Some people do music for fun, others do it for the money, yet still some see music as their greatest gift to the world, using music to challenge the status quo and impact others. To such people, music means everything to them, and one such person is “THE SON” of Tupac.
“The Son” was born on the 24th of April 1988 in Ghana, West-Africa. The SON at a very young age realized that he had a true talent for music. As a young musical prodigy, he spent most of his time making beats with anything he could get his hands on while singing and rapping to the beats.
In 1995, he started writing songs, rapping and performing live to a wide range of audience.
He became one of the most recognized artistes in Ghana with his stylistic and dope lyrical flow that earned him the stage name “Son of Tupac”. As his fan base grew, his notoriety as ‘Son of Tupac’ also grew. He was so fierce on the mic that he could only be compared to the “late” legend himself – Tupac Shakur.
‘The SON’ graduated from the “Audio Institute Of America” in the year 2008. “Mr. Peter Miller” President of the school declared him the first and youngest African to pass the school exams within a short period of studies.
As a talented musician, writer, producer, promoter, and above all a music enthusiast, ‘The SON’ aims to perform to a worldwide audience with some of the industry’s biggest headline acts in the USA and elsewhere. His vision of becoming a multi-platinum award winning artiste, made him began working extra hard, promoting his own shows and reaching out to those that could help further his career.
For him, it is all about mood and a deep, hypnotic groove… playing those tracks that get you tapping your feet and nodding your head without realizing it, regardless of genre, tempo, style, or release date. The music icon was crowned overall winner of Hip Hop Song of the Year in 2017/2018 and 2019 at the “Ghana Music/Film Awards” and (Best Artist Of The Year: Fall 2019 & Winter 2020 Cygnus Radio, Iowa-USA). This special award from the USA earned him the title “International Super Star”.
Although “The Son” is pursuing his own career in music, he still dedicates time to helping others become better artistes through passion and purpose.
While adding more purpose to his journey he reached out to a young talent manager, Ms. Erwashundah Jacobs of “GoGetEmInc Entertainment” in the US. With his commitment and determination, it all worked out and they are currently working together. Today, Erwashundah Jacobs is working alongside Mr. Sean Rice (VP of Operation) in Atlanta, Georgia to make “The SON” aka “Son of Tupac” one of the hottest acts to come from out of Ghana, Africa.
Both managers have managed to get him several radio, blog and podcast interviews and several collaborations with some of the hottest acts creating buzz.
