Renowned musician King Paluta shared insights into his upbringing during an interview on The Delay Show aired on March 23, 2024.
He was raised by his mother for the nineteen years (19) in the absence of his father.
He humorously likened his family dynamics to biblical figures, jestingly referring to himself as ‘Jesus.’
Drawing parallels, he highlighted his mother’s name, Mary, and his father’s name, Joseph, alongside his birth out of wedlock.
“I didn’t see my father often,” he said. “I think I was raised by a single mother. Before I was born, my parents weren’t married. When I came into the world, my dad was away. He was in Ghana, but we had no idea of his whereabouts.”
The musician recalled his first encounter with his father when he visited their home, revealing that he was approximately nineteen years old at the time.
“It wasn’t until I was 19 or 20 years old that I met him,” said King Paluta. “He came to my mother, and she discussed marriage with him. My father was the only man my mother had.”
He recounted that throughout this period, his mother consciously chose not to pursue relationships with other men. However, he remained uncertain about her specific reasons, speculating that “her interest in men dwindled after the separation, leading her to prioritize her children.”
King Paluta shared that his father passed away in 2022, but before his death, there had been a reconciliation between his parents.
Reflecting on his musical journey, King Paluta disclosed that he penned his debut song in 2004, demonstrating his dedication to music by investing his school fees in studio sessions.
Today, he has emerged as a respected musician, with his tracks amassing significant views. His notable works include ‘Aha Akye,’ featuring Samini, ‘Sika Aba Fie,’ ‘YaHitte,’ and ‘Aseda.’
