Shegah, known in real life as Mildred Mark-Hansen, is currently signed to Magic Records, under which label she has released the new Afrobeat record which taps into the trendy Amapiano sound titled ‘Cool Chop’, produced by Abochi.
The talented singer Shegah, doubles as a ragga artiste and is a founding member of Hiplife group, Triple M, which released hits including Koti, Girls Girls, and ‘Mon titi ndi’, as well as an official song for the Ghana Black Queens football team.
