Veteran Ghanaian actor Kofi Adjorlolo has revealed that his first passion was music, not acting. As a child, many believed he was destined for a career in music due to his remarkable talent. Kofi shared that he began playing the trumpet at just 8 years old, and his dedication allowed him to perform alongside notable musicians like Gyedu Blay Ambolley and Sir Victor Uwaifo.
