Big Shade makes Ghana proud in China
For decades, the Republic of China has been renowned as the manufacturing capital of the world.
Synonymous with high volume production, almost everything is ‘made in China’. Now, thanks to the hard work, determination and business savvy of Ghanaian born, Philip Arthur, affectionately called Big Shade, China can boast that it produces high quality entertainment.
According to president of Zero Gravity Entertainment, Big Shade, “the main aim for the activities he put together in China is to connect expats all over China through entertainment.”
Based in the city of Ningbo, his company started small but has been able to grow rapidly within the past year.
He reveals that “we started by occasionally planning parties and events. Now, we work hand in hand with a number of bars and restaurants and host weekly events, that cater for both expats and citizens.”
He tells this paper that the events have drawn big crowds and attracted interest of reputable brands with rooftop events at the Westin Hotel, and has secured partnerships with big names, such as Corona, Jaegermeister, bars like MBar and MMP among others.
He has further noted that Zero Gravity Entertainment has loaned its event planning expertise to programmes in other cities of China, like Hangzhou Shanghai and others.
Asked about the future, Big Shade is confident that bigger events and collaborations are on the horizon, “we want to expand beyond China, we are open to working with other entertainment houses across the world, be it artists tours or brand activation, Zero Gravity Entertainment can do it.”
Ghana’s singing Prophet, Joseph Atarah, has released a video for his new song dubbed ‘Increase’. The video was directed and shot by renowned director, Sky Web.
The motivational video exhibits captivating dance moves, set against the vibrant and beautiful city of Accra. Prophet Atarah co-wrote the song with Nana Boateng.
Touching on the message during an interview on Hitz FM’s Daybreak Hitz, he said, ‘Increase’ is a motivational song telling people not to give up in their present situation. According to him, with determination and a relentless desire to succeed, God will make everything beautiful.
“As you trust in God’s plan, remember that ‘INCREASE’ is on the way. Just as seeds grow into harvest, your faith is growing into abundance. God’s got you, and His increase is surrounding you,” he added.
Prophet Atarah resigned from the military band in 2006 after an encounter with God to start his prophetic ministry and commenced his music journey about four years ago.

Fast-rising Ghanaian gospel musician, Rama Antwi, is set to take over the world as she releases her much-awaited single dubbed, ‘Wakae Me’. The song carries a thanksgiving message to show gratitude to God for life-changing miracles.
Speaking to The Spectator Agoro, she said the song is a testimony of her journey in the music industry, from her basic school days to TV3 Mentor and her current situation. According to her, no matter what people are going through, the Lord will remember them, adding that all they need is to pray and not relent.
She said there are times in one’s life that challenges make people forget that God is in charge. Rama said, “The situation makes it difficult for you to even believe God could change the situation for you. This song is to let you know that whatever is happening, a day will come for you to smile.”
“When the time comes, your miracle will happen to your amazement; those who used to mock you will be the same people to praise you,” Rama Antwi added.
According to her, she has seen that testimony in her life, adding that it is why she was offering thanksgiving through the song.
Rama Antwi appealed to everyone, including various industry players, to support the song to reach the intended audience.
The video, which was directed and shot by Sky Web, and the song, produced by Shadrack Yawson, is available on all digital stores.
