Born Anagho Denroy Etamo to Daniel and Jane Anagho on 14-01-94
second of 4 children, Dratzy grew up in BDA City, Cameroon.He attended the best of
schools in the country, building an excellent academic profile which is
the foundation of his poetic and inspirational lyrics. Got interested in
music way back at only 7 of age. His early music exposure was mostly pop
culture but destiny led him into the realm of hip-hop. Started composing
at 13 while in Sacred Heart College Mankon and consequently sought to
articulate his emotions, thoughts, visions, ambitions and ideas in a rhyme
and rhythm fashion. Succeeded to gain local popularity around town but in a quest for
greatness by optimizing his potentials and harnessing his brainpower, he
decided to step up his love for music from a hobby to a pro eventhough his studies still occupy first-place.In September
2010, he dropped his debut album; “My Philosophy” directed by
D-Pres an produced by the big up studio, Emcee 22 Recordz. However this did not go so good with its marketing, though making it big in the local market. The big one has however landed; "Opt For The Optimum", his second studio project
which he hopes captures an international audience and spreads his fan
base. The album was launched sometime this October 2012 an has already gone far and wide, making headlines all over the globe, thanks to the internet and its vast means of publicity. A multitalented dandy,Dratzy is an excellent soccer player with an
air of chic that is an authentic blend of trends.An
extrovert, jovial, funny, inquisitive and a good talker, he is perfect
company with a therapeutic gift of choosing the right words to
console,comfort and motivate.His other hobbies include; reading the
Bible, partying, surfing the net and networking-meeting and making new
friends.He is set to obtain his undergraduate degree in Economics at the
Catholic University of Cameroon where he is presently studying.With
such talent,determination and optimism,nothing can deter his prospects
of an auspicious future……Become a fan by liking his Facebook Page

'' Thanks a lot for the opportunity, I am grateful. I will just tell you a little bit about myself and my motivations.
I
have always loved music growing up and as I grew older, I realized I
actually had the talent to create music. It was just about finding the
right circumstances in which to flourish. I believe I have now found
that at Franco Records where there is a team willing to work with me in
order for us to make beautiful music together. We are at the start of a
wonderful project and I am really looking forward to the day when I can
turn the radio on and hear my song playing.
My
music is intended for all audiences regardless of age or race. It is
the kind of music that allows listeners to forget their troubles and
feel good living in the moment. This shall be the mantra throughout all
the songs I create. I do intend to fully experiment with many genres of
music and to keep pushing on to discover the boundaries of my
creativity.
Concerning
access, I shall be using all forms of digital media to get my music
across. I have a Facebook artist page, Supaval, and a Twitter account,
@supavall. Audiences can also listen to my songs and buy my music at
either reverbnation.com or myspace.com. There are some other websites
and music outlets I am currently considering, and I will put the word
out once those are finalized".
His tracks keep winning attention as everyone wants to listen to "Promises", "Supa Girl", "Jehovah Leh", "I dey for you girl''. Marriage train'', "Single ladies dance" etc...more stuff coming up for you all. Cameroon oyeee!!!

SHIFTY B |
Shifty B, that's how every one knows him. But his mom and dad will take Kimeng Boris. This guy has some real shit stored up in his brain and just needs a pen, paper and an M.I.C to make you feel his own kind of world. Rap is his stuff. He does it from Busta style to Eminem and then the Lil Wayne way. Shifty dropped it in his debut single of "SOS; Shifty Outta Sight". That track is breath taking and will never be outdated, mark my words!!! He still doing his thing in music but not letting go his bigger one of MCing. Yeah, doing it in boogies and all you can think of.

HOW TO SUCCEED WITH MUSIC IN CAMEROON
Many Cameroonians have that ambition in the music industry-to make it big. However this industry in Cameroon still faces alot of difficulties as succeeding in it is not as easy as elsewhere. Many problems are being faced by most Cameroonian artist especially when it comes to the phase of marketing their products. However this is unlike in the past where artists in Cameroon made it big in their careers. The reasons are evident,
First of all there is no very big ready market to consume most of the Cameroonian musics. Cameroon has a population of about 20 million people. This is so small compared to countries such as Nigeria. Added to that, the little market we have rather falls in for music coming from other countries as Nigeria, Ghana and the Western world and neglect or minimize their own home made musics.
Another aspect is the advent of mordern technology. This is what has brought about piracy and all of that. Now all one needs to do is get a CD and copy the files on his PC, he has a whole album which costs about 5000 frs.
But then, the issue now is not just identifying some of these plagues , but trying to see the solutions to our artists. Well as for me, I fell all we need to do is adapt if nothing can be changed.
To make it, use this method: Do a good hit track which you are very confident of. Do a video of it. Try to make it played on almost if not all the radio and TV stations you can ever think of. Once this track and video is good, you start getting famous. People start hearing about your song without even knowing you. The next thing is that they start wanting to know you. Once it has reached this level, begin organizing shows, accepting invitations to performances etc. Just very soon, you will have big performances through concerts organised by large firms as MTN, ORANGE, GUINNESS etc. Once this has happened, then know that you are a successful Cameroonian artist. Let's see some examples in Cameroon;
-X-Maleya
- Lady Ponce
- Jovi (Don for kwat)
- Charlotte Dipanda
- Adah (Nyango)
- Ice Eric
ETC
You realize that all of these artists have an album, yet it was only one track in that album which they saw to be a hit track and publicized it widely so much so that they are so famous today. This in a bit is how I feel Cameroonian artists should do in order to succeed in their career.

SHE'S RENISE AND SHE REIGNS
Yeah, pretty girl and awesome music. Renise is one of the few Cameroonian artists who has embrassed culture and gospel in a blend with mordern music. Renise, a girl from Mankon village in th e Nprth West Region of Cameroon works with MUMAK RECORDS in Yaounde and has come up with great songs such as the striking ''Hply Wata" thich will not let people set their eyes off their screens each time it comes up. Her humble, friendly and ever smiling nature has made her fans proud of her even out of her records. She has only begun, yet everyone falls for her style. Her dressing and chorography in music is just what has never been before. English, pidgin english; french and mankon dialect are her frequent languages of expression. This makes it a superb blend as everyone in Cameroon and beyond will get her message. Renise still has a long way to go and needs you support. Cameroon people, join hands and support our rising star and our future hope. Join renise on facebook and twitter at;
