Her singing talent got her to be noticed at church as she became an integral part of the church choir until she met sound engineer Kwaku Mensah who became her manager.
She then started training to become a vocalist and became so good at it that got a number of gigs until one day she was told that Daddy Lumba wanted to work with her.
Ateea Tina said when she heard the news, she did not believe it because Daddy Lumba was one of the best artistes in the country at the time.
She continued that at the time, she was in Holland and Daddy Lumba was in Germany, so they had to make a 6-hour drive to meet DL.
Tina revealed that when they met, they immediately started working on Lumba’s projects and her life started changing from then.
