He Joined music groups in different colours, and the main band that took him across many countries abroad is a Ghanaian cultural and highlife music band called Adesa, where he was a dancer and a singer.

Na Asa acquired experience in the local dances which created an access to the beauty of his rhythms and his magic voice. He released his first solo music album entitled 'Gyemedi-Believe Me,' an Afro R&B and Highlife soul in the 90s in Ghana, and released an album titled, 'Ketse' in 2000.
