\u201cThis deal marks another stride forward in bringing my music to the global stage via ADA\u2019s network,\u201d Stonebwoy shared.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy aim has always been to unite people through the fusion of African music (Afrobeats), Reggae, Dancehall, RnB, and Hip Hop. They say creativity flourishes in freedom, so owning my creativity is essential for me to make a meaningful contribution to the global music landscape.\u201d<\/p>\n

Casey Kobia, Stonebwoy\u2019s Talent Manager, said, \u201cI\u2019m glad on behalf of KVO Talent to have brokered this global partnership between Warner Music\u2019s ADA Worldwide and Stonebwoy\u2019s label Burniton Music Group. The energy and excitement from the team at ADA since our first conversation has been just what is required to unlock the next chapter in Stonebwoy\u2019s journey and I am grateful to have him join this family \u2013 special thanks to April Pope and Bryan Roberts for making this happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hailing from Ashaiman, Ghana, Stonebwoy\u2019s music brings together a dynamic mix of afrobeats, reggae, and dancehall influences. <\/p>\n

His hit single \u201cBlessing\u201d garnered over one million views on YouTube within 24 hours of its debut, making him the quickest<\/p>\n

Ghanaian artist to achieve that milestone on the platform, and he just recently became the first Ghanaian artist to rack up 100 million streams on Audiomack.<\/p>\n

A critically-acclaimed talent, Stonebwoy is a featured artist on Jamaican reggae band Morgan Heritage\u2019s Grammy-nominated album Avrakedabra, and his long list of collaborators also includes heavyweights such as Burna Boy, Stormzy, Keri Hilson, Sean Paul, Trey Songz, and more. <\/p>\n

Stonebwoy has taken home numerous awards throughout his career, including Best International Act at the BET Awards and Artist of the Year at the Ghana Music Awards.<\/p>\n
