Kwesi Arthur
“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.”
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.
