Today is a very special episode of Cat Mama World because I had the absolute pleasure of speaking to one of my dearest dearest lovers and friends David Nana Opoku Ansah (COZYSHRT). He is one of my dearest collaborators in music (@THABKGODITSRIA hive stand up!!) and an incredible and thoughtful photographer, filmmaker, creative director and now one of the people behind a true labor of love - A film lab!! In this episode we just have a really wholesome conversation about his journey and all the different things that he's been doing along the way, this episode also teaches us a lot about how following your curiosities can always lead to beautiful and rewarding outcomes. David is a testimony also to being a forever student of the craft when it comes to his creative pursuits and he teaches us a little bit about trusting and knowing ones self enough to commit to the process of exploration.

On this episode we are also blessed to get a special mix he made, get ready to rave in your room!!

• Love you,

With Guest: David Nana Opoku Ansah (b. Accra, Ghana) is an artist, photographer and filmmaker who explores freedom, community and quintessential aspects of humanity through analogue and digital mediums. His 'fly on the wall' perspective and world-building approach challenge the nature of how images should look and feel through fashion, contemporary image-making and portraiture.

His critically acclaimed ongoing project “Area Boys” captures themes of freedom, vulnerability, and the meaning of truth for coming-of-age Ghanaian boys. This project seamlessly bridges David's roots with his evolving identity as an image-maker, encapsulating the essence of his artistic evolution: “All things are worth photographing”.

In essence, David Nana Opoku Ansah embodies the spirit of artistic exploration and innovation, where every facet of the human experience is deemed worthy of being immortalized through the unique lens of his perspective.
