Atimbila Launches Debut Studio Album “Destiny”

Atimbila has previously recorded hit singles with the likes of Sarkodie, Ruff and Smooth, Strongman, Keche, among others.

The album launch comes after Atimbila inked a deal with Koby Maxwell Productions, a US-based recording and management company that is home to movies and music.

Atimbila’s debut, Destiny, is a draft mixture of tradition and modernity producing aesthetic, fusing electronic beats with his gravelly voice – a trademark of his home region, Bolgatanga.
