My journey began in Kumasi, Ghana with a dream, a borrowed mic, and a deep love for music. Back in high school, I was just a kid trying to find my sound. I started out rapping, recording raw demos with my close friend using church instruments and whatever we could get our hands on. It wasn’t much but it was enough.

Everything changed the day I picked up a guitar and started to sing. It came naturally. From that moment, the music felt different, more honest, more alive. That’s when I knew this was more than just a hobby. It was my path.

I grew up listening to legends like Daddy Lumba and Kojo Antwi. Their storytelling and melodies stuck with me. Over time, I started blending that Highlife influence with Afrobeats, creating something that felt familiar but still my own.

But I’ve never limited myself to one sound. Whether it’s R&B, Amapiano, Reggae, or Soul, I follow the feeling. No matter the genre, my music always comes from the same place — love, connection, and good energy.

Music is just one part of how I express myself. I paint, I design, I capture moments through photography. Creativity is how I see the world, and I try to bring that into everything I do with elegance, simplicity, and purpose. I believe in keeping things clean and timeless both in my work and how I carry myself.

I make music for real life. For joy. For healing. For quiet moments that matter.

My songs aren’t just something to hear. They’re something to feel. To live with. To grow with.
