JOEBOY has gone from recording cover songs in his college dorm to becoming one of African music’s brightest new stars, topping streaming charts and touring the continent with an improbable run of smashes. With lyrics that capture the innocence of young love and the sting of youthful heartbreak, the 23-year-old crooner has carved his own lane within the increasingly crowded field of Nigerian pop stars. Joeboy has gone No. 1 on Apple Music in Nigeria and Uganda with “Baby” and “Beginning” — his first two solo singles — as well as top 10 spots in Kenya, Ghana and Zimbabwe. His swift ascent and hitmaking talent has taken him beyond the continent, landing him coverage and plaudits from Rolling Stone, CNN, Complex, Pitchfork and Billboard among others.
After ending his breakthrough 2019 campaign on a high note with his debut EP, Love & Light, which introduced the follow-up hits “Don’t Call Me Back”and “All For You,” JOEBOY is preparing to release his first album, Between Beauty and Magic, later this year. “Call,” the project’s lead single, introduces a darker, more urgent edge to JOEBOY’s sound while the video — a dystopian, sci-fi love story directed by TG Omori — further positions JOEBOY as a star to watch.

Meanwhile, “Nobody,” a collaboration with mentor Mr Eazi and Nigeria’s DJ Neptune, has become 2020’s biggest afropop anthem, topping Apple Music’s streaming charts in a half dozen African countries while reaching #7 on Billboard’s World Digital Songs Sales Chart. The song has even inspired a global dance craze, the #NobodyChallenge, with over 10 million homemade videos inspired by the song on the social streaming app Triller alone.

Edem has a fanbase of over 24 million Ghanaians, 6 million Togolese attached and growing by the day in Africa.

Noted as a strong advocate for education he constantly encourages all his peers to stay in school, he became the face of Marshalls University College (Formerly Meridian Pre University). He is also affiliated with strong brands like BET where he took part in the first ever African BET cypher. Edem on the 11th of May 2012 became the first African brand Ambassador to the 2nd largest spirit brand in the world ABSOLUT VODKA and Ghana’s beer brand “Club Beer”. Joining the league of Jay Z, Ceelo Greene, Kanye West and more, he has also recently joined other acts like 2face to support BET’s ‘Trayvon Martin’ campaign. Edem recently got an award from the University Of Ghana Legon School Of Allied Sciences for his contribution to arts and entertainment and the nation at large.

A Tema resident from birth, Yaa Pono has quickly risen to become not just Ghana’s but one of Africa’s premier and best loved freestyle hip hop artists. 
His fast wit, natural charisma, use of the Akan language and sharp social observations are some of the reasons behind Pono’s championing on the social media site, YouTube, by his legion of fans. Blending these elements with highlife, hip hop, dancehall and afrobeat rhythms demonstrates Pono’s true versatility. His re-emergence as Ghana's most respected rapper (and singer) is set.

After appearing on several local radio shows and competitions, Yaa Pono entered the studio in 1995. He can count artists such as Sarkodie, Stay Jay, Guru, D Cryme and Chris Waddle among his contemporaries as they often appeared together at gigs. Dr. Duncan’s ‘Kasahari Level’ show proved the platform for bringing Pono’s unparalled skill to the World.
