About: Alex Kwesi Crassie (aka TuRas TuRise)

Alex Kwesi Crassie known as “TuRas TuRise“ is a man born with a special gift and a unique aura of lightening up everything he touches which friends ,work colleagues and close relations have described him as (cherry on top of his many gifting he possess).

Born on 10th December in the late 70's to the late Mr John Kenneth Crassie and Mercy Araba Wood, Turas recalls growing up with his seven brothers and one Sister was not a smooth ride.

Turas had his early education in a school he claims to be the strictest of all private schools in Ghana by far “Cosmos International School”. He completed his junior Secondary Education in De'Yongsters International School. A school he is highly grateful for exposing him to the core of his Daily Bread ‘Entertainment’ and later St. Augustine’s College.

An admission to the University of Ghana Legon was a dream short lived due to financial difficulties and a fall out between his beloved mom and his late dad. This set him on a journey of becoming an ambitious young man with more hunger for success, self-determination and a do or die attitude to make his life and his family a life worthy of living.

Turas speaks of his move to South Africa as a decision he will cherish all his life by saying South Africa is the best teacher of life, it will humble you, drain you, tear you apart, beat you down till you cannot take it anymore, but it will reward you if you learn from the hash lessons it throws at you.

TTl ,The Black Shoaline Monks , two solo albums ,”The Street Disciples” (former group) and countless collaborations brought Turas major breakthroughs and lots of set-backs due to fall-out with music group and lack of financial support to push recorded projects.

In South Africa, where Turas currently resides, his major breakthrough came when he landed the lead role to star in one of the Biggest Alcoholic and beverage brands in the world 'Guinness' this will follow with many TV commercials from world renowned brands like Standard Bank, telecommunication giants Airtel, Cell c, MTN ,Armstrong beer, Project cheers , Nivada and the list is endless with countless voice over recordings which have aired on CNN , Sky News ,BBC and most of the highly rated channels on The Digital Satellite TV and GoTV .

Major popularity came more bookings for what sets him apart and makes him unique The Act (Master of Ceremonies) which the world can testifies from corporate shows to fan parks event.

Turas’ comic attitude and never ending stage presence and baritone voice sets stages ablaze always. Turas’ major Breakthrough in the radio industry came when he had to push and wait in line for nearly six months to be given a chance by Chuma Phiri (then the manager of Rhythm 100 Radio) to join the panel of the African Top 40 count down.

Chuma was contracted as the station Manager of Planet Radio now the First African RadioTv, Planet Radio Television (PRTV) and recruited Turas to host his own radio show dubbed “The Check-in-Time Show” in 2011. An infotainment Radio TV show which is streamed all over the world via the internet and also on the DSTV/Gotv Channel 73 which is produced by the young vibrant female sunshine and CEO of MayMay Production and also a an Analyst at South African National Treasury, Mavis Anim.

Turas’ hard work and his intense passion to succeed in the Entertainment Industry and a testimony to his vas talent lunched him into becoming the Host of “Hello Motherland” in 2012.An African lifestyle and Magazine television Show which is aired on African Magic Channel 154 and 155 under V-dash Production.

Through is undying desire to push himself, his work ethics was rewarded as the “Most Dedicated Employee of Planet Image Production 2012”. The same month saw Turas being given the honour by the President of Planet Image Productions Mr Wale Akinlabi of becoming the Co-Host with Shelia Pires for the Biggest and Brightest Breakfast show on the African Continent “Good Morning Africa” (GMA)

prime time breakfast show on the African Magic Entertainment.

The future looks promising for Turas as he is also now the “Voice of Millionaires Casino Radio in Accra – Ghana and Kenya”.

With his vast knowledge in television production and artist management, Turas is now one of Africa’s finest music video and commercial directors for major brands.

With more radio and television air time under his belt, Turas can testify that God is a Fair and a just God who rewards all who are determined to work and better their lives and also to be a blessing to the World at large
