Tekno Opens Up on Losing His Voice and Life-Changing Throat Surgery

Tekno reveals how a stubborn sore throat turned into months of pain. Acid reflux inflamed his vocal cords after a performance in Ghana, forcing him to cancel shows and refund tickets. Specialists in the UK diagnosed severe GERD and performed robotic-assisted surgery. They implanted a magnetic device to prevent stomach acid from rising and burning his throat. The recovery was grueling. Tekno spent five months unable to speak, relying on a text-to-speech app and vocal therapy. He also faced heavy medical bills. Now fully healed, he has regained his voice and returned to music. His experience highlights the vocal health risks performers can face.
