Pure Akan

In 2017, when Pure Akan's debut album Onipa Akoma dropped, the response was swift. It was received with awe-inspiring praises and termed an instant classic. Both fans and critics knew he had more to prove but it was his ability to weave storytelling, poetry, folklore and indigenous Ghanaian rhythms into a culturally significant body of work that secured him a spot in the minds of music lovers.

Often caught dipping into prodigious fusions of highlife, Hiplife and Rap to deliver a refreshing sound that is unique to his Ghanaian roots, Pure Akan continues to use music as a canvas to paint stories while shifting culture. He hails from Kwahu in the Eastern side of Ghana and cites Osibisa, Obrafour, J.A Adofo and Okomfour Kwadee among the wide range of other great Ghanaian musicians he listened as a child. He is distinctive at the use of Twi (a widely spoken Ghanaian language) which has gained him a fond likeness from fans and respect among his peers.

He is not only admired for his command over the Twi language as it might seem, he is also known for his electrifying performances that will sweep you off your feet.
Over the past few years, Akan has mastered his art and the evidence shows in his consistent delivery of refreshing sounds and eye pleasing music videos that compliments his music. Infact all his videos so far have been self directed, a true master artist.
He currently has two album and an E.P to his credit and his latest addition is Nyame Mma, a thematic project that is remidnful of a storytelling by the fireside
where African stories are told.

If there is one artist in recent times that embodies artistry with true Ghanaian originality, that is easily Pure Akan and he is doing this so effortlessly while blending music and culture perfectly.
