Bice Osei Kuffour , known professionally as Obour, pronounced OBOUR, is a Ghanaian hiplife singer,songwriter,humanitarian,who emerged on the music scene in West Africa in the late 1990s.Born and raised in Ghana,West Africa, Obour was an adventurous,daring, and untouchable young man.
Of his seven sibblings, all his sisters and even his mother sung in the church.
At six, he played most of the drums especially the Atumpan in the Juaso-Ashanti Akyem chief’s palace where his father used to preside over before accepting Christ. According to him, that inspired him a lot, lyrically.
EDUCATION
Right from his basic education days at the State Experimental School (Kumasi) through to the Soul Clinic School (Accra), Garrisson Junior Secondary School (Burma Camp) and Mfantsipim School, Obour never joked with his studies.
As the first hip-life artist to reach his level at university, smart-headed Obour combined his tertiary education with music very effectively.Any time he had to substitute a few lectures for a major concert or international shows, he always made special arrangement with TAs (Teaching Assistants) to help him catch up.
MUSIC
Just after his secondary school, Obour solicited help from his London-based cousin, J. Amano, an important person in his music career who hooked him up to his personal Soul Records label.
