Ghanaian talented bass player Emmanuel Osei Poku is receiving accolades from fellow musicians for his outstanding performance in Sonnie Badu’s latest song, “OLORUNFEMI(God Loves Me),” featuring Ghana’s gospel music giant Joe Mettle.
This song, released on January 14, 2024, was recorded during the Live In Concert- RHYTHMS OF AFRICA by Ghanaian US-based Gospel minister Dr Sonnie Badu, held on December 9, 2023, at Ghana’s Grand Arena in Accra.
Osei Poku, fast rising bass player, had the chance to showcase his skills on Sonnie Badu’s new song and was also the official bass player for Sonnie Badu and RHYTHMS OF AFRICA 2023.
He seized this unexpected opportunity and poured his heart, wisdom, skill, and dedication into playing the bass guitar, adding more sweetness to the song. Colleagues admired his skillful play when they spotted him in the music video, which he shared on Instagram. These colleagues, possibly from Ghana’s Team Eternity group, praised Osei Poku for his performance with Sonnie Badu at RHYTHMS OF AFRICA and in the new song when watching him on Television.
Being one of the youngest to play with Sonnie Badu, Osei Poku served as his official bass player for 2023, touring African countries with other band members. He not only contributed to Sonnie Badu’s new song but also played in “Idinma” and “Enojare”, which are already available on YouTube and various online music platforms.
Osei Poku has collaborated with renowned musicians and groups in Ghana, including Sandy Asare, Akesse Brempong, Team Eternity, Keepers Music, Kobbe Mante, Lordina Soprano, Diana Hamilton and more.
Expressing gratitude for the opportunity to work with Sonnie Badu on RHYTHMS OF AFRICA, Osei Poku quoted Proverbs 16:3, emphasizing the importance of committing one’s actions to God. He also appreciated Sonnie Badu’s Assistant and personal keyboardist, Frederick Acheampong, known as Achiekeyz.
Osei Poku has quietly influenced young individuals, especially with his Pentecostal style of play. Many aspiring bass players look up to him as a mentor.

OFFICIAL TRAILER RELEASED FOR “CALL ME MICKY,” EXECUTIVE PRODUCED BY DOMINIQUE JACKSON
New 22-minute documentary short follows Micky Angelo Petrillo after transitioning at 59, with the acclaimed POSE star helping bring his story to the screen
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — NEW YORK: The official trailer for CALL ME MICKY, a new documentary short Executive Produced by acclaimed POSE star Dominique Jackson and directed by Andrew Rasmussen, has been released on YouTube ahead of the film’s upcoming festival run.
The 22-minute documentary follows Micky Angelo Petrillo, a larger-than-life New Jersey native who transitioned at 59 and is now discovering what comes next.
Rather than presenting transition as the conclusion of Petrillo’s story, CALL ME MICKY focuses on the life unfolding afterward — through Pride celebrations, open mics, friendships, storytelling and Petrillo’s increasingly public embrace of the man he fought decades to become.
Jackson also appears in the film, joining Petrillo for an intimate on-camera conversation about identity, visibility and what it means to finally live openly as yourself.
Internationally recognized for her commanding portrayal of Elektra on FX’s groundbreaking series POSE, Jackson is an actress, model, activist and producer who also served as an Executive Producer of the acclaimed documentary I’M YOUR VENUS, which premiered at the Tribeca Festival.
Petrillo is the author of the memoir Walking the Earth: First as a Woman, Then a Man.
While CALL ME MICKY captures one chapter of Petrillo’s much larger story, the film offers an intimate portrait of a man discovering that becoming yourself is not the ending — it may only be the beginning.
CALL ME MICKY is produced by CARDINAL, a New York City–based creative production company, and directed by CARDINAL co-founder Andrew Rasmussen.
The film begins its festival run this fall, with additional screenings and festival announcements forthcoming.
