I think about two years ago, I used to wear dresses I sewed myself during my stage performances. With the assistance of my mum, I sewed most of my VGMA red carpet dresses. I used to sew almost every dress I wore to special occasions. In my posts on Instagram, I acknowledge myself when I wear the dresses I make.” She said in an interview with Kasapa FM’s Kojo Preko Dankwah on Kasapa Entertainment.

“My mum is a Fante and my dad is a South African. Last year I went to South Africa and I was asked to perform. It wasn’t really a show but it was somewhat like performing to viewers of a television morning show. A TV station called ETV. They made me sing from Let Me Go to about four songs. And I also performed Too Late on the other show.” She said.

Adina disclosed that, she is looking forward to do something remarkable in South Africa and maybe feature some known South African artistes.
