Kanyan - Edey Be Me

Kanyan Dimah Basit, better known by his stage name Kanyan is a Ghanian recording artist. He is a songwriter and performer. 
He started recording songs even in his early years when he was in high-school and was known as a dancer. He also liked fashion. Dimah Kanyan Dimah Basit, now better known as Kanyan, used call himself "HitBoy youngest and baddest". Kanyan was born in the northern part of Ghana in a village call Tarsow, in the Sisaala district of upper west region. Growing up in the village he appeared to have a life style different from his siblings. For example he always found dancing and didn't miss any entertainment that involved dancing,he also like dressing like a musician.  He was virtually written-off in the village because they were not able to figure out the talent in him. 
He discovered himself in high school where he started trying to sing each time the school had what is called a variety show entertainment. He will sneak from school on weekends and travel all the way to the regional capital, Wa, to record demo with a famous engineer in the region called Mori, who use to work with another star artist called Wiyala. 

Kanyan took music as his career immediately  he completed high school and moved to the capital city of Ghana (Accra) in 2013. He has the conviction that Accra will definitely offer him the opportunity to unearth the talent in him. Kanyan certainly knows what he is about and what will enable him achieve it. Unfortunately, many around him didn't appreciate. The trouble was how to get people who saw him as lazy to come along with his vision. After releasing his first single (-E dey be me-) video, it started being clear to many that, there's something in him very special.
But I can assure you that, it hasn't even started yet.
He decided to change his stage name from Breezy to Kanyan when he realized using a name that describes who you are makes you feel natural and real as an African. Kanyan is an indigenous name among the people of Sisaala in the northern part of Ghana.  It simply means "Be who you are" This is a name he "inherited" from his late uncle using it as his new stage name.
