With “Kwaku the Traveller,” which shot to the top of the charts in Ghana and Nigeria in March 2022, he experienced his first major success.
The premiere of his album, “The Villain I Never Was,” at number 12 on the Billboard World Albums Chart was an incredible accomplishment for the up-and-coming musician.
