Early life and education

edit

Growing up in James Town, she attended the God Wisdom Preparatory school and continued to Korle Gonno 1 and Owusu Mills' JHS at Mamprobi [a suburb of Accra] for her junior high school education. She admitted to skin bleaching in her teen years because it was the norm in Jamestown. [4]

Mzbel then continued to pursue secondary education at Abuakwa State College. She studied general arts, majoring in economics, geography and French. She then applied to study at the Ghana Institute of Languages and trained to become a bilingual secretary.[5]

Music career

edit

After her course at the GIL and a stint with Manifold Tutorial College, she earned an internship slot with GBC Radio 1, where she hosted a children's program "Mmofra Kyepem". From GBC Radio 1 she joined Groove FM [now Adom FM], as an intern and co-hosted a child focused program titled ‘Kids on Groove’.

Having worked with Groove FM for a while, the pursuit of higher heights led her to TV3 as a production assistant for one of the station's youth-centered programs known as Goldblast. She also worked as the floor manager for the same show and also as a production assistant for another program the "Talking Drum".

In the year 2002, she had the opportunity to work with Hush Hush Studios, which at that time had come on the scene as a new production firm. While at Hush Hush, she sometimes would enter the studio, and as the technicians played their instruments, she sang along to songs she had created. These were songs she would usually sing to herself with no serious intention of pursuing a music career. While working part-time at Hush Hush Studios, she secured another job, at Metro TV as the only digital video editor and also a presenter for 'Smash TV’, a weekend entertainment program.

After leaving Metro TV, she was employed by Apex Advertising as a video editor and production manager. She had to combine Music and her job roles at Apex, and when she found the two overly demanding, She chose to give the music the full span of her attention. Over time, she has been criticized for her choice of clothes which have been described as "sexy" or "skimpy". in her own words, Mzbel believes, however, that as an artist, you must look unique. She has always had the ambition to be a source of inspiration for the underprivileged and to be able to help the down trodden.

Mzbel signed with Ginger Global Music Distribution in 2022.
