�Bribi Yaaye Me� crooner Veeda celebrated her birthday on Monday, September 12 with a sizable party with her family and friends at her Maryland home in the United State of America where she lives.
Veeda told NEWS-ONE ahead of her party that she was happy to have added another year to her age and prayed for long life and prosperity.
�Birthdays are special days and we always have to cherish those days. It�s a day with lots of wishes so we need to be very particular with our wishes on those days because they surely do come to pass. So I wish for more wisdom, understanding and knowledge, long life and prosperity,� Veeda said.
Born Vida Darko, she is a known Ghanaian songstress and actress. She began singing at the age of seven at church in front of a large congregation. Her soft voice has made her tour with artistes such as Ofori Amponsah, Francis Adjei, and top Francophone artistes in the Diaspora.
The idea about being a beauty queen was not a �pleasant thing� for Veeda when she was growing up. Surprisingly, in 2002, she won Miss Ghana USA 2002 and is now convinced that beauty pageants are not as bad as she thought they were.
She holds a degree in Computer Information Systems and has a hiplife and R&B album with hit singles �Bribi Yaa Ye Me�, �Please Forgive Me� and �African King�. It features Ghana�s Babashanti, Disastrous, Red Eye of 2 Toff and more.
Veeda is a well-liked and respected face in USA, Ghana, Nigeria, Canada, UK and other countries because of how she executed her role in �My American Nurse I� which was directed by Hollywood, filmmaker, writer and producer, Pascal Atuma.
Veeda has already starred in movies like �Virginia Is For Lovers�, �I Surrender All�, �Crossing Path (I)�, �Capital Blues�, �Ladies In The City�, �Hidden Romance� and �Quest For Money (Big Brother)� and Shirley Frimpong Manso�s �Checkmate�.
Veeda has two classic music videos off her maiden album, �Destiny�. They are lead single �Bribi Yaaye Me� and �Please Forgive Me�.
Veeda intends to work more and raise resources for her charity labelled �Change Charity� which solely seeks to help foster kids in Ghana and Africa as a whole.
