Prince of the Afrobeats scene, Ghetto Boy has been on a steady climb since the release of his first EP Anointed in 2017. With numerous hits such as Under Lover (2017) and For The Luv ft. Naira Marley (2018) already under his belt, it is clear that the Hackney-born artist is rapidly rising through the ranks and slowly shaping up to be one of the genre’s new frontrunners.
His first release in 2017, ‘Under Lover’ became a viral sensation that propelled him to prominence, sparking a global dance routine. Both the success of ‘Under Lover’ and his insatiable desire for success has taken GB all over the world, from headlining a show in Germany, performing with Mr Eazi in Sweden and a tour around Europe at the end of 2018. Ghetto Boy’s music has always been an expression of his immediate reality, or as he puts it “my life inside each song”, and the musician credits travel as a significant source for his creative inspiration. Ghetto Boy now resides both in London and Ghana, an important move for his future as a global star whose focus lies on his fans and on showcasing his culture and legacy to his audience in its purest form. Characterised by unique qualities that set him apart from his peers, GB has proven to be an all-rounder, mixing and mastering his own material.
