Veteran Ghanaian actor Kofi Adjorlolo has revealed that acting was never his first dream; music was.
In a candid interview on The Liz Show, Adjorlolo shared that many people expected him to pursue a career in music due to his remarkable talent from an early age. “I love music so much that by age eight, I was already playing the trumpet impressively,” he said.
His passion led him to perform with musical icons such as Gyedu Blay Ambolley and Sir Victor Uwaifo, further deepening his roots in music.
Despite his fame as an actor, Adjorlolo expressed disappointment with the state of Ghana’s film industry. He noted the lack of essential structures like insurance and financial security for industry professionals.
“Honestly, I wouldn’t encourage my children to go into acting,” he said. “The current situation in Ghana isn’t encouraging, attractive, or enabling for young ones to thrive in this field. Do we even have insurance to back our actors and actresses?”
Adjorlolo’s remarks highlight the broader issues facing Ghana’s creative arts sector and the need for reforms to protect and support industry players.
