Adina has revealed that her new hairstyle is inspired by her South African Lineage.

The multiple award-winning artiste, who was the champion of music reality show Stars of the Future in 2008, shared her reason with Amansan Krakye. 

“My hair that I shaved was a bold step that I had to take. Two years ago I also trimmed my hair and it was inspired by the fact that I’m a Fante but my other half hails from South Africa."

"Whenever I travel to South Africa I realize that trimming of hair is very common among my family relations and it inspired me to cut my hair because it gave me a nice balance,”

“I went back to braid my hair again and I realized that no, short hair is what really suits me. It’s easier to manage and when you are going to do something it’s not now that you are going to waste time to go style your hair at all.

“I mean with the work that I do sometimes you have to be ready for interviews all week long. So if your hair is something that stresses you it can bring you a lot of difficulties.

"It’s not like guys who can wear a shirt but as for females we have to go buy a dress and you have to think about your hair, your makeup and so it’s a whole package,” Adina added.

“At least I have taken the burden that the hair comes with so now I have to think about the rest.”

Adina started singing when she was a young girl. She had her senior high school education at the Wesley Girls High School and then moved to Central University where she obtained a degree in Environmental and Development Studies. Growing up as a kid she joined the National Theatre Choir where she got to perform at Kidafest and Fun World shows.

She shot to prominence in the Ghana music scene when she competed in the music reality show 'Stars of the Future' organised by Charter House Ghana and eventually became the winner.
