Kukua was born to Mr and Mrs Brew in Accra, Ghana in August, 1986. She was left in the care of her grandmother as both parents left Ghana to seek a better future for the family. Kukua did not see her dad until she was 13 years old. Ekua (Kukua) beautifully evokes her childhood with her grandmother and the little precious years she got to spend with her father before he passed away.
