[2] Buk Bak, coined from “book back,” was first formed to see how far Prince Bright (also known as Bling Sparkles), Ronnie Coaches, and Isaac Shoetan (known as Papa Shoto)[3] could go considering their love for music as a window to vent their feelings and means to entertain their ever-increasing fan base.
In an inter-school rap contest, Ronnie Coaches who was pursuing auto mechanics at Accra Technical Training College (ATTC) came in second with his group and Shoetan and Bling Sparkles came in third.
Coaches recorded “Screen Saver,” an equally successful album before the two announced their comeback in 2012 to release the club banger “Kolom”.
[citation needed] Buk Bak's belief in mentoring other artists was because “when you are at the top alone it will get to a time you will feel lonely so we should help several other people come up there so we can all enjoy life”.
On November 21, 2013, Coaches was pronounced dead at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra, Ghana, after having suffered a heart attack.
