Ghanaian-born Hollywood actor, Kofi Sriboe seems to be taking his songwriting skills seriously nowadays.  The actor, songwriter and model Kofi Siriboe attended the BMI Urban Awards with fellow international music star, Drake who inspired and gave knowledge to the young rising star.

Kofi took a break from the set to dip his feet in the music world to help celebrate one of music’s biggest nights with some of the most influential artist, songwriters, and producers in the game in Hollywood, CA on August 26. Kofi is equally passionate about having a career in music as he is about acting, and was very inspired by the evening of stars, which included Wiz Khalifa, Snoop Dogg, Akon, Dr.Dre, The Game, Lex Luger and many more.
