Stonebwoy on Fusing Afrobeat and Dancehall in 'UP & RUNNIN6'

The Ghanaian superstar shares insights on growth, influence, and why his mission has only just begun.

Stonebwoy’s global influence as one of Ghana’s most celebrated music stars stems from his unique sound, a fusion of Afrobeat, Dancehall, Reggae, Highlife, Amapiano, and R&B. With a record-breaking 20 awards in 2024 alone, the 36-year-old’s reputation as a musical trailblazer continues to grow as he brings diverse sounds to audiences worldwide without losing touch with their origins. Unlike his last album, 5th Dimension, which leaned toward modern, futuristic sounds, UP & RUNNIN6 taps into “authentic original sounds.” With nostalgic rhythms and beats, he’s crafted a record that merges the old and new, blending these with current Afrobeat and dancehall influences.
