Gospel musician Nana Yaw Ofori-Atta, also known as Oneman1000, has disclosed that he used to sell sachet water back at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology to raise extra income for his upkeep.

According to Oneman1000, he came from a home where not all his needs as a student could be met, hence the need for him to consider ways he could cater for himself.

He therefore discovered that selling sachet water was going to be a lucrative venture, especially since there was no vendor operating in the area where he lived on campus.

"So I needed water one evening, and I couldn't get some, and I had to walk from Katanga all the way to Brunei to go and take water from my cousin's place. So on my way back, I realized that, ah nobody dey sell water for this hostel.""The next day I went to ask for how much a bag of water costs. So I bought the bag, took it to my room, and the next evening somebody came to me that, Charlie I want water. Wey I say, I go fit sell am o. A bag costs me about 2.50p...then I will buy like, 10. Line it up in my room...In the evening I will put a sign in my room that "water available". People will come and come and buy, he told the host of the "Talk No Dey Cook Rice" podcast show, Derrick Ashilevi.

Nana Yaw is a humorous gentleman and a storyteller whose humor and authenticity have made him an authentic figure to many young people, especially gospel music enthusiasts.

He first caught public attention with his viral "Arise Ghana Youth” and “We live by settings” videos, showcasing his level of creativity as a contemporary musician.

He is also known for his comedic skits and X presence and has been recognized for his voice, which creates uplifting music meant to cheer up the downhearted and encourage the already motivated.

Nana Yaw's background can be traced to music, as his father was a former member of the prominent Joyful Way Incorporated choir, who ignited his passion for music from a tender age. “I grew up hearing my dad sing loudly. Sundays, don’t go there! He had a collection of CDs and we played the music and sang along,” he shared.Although he knew he wanted to be in the music industry, he never dreamt that he could do it on his own.“I knew I always wanted to do music through Joyful Way but if you told me I’d be making my own music, I’d never believe you.”Today, he creates music that uplifts and connects. “I don’t want you to jam to a new sound; I want it to mean something to you too like it does to me,” he added.
