Darkua

Data updated on 2025-07-26 19:40:17 UTC
Darkua is a Ghanaian-Nigerian artist whose music is a heartfelt fusion of AfroSoul and R&B. Born Naa Darkua Chinonye Wristberg, she grew up immersed in the rich musical traditions of West Africa, with her parents introducing her to legends like A.B. Crentsil, E.T. Mensah, Lagbaja, K.K. Fosu, and Weird MC. This early exposure ignited her passion for music, leading her to begin crafting her unique sound from the tender age of four.

In 2021, Darkua made a striking entrance into the Ghanaian music scene with her debut single, "Amalelor," which quickly became a fan favorite and received extensive airplay across national FM stations. She followed up with "Go Low," accompanied by captivating visuals that showcased her artistic versatility. Her burgeoning talent was recognised in 2022 when she earned a nomination for "Emerging Woman of the Year" at the 3Music Awards.

Darkua's artistry transcends conventional genre boundaries, weaving together elements of AfroSoul and R&B to create a sound that is both contemporary and deeply rooted in her heritage. Her vocal range and emotive delivery have been highlighted in tracks like "Echo" and "Say My Name," resonating with audiences seeking authenticity and depth in music.

As of 2025, Darkua continues to evolve as an artist, with her debut EP Never Too Late, a soul-baring, emotionally rich body of work that explores themes of love, heartbreak, healing, and rediscovery. With over 2Million streams across platforms.
