Ghanaian reggae-dancehall artiste Stonebwoy has revealed that he was still a senior high school student when the classic song Aso by Kwabena Kwabena first came out.
In a recent conversation about how the song impacted younger musicians in Ghana, Stonebwoy explained that he was in senior high school (SHS) at the time Aso dropped, highlighting how the hit from an earlier generation helped shape his view of Ghanaian music. This reflection has resonated with fans who grew up listening to the song and followed Stonebwoy’s rise in the music industry.
Stonebwoy’s comments come at a time when Aso remains celebrated as one of Ghana’s most memorable highlife love anthems, originally released by Kwabena Kwabena and widely loved across generations. Many emerging artists today still credit the song for inspiring them creatively.
The dancehall star has continued to build a strong career since his school days, becoming known internationally and winning awards including Best International Act at the BET Awards. He began making music early and saw his talents develop while in secondary school, later pursuing music full time and rising to become one of Ghana’s most successful performers.
Stonebwoy’s career now spans global tours and major collaborations, and his reflections on Aso show the lasting influence classic Ghanaian songs still have on new generations of artists. Many fans and followers took to social media to share their own memories of the song and how it connected with them during their school years.
