Adina narrated how her life has been impacted by the existence of the late President Jerry John Rawlings.

According to her, she received an invitation to perform at the late President’s birthday party which she gladly accepted.

She was then given a tall list of the late President’s favourite songs to perform on the day and thoroughly prepared for it.

“Whilst performing, I was looking for him in the crowd to read his expressions and all but couldn’t find him. It was after the event that I heard he was teary throughout my performance because the songs got to him and he enjoyed them at the same time”.

“Recently I met another big person who was at the party and he also told me I was great and that he enjoyed the show”.

“I am very grateful to have made such an impact at the time. Though he is gone now, he will forever remain in our hearts and minds”, she told Happy 98.9 FM’s DJ Advicer on the Ayekoo After Drive show.

The singer, songwriter and actress further expressed her joy at being a judge at Mentor.

"It was a big honour but I also took it as a challenge because definitely, when I started, I went through a lot of things such that if a young artiste comes to ask me how to go about things, at least I have a few words of advice or motivation to share so that he or she can also achieve what they want to achieve so it was a beautiful challenge for me."

"They usually assign each judge four contestants to groom and last year, one contestant that I chose from the North emerged as winner of the show so for me to come from a reality show to be probably the youngest judge on the panel and be able to pick someone and make the person a winner, it was a big deal for me,” she confessed.
