Castro De Destoyer-His Journey, His Career and His Life

Castro De Destroyer1
Castro De Destroyer

The birth name of Hiplife musician – Castro – is Theophilus Tagoe. He was born in 1982 to Mrs Lydia Tagoe and Mr Coffie. Castro spent his early years and some part of his adulthood in Tarkoradi where he hails from.

Castro started his musical career at a very tender age due to his love for music. He later moved from Tarkoradi to Accra to concentrate on his music career since Accra is thought to be where a musician can easily make a break-through.

Professionally, Castro joined mainstream music in 2003 when he released his debut album ‘Sradenam’. Sradenam became an instant hit in Ghana. Its popularity and the lyrics that made up the song drove musicians like Tripple M to record cover versions of it.

In an era where music business was not lucrative and difficult for musicians to remain consistent, Castro was able to maintain that uniformity and came out with his second studio album – ‘Toffee’. Much need not to be talked about ‘Sradenam’ and ‘Toffe’. The impact and the noise these two albums generated was felt everywhere in the country. Among the many musicians at that time, Castro stood out from the crowd because of his silky voice and his singing prowess.

We cannot list the number of featured tracks Castro has to his credit simply because they are uncountable. He worked with musicians such as 4×4, Tinny, Sarkodie, Abrewa Nana, Mzbel, Pope Skinny, Buk Bak, Dasebre Dwamena, just to mention a few.

The history of Hiplife cannot be written without making reference to somebody like Castro. He contributed much to this genre that is putting food on the tables of several young guys and girls today.

Castro later moved from being a solo artiste and formed a group with Shiloh and Screw Face. With these three great musicians coming together to form a trio, they named their group Cashface – Castro (Ca), Shiloh (sh), Screw Face (face). Many hit tracks like ‘Omega’ was churned out from this group until the group was later dissolved where Castro went on with his solo projects just as he had started at the beginning of his career.

Asamoah Gyan Accused of Being ‘Angel of Death’ Truth or Superstition?

If there is one thing you can trust Ghanaians to do, it is to look for underlying reasons for any event, no matter how innocuous. People are always looking for the hand of the spiritual in whatever issue that happens in our physical world.

Therefore whenever any serious tragedy strikes, it does not take long for the conspiracy theorists to come out with their versions of what happened. No person of note can die a natural death in Ghana, and in Castro’s case it has not taken long for the theory surrounding his demise to come out, and this one links several past incidents, including Castro’s ‘death’, all to Black Stars captain Asamoah Gyan.
