite the applauding performances from all the representatives, the outstanding lyrics came from Gidochi. With his soulful voice, he preached perseverance & resilience in all situations.
Like a great teacher, Gidochi voiced “…. Play your part and Own your turf. That’s the only way you’ll be unstoppable “
