Early life
In the early part of the year 2000, Joshua took up a hobby of playing basketball and football at St. John Senior Secondary School. This was where he met Andrew, a student and an athlete. Joshua hails from the Central region, while Andrew is from the Western region. They both spoke the native Fante and hence had oral telepathy as they did musical freestyles.[2][4]
By the year 2005, the duo had recorded several demos and mixtapes in studios like One blaze and Dons mic, all in the Tema Metropolis. Their recording quest drove them to the shores of the Highly Spiritual studio owned by legendary sound engineer Kaywa.[1][5][6]
In 2008, Keche released their first single[1] "Omogemi", which was followed by "Ring my bell" which featured Sarkodie.[7]
