Born Eric Turkson, Ded Buddy also known as QWECi is a Ghanaian American AFRO-POP / AFROBEATS / R&B / EDM Singer, Song Writer, Music Producer and Entrepreneur. 

Spending his childhood in Accra exposed Buddy to a vastly diverse culture and sound that is apparent from the first note. His musical influences include E.T. Mensah, Osibisa, Michael Jackson, Beatles, The Carpenters, Enya, Lionel Richie, Kool and the Gang, and Stevie Wonder, whom he opened for at Panafest in 1994. 

When the music scene back then in Ghana needed revamping, Ded Buddy stepped up to the plate in 1998 and created a fusion of High-Life and R&B / Soul vibes to create a new sound (AFRO R&B) for the masses making him an overnight singing sensation.

Ded Buddy has worked with some of the worlds greats including Junior Reid on his song ‘One Love’,, Hardy ‘Indiigo’ Muanza (Producer for Madonna), DIDEIR AWADI, J Martins, Kns Tha Engineer, Fiumi (Switzerland) on the song ‘Anthem’ that topped the itunes EDM/DANCE chart for 10 weeks, Wiyaala on ‘I Believe in Africa’, Kidi on ‘Yebesa remix’ and many more.

Whilst releasing much anticipated music, Buddy is also putting together his songs for the trending markets as well as an upcoming Album. His goal is to reach the entire world by creating that "feel good music” that everyone can relate to and sing along. His work continues.
