Fotocopy talks about collaboration with Shatta Wale and upcoming schools tour

Eight-year-old Kallai Nana Qwaachi, affectionately called Fotocopy has revealed the rational behind his new song School Dey Be which featured Shatta Wale.

The young boy says the song is to throw light on the importance of education and admonishes every child to go to school.

“In the song, I am telling a story of the importance of education, and why every child needs to be in school,” he said.

According to him, he wants children to know that education is the key to success, “without it, you can’t read and write”, and that he would embark on an educational tour to drum home the importance of education.

“As part of the school tour, I will donate books, pay school fees, and feeding for children who are not in school as a result of these challenges,” he said.

Touching on his collaboration with Shatta Wale on the School Dey Be song, he said Shatta Wale surprisingly reached out to his team that he would love to work with him.

Against this backdrop, he expressed his appreciation to Shatta Wale for the gesture and support.
