NOTABLE QUOTES

“Very few have propelled Ghana’s dancehall movement to greater heights than Stonebwoy. He is not only one of the most renowned Reggae and dancehall artists across Africa – but he also commands the respect and admiration of Caribbean audiences.” – CNN, Lauren Lee

“I’m blending such diverse genres like Afrobeat, Dancehall, Reggae, Highlife, Piano and R&B while maintaining my signature Afro-Caribbean flair. It’s very important and that has been the signature, which has actually given an identity to the combination of what can be, as someone who thrives to represent for the entirety of what we are.”- GQ South Africa

Those perusing the history of Africa’s entanglement with Jamaican sound can anticipate frequent mention of Stonebwoy’s name. Throughout his career, the Ghanaian Afro-dancehall artist has connected sonic and cultural dots on a scale scarcely rivaled in Ghana’s music history. – Grammy.com, Blossom Maduafokwa

“Stonebwoy couldn’t be more direct on the song, with lines like: ‘You give me the energy, you be my life obsession/The way you move causing attention.’ Around him, the supple production by Dave Nunes gives way for his signature dancehall-fusion flow to mesh seamlessly with Ir Sais’ flare.” – Rolling Stone Africa, Ify Obi

The Ghanaian superstar thrilled an estimated 60,000 fans with a high-energy set packed with his signature blend of Afro-dancehall, reggae and Afrobeats hits, creating a record-setting turnout that transformed the stadium into a sea of lights, flags and celebration.\r\n\r\nAnticipation rippled through the audience as BHIM Nation faithful, music lovers, and international guests arrived to witness what had been billed as one of the defining concerts of the year. The atmosphere at the Accra Sports Stadium was electric, charged with excitement and the hum of eager conversations. The festival, long regarded as one of Ghana’s biggest live music events, reached new heights this year as fans filled the iconic venue for the sold-out celebration.\r\n\r\nThe star-studded night also featured guest performances from Nigeria’s legendary duo P-Square and Jamaican reggae artist Fantan Mojah, whose appearances amplified the excitement and underscored the festival’s international appeal.\r\n\r\nStonebwoy’s entrance set the tone for the evening. Poetic, bold and powerfully staged, he appeared on an elevated platform beneath a giant suspended gold crown, dressed in a sharp all-white outfit and crowned with a striking gold horned headpiece. A spotlight bathed the stage while fiery visuals burned across the screens, creating a dramatic and symbolic opening scene.\r\n\r\nThe performance opened on a deeply spiritual note with selections from Stonebwoy’s new EP “The Torcher,” including “Send Dem A Prayer,” “Torcher,” “Deeper,” “Outside Lifestyle,” “Samankudi,” and “Fire (Gidi Gidi).” He then moved into a socially conscious segment featuring songs such as “Run Go,” “Suit & Tie,” “Greedy Men,” and “Black People.” These politically reflective records address themes of injustice, leadership and the realities of modern African life. The audience responded with raised hands and passionate chants, reflecting the strong emotional connection between the artist and his supporters.\r\n\r\nThe show eventually shifted into full celebration mode as Stonebwoy delivered fan-favourite records including “Activate,” “Putuu,” “Sobolo,” “BHIM Nation,” “Pull Up,” and “Shine.” Each performance ignited huge sing-alongs, with the crowd dancing well into the early hours of the morning.\r\n\r\nThis year’s festival continued Stonebwoy’s tradition of delivering historic moments. In 2023, the “5th Dimension Homecoming Edition” attracted more than 55,000 fans to the same venue. Surpassing even that milestone, the 10th BHIM Festival has now firmly established itself as one of Africa’s largest independently organised music events. Beyond the impressive numbers, the festival carried emotional significance as it marked a decade of BHIM Nation culture and celebrated Ghanaian music on the world stage, as well as bridging the gap between Ghana and the Caribbean.\r\n\r\nWidely regarded as a pioneer of Afro-dancehall, Stonebwoy has consistently expanded Ghana’s musical footprint worldwide through international collaborations, global tours and a fiercely loyal fan base.\r\n\r\nWatch Part 1 of Stonebwoy’s performance on YouTube below.',NULL,NULL,NULL,1,'2026-04-16 16:29:52','2026-04-16 16:29:52','2026-04-16 16:29:52'),(2,'STONEBWOY LANDS IN SOUTH AFRICA FOR MAJOR CONTINENTAL TAKEOVER','stonebwoy-lands-in-south-africa-for-major-continental-takeover','posts/7koM0oF9HNLj6k2YfQnIuZ9CuITcJG6qE3LPUiMC.jpg','STONEBWOY LANDS IN SOUTH AFRICA FOR MAJOR CONTINENTAL TAKEOVER','

Global music icon, Stonebwoy, has landed in Johannesburg to embark on an exclusive media tour, marking the next phase of his continental takeover, following the successful release of his latest project, ‘’THE TORCHER,” which continues to gain traction across multiple streaming platforms.

‘’THE TORCHER“ has achieved remarkable success since its release, amassing over 10 million streams across all credits and solidifying its status as one of the standout African music releases of the year. Its lead single, ‘’Gidi Gidi,” reached No.1 on Apple Music Ghana Top 100. It also debuted at No. 40 on the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Chart and has surpassed one million views on YouTube. Additionally, two other songs from the album — ‘’Send Dem A Prayer” and “The Torcher” — each peaked at No. 1 on Apple Music Ghana Top 100, making it the first Ghanaian project released in 2025 to achieve three number-one songs in the country.

While in South Africa, the celebrated dancehall and reggae artiste will appear on several leading radio, TV, and digital platforms to engage fans and industry players, sharing insights about his new body of work, artistic growth, and plans for cross-border collaborations.

In addition to his media run, Stonebwoy will shoot a brand-new music video for a highly anticipated collaboration with Zambian hitmaker Yo Maps. The visual production—helmed by one of South Africa’s renowned directors—promises to blend rich African aesthetics with Stonebwoy’s energetic performance style, creating yet another continental masterpiece.

On THE TORCHER, Stonebwoy reaffirms his position as a leading force in Afro-dancehall, blending melody and message to showcase his artistic depth. The album balances introspection, triumph, and mentorship — from the soulful plea for peace on “Send Dem a Prayer” to the fiery confidence of “Torcher.” It celebrates success and self-assurance on tracks like “Outside Lifestyle” and “Samankudi,” while spotlighting Ghana’s new wave of talent through collaborations with Beeztrap Kotm, Yaw Tog, Agbeshie, and Keeny Ice. Ultimately, THE TORCHER stands as both a personal statement of resilience and a testament to Stonebwoy’s enduring influence on the African music landscape.
