Choirmaster (musician)
Ghanaian musician (born 1982)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eugene Baah, better known by his stage name Choirmaster (born 26 July 1982) is a Ghanaian hip life/afropop singer-songwriter, record producer and entrepreneur. He became widely known as the leader of the defunct hiplife group Praye before going solo. He has earned numerous awards and additional nominations.[2][3][4]
Career
He joined forces with two other acts, Steven Fiawoo (Praye Tietia) and Nana Kwame (Praye Tenten) to form the music trio, Praye.[2] Their first taste of success came when they won the maiden edition of the Nescafe African Revelation.[5] The group went on to win some prominent awards including the Best Group in West Africa at the Kora Awards in 2005.[6] But the family of Praye died when after ten years, the group split to pursue solo interests[7] and that split birthed a new artiste, Choirmaster.[8]
His debut song, "Ghana's Most Beautiful", became the theme song of a popular beauty pageant show, TV3 Ghana's Most Beautiful,[9] which gave him the recognition he needed to rebrand his career as a solo artiste.[10] Some of his known songs are "Pull Him Down" which was nominated for Best Hiplife Video of the Year during THE 2014 4Syte Music Video Awards,[11][12] "Obsession",[13] "Last Born" ft Black Rasta.[14]
Personal life
Choirmaster was married to Ghanaian actress Beverly Afaglo[15][16] who passed away on the 24th of May, 2026.
