Speaker 1 (00:00):
Reggae family. Today we bring you a powerful voice and
vibrant spirit out of Ghana, West Africa. Yes, a true
cultural icon who's been blessing stages, airwaves and minds for decades.
He's a season broadcaster, two time Big Brother Africa housemate,
a multi genre artist, and a passionate advocate for African
reggae dancehall unity. With nearly thirty years of experience in radio,
(00:22):
television and freestyle artistry, Sammy Bee has rocked the mic
from Okra to Johannesburg and back again. His debut album,
Passing Through captured hearts across the diaspora, winning Record of
the Year at the Ghana Music Awards, and now with
his latest single Free Like a Bird featuring Moe Spence,
he continues to rise, breaking borders, building bridges and uplifting
(00:45):
African sound globally. He's got a master's in communication, a
heart full of rhythm and a soul made for liberation.
So Reggae our family, help me welcome the voice of versatility,
Ghana Zonne.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Sammy B Semi B.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
How do you doing this? Evening man? You've been in
the entertainment industry for almost three decades from like broadcasts
and the freestyle into songwriting. Man, what's the secret to
your longevity and creative evolution?
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Okay, so thank you so very much.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Now, over the years, I think what has kept me
relevant is the fact that I've been able to, you know,
adapt to all the changes and the fluidity of the
music reggae, dancehall and all that kind of genres that
I really admire and enjoy, because when the changes come
(01:38):
up in these genres, I would have to also do
my homework well and quickly adapt to these changes. The
most important thing that's always kept me also relevant over
these years is also the fact that I have been
an addent like student of you know, the foundation of
(01:59):
reggae music from scar throughout Mighty Diamonds, and it is
very vibration linkin Quis Johnson, Budi Branton, Lieutenant Titchy.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
General degree Paperson.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
You know, we listen to almost anything, ring the alarm
bo girl. We listen to everything you understand because then
it makes you also get to sip in or tap
into the style and talent of so many other you know,
foundation artists out there to be able to use that
(02:38):
to perfect and peculiarize your kind of style, you know,
so when when you are breast with the music both
old and new, you are able to like you know,
form some kind of strength in your delivery. And it's
very easy for you to also adapt to different style
and patterns, especially when it comes to in our case,
(03:00):
some of the freestyle.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
You know that we do.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
I think the other one is also every now and then,
to be able to come up with some music that
you know, the people love, you know, to be able
to do music that's relevant both to.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
The old and the new.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
And one thing that has also helped me in this
or on this journey, it's all the fact that you know,
I love what I do, so at any point in time,
I'm excited to pick up a new challenge and just
you know, work on it to.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Perfection.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
So basically that is what has kept me all these years.
I take music as creating some form of fun. It's
very easy to handle. It's something that I love and enjoy,
so I don't take it as work.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
I take it.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
As some passion and I am so very passionate about this.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
And it's definitely that passion and drive that makes this
a work of art instead of actual work. I feel
your neck.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
Make me had them? It about.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Your debut album, Passes.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Yeah, sure, my my my very first album, which is
was called passing Through one a song from the album
one Record of the Year, and and basically that album
contained some experiments that I wanted to make with music,
so it wasn't actually only reggae music. I also tried
(08:53):
some form of salsa, kind of you know Caribbean kind
of salsa with you know, with with with with with,
some form of downsall and some form of you know,
love lovers rock one drops you understand.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
So basically one regular of the yearn what message did
you worry across radio? How did it change your journey?
And reality shows? Which of those platforms has allowed you
to express your truth the most and why?
Speaker 4 (09:26):
Yeah, I've had the opportunity of being on several platforms
across you know, the continent. The most, the biggest one
and the most awesome is to have had a pleasure
of being a two time you know, housemate of a
Big Brother Africa. I think the very first one was
in two thousand and three and then in also the
(09:49):
Big Brother all starts in twenty ten. Okay, basically after
during an after a Big brother. I think what is
done is giving me the platform to tell Africa and
the whole world the kind of person I am that
I'm musically inclined and I'm able to spontaneously create some
(10:09):
kind of fun with music and also also a comic
kind of fellow. I love to also write music on
the funny side of you know, life. And so basically
people know me to be like somebody who cracks up
when there's a lot of tension, and somebody who always
wants to do music to make people happy. So it
(10:30):
comes to some of the songs that.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
I write about Pompey and all that kind of.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Subjects, always just to create excitement and make people see
the extent of my creativity.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Now, when it comes to balancing creativity with stability, it
isn't easy. How had your family or in a circle
helped you stay grounded through all the ups and the
downs of public life.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
Yeah, is very important in the sense that, you know,
I've seen so many other creative, you know, individuals who
have never had support from their family.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Mine is I think mine was a little bit hectic
from the stages, but was a little bit.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Easier when my family got to realize that you know,
doing this kind of business can also put food on
the table.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
So basically, when I.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
Started music, my mum actually thought that music wasn't what
any other responsible kind of child was supposed to do,
especially when you are just doing music, going around and
seeing and then sitting on radio always talking. But then
(11:52):
when the paychecks started coming in, I think that it
convinced my family a lot. I mean the most important
part of being able to, you know, stabilize in this
creative industry is also because of having the one that
is very close to you, like my wife, been very
(12:13):
understanding and being your number one critique of you know,
things that you come up with in the creative industry.
So sometimes you tell you, oh, this is that you
should rather do this, like this, or even helping you
put together contracts and understanding them and so basically, you know,
(12:35):
family has been supportive, you understand even though everyone knows
that these things also comes up, has it's ups and downs.
You know, they've always been around, whether down or whether
you're up. So I think I would comment them and
(12:57):
that's very important. It's been so very helpful when your
family understands you perfectly.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Yeah, I've always been a big advocate of family supporting
one another, but it seems like stranger seems to be
your biggest supporter, and.
Speaker 7 (13:18):
None telling me is passing through with I one lyric
Carl shot. It's calling million skills skill worry nowadays stands

Amilia skills and now this world makes me so different.
Speaker 7 (17:45):
When I stun in front of the boxes and I
play all my tune every single day I'm out with
is riding a Melia skin. Sammy's start to take what
the strifefully it's got us for it.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
It's been whoa what is this?
Speaker 7 (18:05):
Semi being the original MC at the club, I played
the children one and two to make you definitely the club.
The song is danceable for the younger, old, or even
in the club come up with come up with time
because you know just what's horse.
Speaker 6 (18:27):
My music can.
Speaker 12 (18:33):
Listen and see, don't tell me.
Speaker 9 (18:39):
How are you feed.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
As someone with a strong media presence and cultural voice,
how do you use your platform to uplift youth and
keep families connected through music and message.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
It's so very important to be able to give back,
you know, to the younger ones who are coming up,
especially those who want to follow in the same line
or the kind of business that will find ourselves in.
So basically the first way in being able to you know,
mentor them is to get them around, get to help
(19:40):
teach them, find solutions for problems that they are having
in the same industry if they would want to tow
the line.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
It's also.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
Very important to you know, sometimes select talk about issues
that will keep the youth in check. They understand and
talk about abuse, talk about not giving up, you know,
talk about you know, following your heart and doing what.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
You'd love so much.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
And also you know, using platforms like radio and television
to be able to you know, get access to the youth,
to encourage them to do their best, especially in the
disciplines that they've chosen for themselves. Also to encourage mothers
(20:36):
and parents out there to support you know, their youth
or children, especially when they choose this career that some
of us find ourselves in and let them know that
I mean, when it is done and done very well.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
It's very lucrative.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
So it's reaching out to them either like that or
even on social media and getting them to find I'll
have access to you.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
You owe a master's degree in communications in PR, something
I'm currently going to school for right now. How has
that academic side shaped the way that you move through
the music industry And what's some things that you can
tell me that can help me get ready for it?
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Communicator, I have a.
Speaker 4 (21:23):
Keen interest in you know, reaching out and public speaking,
and basically it's also helped me to be able to
do understand more the business side of you know, music,
and that's the most important if you ask any other
person around.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
It makes you, you know, be able to know the.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
Intricacies you know, how to deal with you know, music
in itself as a business, and so I think that's
the first one. Secondly, I think it also makes you
selective in knowing as what people want, in being able
to reach out to the public, especially from the peer
(22:06):
point of view, What do people want to listen to
now and how do they want it? What are some
of the topics that you would want to engage people?
Speaker 2 (22:17):
And so yeah, it.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
Helps tackle you know your genre, choice of words, topics
in the kind of music, and then basically also help
equip you to write scripts and skits. You understand, I mean,
if I'm not making music, I'm doing skits or writing
(22:39):
or telling stories. So basically you'd need to equip yourself.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Just like me.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
We know you love writing scripts and skits. If you
weren't making music with storytelling, be still your way of
connecting with the world.
Speaker 4 (22:59):
Storytelling be my way of connecting with the world.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Especially when I sit on radio.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
Everybody knows that I'm the one who is also always
going to tell a story and.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Make it.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
The thattic side of life and make it you know,
a lesson length after if we laugh about it. So basically,
storytelling is very very important because it also helps you
to connect and reach out to your target audience of
the US or.
Speaker 7 (23:29):
Listeners in the second place, and under the shadow of
the allies, I would say that is my refugeon my partners,
my God and who I trust, say.
Speaker 6 (23:52):
Lord, you having.
Speaker 13 (23:55):
To me.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
And now I won't know when I'm first off sloop.
Speaker 6 (24:04):
Oh, I wouldn't follow.
Speaker 9 (24:08):
Was that is what I love. I wouldn't follow you
anywhere that you.
Speaker 2 (24:16):

Speaker 10 (24:22):
You mean so good to me, oh my lad, And
I love anywhere that you go, anywhere that you go
when I was bun you heard me in your arm,
(24:47):
and you never took your eyes away from me.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
You d me when trouble.
Speaker 11 (24:55):
Came and gave me home to move by. If I
always been there, who never denied the fat, never.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Experience that feeling. Your truth never says a lie. The
master see come true.
Speaker 6 (25:16):
Because I'm a.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Happy that you're right behind me.
Speaker 11 (25:20):
Happiness that's all ruthecause.
Speaker 7 (25:23):
I'm my offense that you make me see, make me

Speaker 9 (25:29):
I won't follow you anywhere that you.
Speaker 6 (25:34):
I mean right by your side when I first go,

anyway that you go anywhere, don't you.

have no doubt that you saved me.
Speaker 6 (26:28):

behind the mic.

I spend time with family and I love watching documentaries.

Speaker 3 (30:22):
Now I want to take you on a global scale here.
There's a lot of suffering right now. We have wars, displacement, oppression.
What role do you believe music, especially reggae, plays in
comforting the people, in pushing change.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
Well, there's a lot going on around the world, and
you know, musicians and creatives need to play a part.
I mean, obviously to be able to change the narrative
and you know, start addressing some of these issues, and
you know, start talking about things that are affecting us
and start giving hope to those that are affected by
(31:01):
farming and those that are you know, just simply playing
bosses over others. And you know, we need to address
booking off as well. We need to address Mandy Africa
and all that is going on around the world. It's
about time we tend the narrative, start writing about some
of these things and then it will help a great deal,
you know.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
Basically, man, it was wonderful having this conversation with you
man from all the way over there to West Africa

(00:22):
television and freestyle artistry, Sammy Bee has rocked the mic

he continues to rise, breaking borders, building bridges and uplifting
(00:45):
African sound globally. He's got a master's in communication, a
heart full of rhythm and a soul made for liberation.
So Reggae our family, help me welcome the voice of versatility,
Ghana Zonne.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Sammy B Semi B.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
How do you doing this? Evening man? You've been in
the entertainment industry for almost three decades from like broadcasts
and the freestyle into songwriting. Man, what's the secret to
your longevity and creative evolution?
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Okay, so thank you so very much.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Now, over the years, I think what has kept me
relevant is the fact that I've been able to, you know,
adapt to all the changes and the fluidity of the
music reggae, dancehall and all that kind of genres that
I really admire and enjoy, because when the changes come
(01:38):
up in these genres, I would have to also do
my homework well and quickly adapt to these changes. The
most important thing that's always kept me also relevant over
these years is also the fact that I have been
an addent like student of you know, the foundation of
(01:59):
reggae music from scar throughout Mighty Diamonds, and it is
very vibration linkin Quis Johnson, Budi Branton, Lieutenant Titchy.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
General degree Paperson.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
You know, we listen to almost anything, ring the alarm
bo girl. We listen to everything you understand because then
it makes you also get to sip in or tap
into the style and talent of so many other you know,
foundation artists out there to be able to use that
(02:38):
to perfect and peculiarize your kind of style, you know,
so when when you are breast with the music both
old and new, you are able to like you know,
form some kind of strength in your delivery. And it's
very easy for you to also adapt to different style
and patterns, especially when it comes to in our case,
(03:00):
some of the freestyle.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
You know that we do.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
I think the other one is also every now and then,
to be able to come up with some music that
you know, the people love, you know, to be able
to do music that's relevant both to.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
The old and the new.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
And one thing that has also helped me in this
or on this journey, it's all the fact that you know,
I love what I do, so at any point in time,
I'm excited to pick up a new challenge and just
you know, work on it to.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Perfection.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
So basically that is what has kept me all these years.
I take music as creating some form of fun. It's
very easy to handle. It's something that I love and enjoy,
so I don't take it as work.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
I take it.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
As some passion and I am so very passionate about this.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
And it's definitely that passion and drive that makes this
a work of art instead of actual work. I feel
your neck.
Speaker 5 (04:02):
It's all abody, get up now, I know.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
How about you.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
Make me had them? It about.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Your debut album, Passes.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Yeah, sure, my my my very first album, which is
was called passing Through one a song from the album
one Record of the Year, and and basically that album
contained some experiments that I wanted to make with music,
so it wasn't actually only reggae music. I also tried
(08:53):
some form of salsa, kind of you know Caribbean kind
of salsa with you know, with with with with with,
some form of downsall and some form of you know,
love lovers rock one drops you understand.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
So basically one regular of the yearn what message did
you worry across radio? How did it change your journey?
And reality shows? Which of those platforms has allowed you
to express your truth the most and why?
Speaker 4 (09:26):
Yeah, I've had the opportunity of being on several platforms
across you know, the continent. The most, the biggest one
and the most awesome is to have had a pleasure
of being a two time you know, housemate of a
Big Brother Africa. I think the very first one was
in two thousand and three and then in also the
(09:49):
Big Brother all starts in twenty ten. Okay, basically after
during an after a Big brother. I think what is
done is giving me the platform to tell Africa and
the whole world the kind of person I am that
I'm musically inclined and I'm able to spontaneously create some
(10:09):
kind of fun with music and also also a comic
kind of fellow. I love to also write music on
the funny side of you know, life. And so basically
people know me to be like somebody who cracks up
when there's a lot of tension, and somebody who always
wants to do music to make people happy. So it
(10:30):
comes to some of the songs that.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
I write about Pompey and all that kind of.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Subjects, always just to create excitement and make people see
the extent of my creativity.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Now, when it comes to balancing creativity with stability, it
isn't easy. How had your family or in a circle
helped you stay grounded through all the ups and the
downs of public life.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
Yeah, is very important in the sense that, you know,
I've seen so many other creative, you know, individuals who
have never had support from their family.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Mine is I think mine was a little bit hectic
from the stages, but was a little bit.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Easier when my family got to realize that you know,
doing this kind of business can also put food on
the table.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
So basically, when I.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
Started music, my mum actually thought that music wasn't what
any other responsible kind of child was supposed to do,
especially when you are just doing music, going around and
seeing and then sitting on radio always talking. But then
(11:52):
when the paychecks started coming in, I think that it
convinced my family a lot. I mean the most important
part of being able to, you know, stabilize in this
creative industry is also because of having the one that
is very close to you, like my wife, been very
(12:13):
understanding and being your number one critique of you know,
things that you come up with in the creative industry.
So sometimes you tell you, oh, this is that you
should rather do this, like this, or even helping you
put together contracts and understanding them and so basically, you know,
(12:35):
family has been supportive, you understand even though everyone knows
that these things also comes up, has it's ups and downs.
You know, they've always been around, whether down or whether
you're up. So I think I would comment them and
(12:57):
that's very important. It's been so very helpful when your
family understands you perfectly.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Yeah, I've always been a big advocate of family supporting
one another, but it seems like stranger seems to be
your biggest supporter, and.
Speaker 7 (13:18):
None telling me is passing through with I one lyric
Carl shot. It's calling million skills skill worry nowadays stands
(13:41):
a last heart and everyone needs to pull love them
skills and he will shoot.
Speaker 2 (13:47):

Speaker 9 (17:41):
Amilia skills and now this world makes me so different.
Speaker 7 (17:45):
When I stun in front of the boxes and I
play all my tune every single day I'm out with
is riding a Melia skin. Sammy's start to take what
the strifefully it's got us for it.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
It's been whoa what is this?
Speaker 7 (18:05):
Semi being the original MC at the club, I played
the children one and two to make you definitely the club.
The song is danceable for the younger, old, or even
in the club come up with come up with time
because you know just what's horse.
Speaker 6 (18:27):
My music can.
Speaker 12 (18:33):
Listen and see, don't tell me.
Speaker 9 (18:39):
How are you feed.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
As someone with a strong media presence and cultural voice,
how do you use your platform to uplift youth and
keep families connected through music and message.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
It's so very important to be able to give back,
you know, to the younger ones who are coming up,
especially those who want to follow in the same line
or the kind of business that will find ourselves in.
So basically the first way in being able to you know,
mentor them is to get them around, get to help
(19:40):
teach them, find solutions for problems that they are having
in the same industry if they would want to tow
the line.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
It's also.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
Very important to you know, sometimes select talk about issues
that will keep the youth in check. They understand and
talk about abuse, talk about not giving up, you know,
talk about you know, following your heart and doing what.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
You'd love so much.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
And also you know, using platforms like radio and television
to be able to you know, get access to the youth,
to encourage them to do their best, especially in the
disciplines that they've chosen for themselves. Also to encourage mothers
(20:36):
and parents out there to support you know, their youth
or children, especially when they choose this career that some
of us find ourselves in and let them know that
I mean, when it is done and done very well.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
It's very lucrative.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
So it's reaching out to them either like that or
even on social media and getting them to find I'll
have access to you.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
You owe a master's degree in communications in PR, something
I'm currently going to school for right now. How has
that academic side shaped the way that you move through
the music industry And what's some things that you can
tell me that can help me get ready for it?
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Communicator, I have a.
Speaker 4 (21:23):
Keen interest in you know, reaching out and public speaking,
and basically it's also helped me to be able to
do understand more the business side of you know, music,
and that's the most important if you ask any other
person around.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
It makes you, you know, be able to know the.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
Intricacies you know, how to deal with you know, music
in itself as a business, and so I think that's
the first one. Secondly, I think it also makes you
selective in knowing as what people want, in being able
to reach out to the public, especially from the peer
(22:06):
point of view, What do people want to listen to
now and how do they want it? What are some
of the topics that you would want to engage people?
Speaker 2 (22:17):
And so yeah, it.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
Helps tackle you know your genre, choice of words, topics
in the kind of music, and then basically also help
equip you to write scripts and skits. You understand, I mean,
if I'm not making music, I'm doing skits or writing
(22:39):
or telling stories. So basically you'd need to equip yourself.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Just like me.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
We know you love writing scripts and skits. If you
weren't making music with storytelling, be still your way of
connecting with the world.
Speaker 4 (22:59):
Storytelling be my way of connecting with the world.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Especially when I sit on radio.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
Everybody knows that I'm the one who is also always
going to tell a story and.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Make it.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
The thattic side of life and make it you know,
a lesson length after if we laugh about it. So basically,
storytelling is very very important because it also helps you
to connect and reach out to your target audience of
the US or.

There's a lot of suffering right now. We have wars, displacement, oppression.
What role do you believe music, especially reggae, plays in
comforting the people, in pushing change.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
Well, there's a lot going on around the world, and
you know, musicians and creatives need to play a part.
I mean, obviously to be able to change the narrative
and you know, start addressing some of these issues, and
you know, start talking about things that are affecting us
and start giving hope to those that are affected by
(31:01):
farming and those that are you know, just simply playing
bosses over others. And you know, we need to address
booking off as well. We need to address Mandy Africa
and all that is going on around the world. It's
about time we tend the narrative, start writing about some
of these things and then it will help a great deal,
you know.
