Tiliboy
Born on January 1st, a day celebrated globally, Tiliboy, legally known as Ish Thompson, began bridging cultural divides from an early age in his native Ghana and beyond. Raised in a Christian paternal family and a Muslim maternal family, he grew up influenced by both faiths, which deeply embed music and singing into their core.
His youth was marked by a strong connection to traditional music and dance, leading him to express himself artistically from a young age—whether through singing, drawing, or performing small skits. This passion led to performances in three countries, including a memorable show at the Classic Sommernacht Festival in Bitterfeld, Germany, in front of 1,500 spectators alongside dancers and opera singers, as well as performances at Holästei in Glarus, Switzerland, and back home in Ghana.
Tiliboy's career is distinguished by his versatility; he has made notable contributions not only in the music scene but also in film and theater. He founded the AAMA Theatre NGO to provide opportunities to young adults through theater and film education and has gained recognition for his role in founding Ish TV Production on YouTube and his work on various award-nominated films between Ghana and Nigeria.
Currently, Tiliboy is working on a new EP titled "Kaakpa," which translates to "Don't Stop" in English. This EP is a manifesto for perseverance and passion—a central theme that reflects Tiliboy’s own journey and African joie de vivre. Additionally, several singles are in preparation, along with an exciting feature with the artist Raja Flame.
Redwan Fyahwan
The coastland town of Kokrobite, Ghana, West Africa saw the birth of talented musician Redwan Fyahwan. His roots steeped in the tradition of music through his father, who was a successful musician with the credited position of authority as C.O. with the Academy of African Music and Art saw Redwan filled with passion to be a singer/musician who would make a difference in a world where inequality reigned.
While honing his art as a Reggae artist, Redwan Fyahwan also was a familiar face in the Church Choir. Inspired with his motivation and drive, his goals were determinedly focused on making his mark in the world of music, singing his original soul awakened songs.
Growing up in Ghana, it became evident that money was the ingredient to record his songs, so faced with choices this incredible artist proved his talent to be of note as he competed for attention in the streets.
The decision to travel to Switzerland in 2011, where he currently resides, proved that his stage presence testified to his origins.
Catalytic events unfolded with the powerful collaboration in the studio of DJ Fink who was the producer of the songs that were first released to a global fan base. Synchronicity of circumstances saw the next stage of his evolvement, as a Reggae artist when Redwan Fyahwan became a part of the Swiss Reggae label, Gideon Productions.
Touring with Lifted Selection Sound through Switzerland together with mentoring with Max Rubadub in the Soundmax Studio ushered in his career as a recording artist in 2012. Launching his musical talents was born of the natural desire to be a GameChanger and through his unbelievable talent he is now providing the Swiss reggae scene with an act that is causing a stir internationally.
Raja Flame
Christened Roger Kwame Selorm (Kujdawo), the family never knew their 22nd January birthday son was instinctively growing up in the norms and do's of music celebrities to one day alter his Christian name with a colloquial spelling tag by changing it from Roger to Raja (and even connect his brand surname to the fire element --- Flame) until in his mid teen years when he freely hit the music highway and found it to be a destined one way ticket journey with no return plans. Roger Kwame Selorm is now famed in showbiz circles as Raja Flame, still seriously living and working his musical essences up the legendary ladder.
Sort of sold out to the inescapable forces of music, as he is deeply immersed into it full mind, young Raja Flame might have taken a solemn vow inside to make a very meaningful impact with his immersion such that he neither takes a pause nor makes a stop exploring the endowed depth of his amusing talent since the production and outdooring of his first official studio cut.
Growing up in Ghana on the capital Accra (Mamprobi, his precise childhood address), kid Raja Flame's ever-receptive ears got lucky being excessively shot at with blasts of all kinds of music coming from corner pubs, discotheques, passing vehicles, neighbours, family and radio sets on a daily basis. Any child with a strong predisposition for a future musical career growing up in any part of Mamprobi, as a noisy music-loving community without any form of genre discrimination, would be forced into genre choice confusion due to the daily attractive blasting of several all of music, but teen Raja Flame rightly found a double major in reggae and dancehall. He surely knows music is dynamic and it is smart of a musician to move to the demands of the era in order not to get parked aside by music stakeholders and consumers, so Raja is on a constant watch for latest industry dynamics ----- this he is doing to one maintain an evergreen nature and two to stay abreast with new practices until voluntary retirement.
