Demigod, Charles Kwadwo Fosu known in the Showbiz space as Daddy Lumba has opened up that his first girlfriend, Theresa Abebrese who he met in school hugely supported his trip to Germany in search of greener pastures.

According to the iconic Ghanaian musical artiste who won the ultimate artiste of the year at the first edition of Ghana Music Award, life became difficult after he completed senior secondary school in 1985, though his supportive mother was alive but he was unsure of his future but with the help of her first girlfriend, he was able to travel to Germany.
“I was at home one day, after I had completed school and Theresa came to visit me, and she asked what I wanted do in future now that I’m done with school. She advised that since my dad has passed on and mum is single parenting going to the university will be a struggle so it was better if I relocate to Germany,” the iconic musician shared
Aside his brilliance in school, he was also known as a good singer because he was a leading member of the school choir. When he got to Germany, he met Ghanaian prolific highlife songwriter singer and performer, Nana Ernest Owoahene Acheampong who introduced him to the making of highlife music.
