As a dancer and drummer, Edward has been performing with groups within Greater Accra Region, such as “The Good News Dance Ensemble,” "New Generation Dance Ensemble" and “Odumankoma Group”. The influence of his grandfather, a master drummer, was always present and the opportunity to follow in his footsteps came up with “Dza Nyonmo Dance Ensemble”.
