Frank Naro, the Ghanaian actor-turned-musician, has opened up about his short-lived stint with Guru’s NKZ Music label and the circumstances surrounding his exit after just two years.
During an interview on Hitz FM, Frank recounted how Guru and his team backed him during the early stages of his music career. He was signed alongside Strongman, and the label took full financial responsibility for his projects.
“Big ups to Guru of NKZ. When I started music professionally, Guru signed me for two years alongside Strongman. All the music and videos I released during that time were fully funded by Guru and Ray Moni,” he said.
Although the partnership began on a strong note, Frank revealed that his contract with NKZ wasn’t renewed once the initial term ended.
“From there, the contract was done, and they didn’t sign me again,” he explained.

He attributed the decision to unmet expectations but made it clear he harbored no resentment toward the label.
“The reason was that the expectations were not coming, but I didn’t blame them because it wasn’t easy for me when I started,” he said.
“At the end of the day, he’s investing in me, so if he decides not to work with me again, then it’s fine.”
Following his departure from NKZ, Frank found success with a new single that helped him build momentum and capture the attention of celebrated dancehall icon Samini. That opportunity soon led to a major career boost.
“I then released a song with Kofi Kinaata, and I got the attention from there. Along the line, Samini said he would help me, so he came on board and signed me.
“The first day Samini signed me was like a dream come true, so that made me happy,” Frank Naro stated.
