Sarkodie, born as Michael Kwesi Owusu Addo, began his music career as an underdog rapper in Ghana. In 2010, he had several collaborations and earned numerous accolades and nominations, which enabled him to expand internationally. He has toured the U.S.A and U.K. and released his fifth studio album Black Love on December 20, 2019. It features guest artist such as Mr Eazi, Efya, Donae’o, Idris Elba, Stonebwoy, Tekno, Maleek Berry, King Promise and Kizz Daniel.

Ahead of his album release, I worked alongside Sarkodie’s UK manager to promote the album and lend support wherever needed.

The work included:

  • support his main manager in everyday tasks/admin
  • figuring out new ideas for image building in the UK
  • organizing the music video for the single below and ensuring everything runs smoothly on the shoot day (which being the hottest day of the year in a building without AC)

Blaine Cameron Johnson, known as Cadet, was a London based rapper, songwriter and producer. As Krept’s cousin, Cadet entered the music business back in 2006 through being part of Krept and Konan’s crew. Since then, he started to release his own tracks and finally garnered general interest in 2018, when he partnered up with Deno for “Advice“.

At the end of 2018, I started working with Cadet’s manager. Unfortunately, only a few months later, Blaine lost his life in a car accident on the way to a show. We tried our best to let his memory live on through his music and videos shot prior.

 

He was due to perform at Wireless Festival in London, which we turned into a tribute with his family and friends.

Thank you for joining us at the #Cadet tribute today. Forever a RATED legend. 🙏💙 pic.twitter.com/qic4352UIf
