Ateaa Tina worked with the late Daddy Lumba for about five years
Lead vocalist who worked closely with Highlife great Daddy Lumba, Ateaa Tina, has shared details about her five-year musical journey with the late legend.
In an interview with ZionFelix, she explained how their collaboration came to an end, disclosing that the decision was influenced by her choice to prioritise family life.
Ateaa Tina said she worked with Daddy Lumba on five albums over a five-year stretch. Looking back on their studio experience, she described the late Highlife legend as a “lyrical bank,” noting that he handled both the songwriting and composition on his own.

“I didn’t write any of the songs. He would just select the parts and say, ‘you do this section.’ I only sang. He is a lyrical bank, he has lots of lyrics,” she said.
She explained that the partnership eventually ended when her personal life took a new turn after she met her husband during one of her visits to Ghana.
“That last time I came to Ghana, that’s when I met my husband,” she recalled.
Ateaa Tina said after getting married and welcoming her first child, it became difficult to juggle family responsibilities with the demands of the music industry.
“The industry and family, it’s hectic. That’s what caused the break. Basically, family,” she stated.
Through her close collaboration with Daddy Lumba on several albums, Ateaa Tina played an important role in Ghana’s Highlife scene.
Her vocals featured on many fan-favourite songs, and their partnership helped shape a sound that remains cherished by listeners.
