    Biography

    “My music is Tema. My music describes my journey,” says Kwesi Arthur. Hailing from the Ghanaian harbortown, his work chronicles his incredible rags-to-riches story. “I feel like my music is a journal sometimes,” he explains. “Everything I feel, everything I go through, I express it through the music.” It’s his lyrical talent and soaring ambition that make him particularly great, because it’s not just music he’s making, it’s hope. “Where I’m from, people aren't given these opportunities, we don't have access to much. So you gotta make use of what you get. My fight is about going from having nothing to getting closer and closer to my dreams everyday. I'm moving towards something bigger than you and I. And my music is guiding me to that.” 
 Since he first burst on the scene with his 2017 hit single “Grind Day,” he’s rapidly risen to become one of the brightest stars in Ghana’s burgeoning music scene where the rapper and singer occupies an inimitable space. “With my art, however I can get my feelings across, I’m gonna express it, whether it’s rap or melodies.” Sonically Arthur’s music knows no limits – his blend of Highlife, Afrobeats, R&B and staunch Hip-hop makes him the perfect microcosm of contemporary Ghanaian music. And the world is paying attention. Hits like “Baajo,” “Live from 233,” and “Celebrate” and collaborations with music’s elite Sarkodie, Vic Mensa, Stormzy, Mr Eazi, Nasty C, and more, have garnered him international recognition and accolades.
