Sony Music West Africa signs rising star Asomacy
Emerging Ghanaian artist Asomacy has secured a deal with Sony Music West Africa through The Pep Entertainment (TPE).
The development was made public on Thursday via Sony Music West Africa facebook page and follows the recent TikTok success of his single ‘Why’ which went viral on social media, particularly TikTok.
At the label, he joins the likes of Ghana’s Gyakie, F3lineofficial, Mayorkun among others.
In an interview, music executive Kwadwo Amoah (Pep Junia), who leads TPE, said they decided to pitch camp with Sony Music West Africa because the company offered the best pathway for the artist and boasts a proven track record for new voices.
He noted,”I have been working with him for some time now, and after travelling across the country with him as an opening act for rapper Kofi Mole, his potential as a consummate act became even more apparent to me.”
According to the musician, the milestone represents a major leap in his career, adding that it will amplify his vision to learn, explore and release new music. “I believe this step will elevate everything we do to make that dream happen.”
Born and raised in Kumasi, Asomacy’s passion for music was fostered by his elder siblings, who played music loudly at home during his childhood. He started writing his own songs at 12, and he started pursuing music professionally at 15.
On what the future holds for him, Asomacy, who draws inspiration from his life experiences and societal events, said: “Whatever the future holds for me depends on how much work and effort I put in today, so, I will keep doing what I’ve always loved.”
The singer has also released the video for his viral single “Why”, watch the video below;

The fourth edition of the fast-rising fashion and cultural event, the Slit and Kaba Festival, is set to take place on May 1 at the Legon City Mall in Accra.
Organised by Roots Africa, the festival aims to promote Ghanaian culture through the traditional Kaba and Slit outfit, known for its vibrant African prints and unique designs.
Speaking to The Spectator Agoro ahead of this year’s edition, dubbed “Old School Kaba and Slit Meets Batakari,” the Founder of Roots Africa, Mrs. Deborah Kabutey-Djisah, popularly known as Manye Korngo, said the event has gained significant popularity over the years and promised an even bigger experience this time around.
“The intention is to revive old-school fashion while celebrating our revered Fugu, also known as Batakari, which has gained massive exposure in recent times,” she stated.
“It is also an opportunity to showcase our culture and demonstrate to young people how fashion has evolved over the years,” she added.
She further called on vendors to come on board to display their products and services, noting that thousands of patrons are expected to attend the event.
“Don’t miss the chance to have your brand featured on our flyers, make incredible sales, and be part of an unforgettable experience,” she urged.
According to her, the previous edition was a great success, attracting patrons from across the country. Due to the growing interest, a larger venue had to be secured to accommodate the anticipated crowd.
“I’m expecting ten times more people than we had at last year’s festival,” she added.
