Obeng's tracks available on iTunes!
Obeng was born in 1978 in Ghana. His parents divorced when he was only five years old and Obeng was adopted by his uncle. When he was small, Obeng used to turn everything his hands could find into a drum and play a beat on it. His parents and uncle saw the potential in him and always used to say "You will grow up to be a musician". He used to participate in almost every talent show in school and his locality.
Obeng has made up his mind to write songs with his friend and artist, Papa Yogie. Says Obeng, "With God on my side, the sky's the limit."

Obeng's musical influences are varied. He grew up listening to lots of hip-hop, R'n'B, ragga & the Ghanaian music known as High Life. He listens to many recording artists including R. Kelly, Usher, Binny Man, Shaggy and Jah Rule. Obeng says "Blending R'n'B with ragga is what I enjoy doing." |
