Renowned Ghanaian Sound Engineer Gideon Darko popularly known as Sugar Tone is currently in a very sorry state with calls to musicians who have benefitted from his works to come to his aid.

A video of the hitherto vibrant sound maker who produced hits for top musicians in the country including Bandana (Now Shatta Wale ) Moko Hoo album, Kumi Guitar’s  1 litre, Daasebre Gyamena’s still in love, Reggie Zippy for sale, virgin  Kofi B, Daddy Lumba, Ofori Amponsah among others, was found lying weak and struggling to sit up.

It is unclear what actually may have happened to Sugar Tone whose last media encounter was a threat to take musician, Nana Yaw Kumi to court for giving out the song to Mark Okraku when they had a contract about its release.

Sugar Tone owned Options Digital Studio sited at Osekua estate located in-between Santa Maria and the Anyaa market.
