AmeyawDebrah.com
The formulation of AmeyawDebrah.com was a result of Debrah's friend hosting and helping him get the domain. Since its inception, the website has found innovative ways to reach readers across the globe. In 2010, the website debuted its iPhone app with the help of MobBase, a web developer. In 2012, the website launched an internet-based talent hunt competition to discover and promote new musical talents in Ghana. In addition, Debrah launched the My Ghana Campaign, a platform where readers can record a one-minute video discussing relevant issues in Ghana.
Managing career
Coptic, a Multi-Platinum award-winning Ghanaian music producer, appointed Debrah as his manager in Ghana and Africa. Coptic released The Black Star Line Mixtape Vol 1 (2011), a mixtape that seeks to bring American rappers back to Africa and close to their roots. The mixtape is also Coptic's introduction to the African market. In addition to managing Coptic's interest in Ghana and Africa, Debrah is also in charge of scouting for new up and coming talents that can be signed to Rebel Musik, Coptic’s African music production branch. In an interview posted on Peace FM Online, Debrah said that he's grateful for the opportunity to work with Coptic, and for helping to advance the careers of Ghanaian/African artists. Ameyaw Debrah Media also assumed management of multiple-award-winning rapper Pappy Kojo in 2014.
