ISAAC ASUMADU is our latest discovery in our Search for outstanding musical talent on Glotime.tv.
Isaac has been working the circuit for more than ten years as an accomplished keyboard player, but now as a young man in his early thirties, he remembers when times were not so encouraging.
Isaac was born in Ghana and was the eldest of three children born to Esi Yeboah who was a single mother. When he sadly lost his Esi to a mystery illness when he was ten old, Isaac had no other living relatives apart from his two sisters of eight and nine years of age – and they were left alone to fend for themselves.
‘I really didn’t believe I would survive’ said Isaac ‘but I believed in God and prayed that somehow I could find food and look after my two younger siblings’.
Isaac’s prayers were answered and he found solace with the local Church who helped provide food and shelter. It was here that he discovered an old piano, rarely used, but Isaac believes that it was this that ultimately helped him to heal. Every day he would creep into the church and teach himself to play, ‘it was as if my hands were guided over the keyboards’ says Isaac. ‘I believed it to be my late Mother at that time, as I had many spiritual experiences back then in Ghana’.
But Isaac’s success story continued when he managed to get enough money together to fly to the UK, sleeping on the floors of friends and taking whatever work he was offered as a musician.
Isaac continued to study piano and became so accomplished that he supported the likes of Craig David, Alex Catania, Jammie Scott and Jamelia as he established himself as a top ranking musician.
From the moment he arrived in the UK he would send money back to his sisters in Ghana who by now had achieved their own success by being accepted into College with Isaacs constant support. They both graduated and are now doing really well and working as trained beauty therapists.
For the past two years Isaac has been working on his own amazing Jazz Album, which is being launched at the UNDERBELLY – 11 HOXTON SQUARE, LONDON N1 7NU on Saturday 3rd December.
This is an evening of entertainment not to be missed, and he will be supported by established guest artists from the world of Music and Television.

GloTIME.tv Review
The TV series documents events around the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun in Valley of the Kings in Egypt, instigated by Lord Carnarvon in 1905. Sam Neill delivers his usual stellar performance, and we are transported to the time when England’s elite really were the ruling class.
Howard Carter – the archaeologist at the helm of this historical dig, was purportedly the only man with the knowledge and knowhow to execute and head up such a prestigious and potentially perilous project.
Carter is played by Max Irons, son of Jeremy Irons, and his painful passion for both the discovery and the daughter of Lord Carnarvon, is beautifully portrayed.
Carnarvon, whose home back in Blighty was Highclere Castle, which ironically become the most famous ITV costume drama home of all: Downton Abbey, did not approve of the love match, and it nearly put an end to the relationship of Carter and Lord Carnarvon. But passion usually prevails, and you will have to watch the drama unfold as the DVD is released to see who strikes the ultimate triumph.
ITV Studios Global Entertainment is proud to announce Tutankhamun available on
DVD & iTunes from 7th November 2016
Starring Sam Neill & Max Irons
SYNOPSIS
Set against the ochre sands, looming cliffs and baking heat of Egypt’s Valley of the Kings, this ambitious, sweeping saga is based on the compelling personal story of Howard Carter, the eminent British archaeologist who found the tomb of the boy-king Tutankhamun. Down at heel archaeologist Howard Carter (Max Irons; Woman in Gold, The White Queen) stumbles upon evidence of an undiscovered tomb of one of Egypt’s forgotten Pharaohs, Tutankhamun. Other archaeologists dismiss Carter’s theories as impossible, a romantic dream: The valley, they say, has been dug out. Only one man believes in Carter’s dream, and puts up the money he needs: Lord Carnarvon (Sam Neill; Peaky Blinders, Jurassic Park), a born gambler and thrill-seeker. Together, this unlikely pair overcome all odds – corrupt officials, rival digs, war, revolution – in pursuit of this impossible dream.

When The Kardashians hit the screen more than half a decade ago, I vowed I would never switch on, believing that they were just a crass family who had made a fortune through default – and would disappear as quickly as they came.
Who would have thought that the World would accept them on such a huge scale, only previously awarded to Hollywood movie stars or Royalty. Has the World gone completely mad I continued to ask myself or have I been desperately out of touch with what people want – as we are moving so fast and furious in an ever changing World of social media.
As the Kardashians have moved centre stage, we are all bemused by the position they hold, but they are providing a talking point, love them or hate them.
I was astonished to hear that the earnest actor Sarah Jessica Parker even gave Kim and Kanye the time of day, complimenting them for the attention given to her family during a recent visit to the rapper’s concert.
Are they now becoming accepted in revered circles of the Hollywood elite, in spite of their lack of pedigree?
Then the inevitable happened – and Kim, who had been flaunting her wealth on Instagram by showing off her engagement ring worth a meagre 4.5million dollars, was held at gun point by robbers who tied her up and cleaned out her entire magpie collection.
Kanye was seen abandoning his show in New York, with a heartfelt statement that he had a family emergency, and needed to be by their side.
It is the stuff that major movies are made of and the Kardashians were pushed into global limelight once again playing out their parts in an international Drama.
When the news was announced, I did have a flicker of doubt as to the validity of the event, but felt that even the Kardashians would not stoop so low, and waste valuable police time – especially in Paris where terrorism is rife. But I was surprised to learn that 70% of Hollywood do believe it to be a scam.
My own daughter who is educated and savvy is also a fan of the Kardashians and assures me that they are not just a talentless bunch of morons, but in fact a strategically brilliant family who are acting out their own soap opera – knowing what the world is waiting for stage by stage.
A family run business, who rather than putting pen to paper, are putting their own lives on the line, and yes, making a fortune in the process, but forgoing their own privacy – similar to royalty – and living out dream in a world desperate for escapism and fantasy.
So does this now make me want to watch their shows – hang on, let me get back to you on that one!
