Boy Nephron: The new hitmaker making waves at a fast pace
Boy Nephron, also known in private life as Charles Cleland Bruce is a fast-rising musician breaking into the industry at a fast pace.
His journey into the industry has been a long one, with him exploring his musical talents from a tender age and incorporating music into his life since childhood.
“I started trying out with different types of musical instruments at a tender age. As a kid I used to gather cooking utensils and milk containers which I played as my drum set,” He said.
He explored that talent further at Church, first beginning as a pianist at his home church and trying his hands on other instruments before finding his voice at the admiration of his church members with his vocals.
“The very first time I sang in church,” Nephron beams while looking back at that time, “everyone was taken by surprise because they only knew me as an instrumentalist, everyone was happy with my administration,” Boy Nephron said.
His path to music was threatened as Nephron was made to choose between pursuing his love for music professionally or abandoning it to focus on school.
He spoke candidly about that experience and how that has now led him to stand firmly both in music and nursing, saying; “Time came that I wanted to pursue music professionally, but I was advised to focus on my schooling which I did, and now I am also a qualified nurse.”
Two events almost derailed his music dream which were, the accident and the passing of his mum but due to his passion for music, he has been able to get back on his feet to continue focusing on his dreams.
All these events have inspired him to shift from dealing with things about ego to talking about grace and how things are going well for him.
The evolution of Boy Nephron, the man whom trials and tribulations found in the industry is out with two hit singles titled “Luv U Taya” and “Higher.” Along with an EP titled“Mr Luver with Grace” which features six songs; four love songs and two motivational songs that fans will love and relate to.
He’s also working with big names in the industry, with Nephron collaborating with Kelvynboy, Article Wan, and KristoffMWB in recent times.
Boy Nephron has been touted by industry players as the next big name in Ghana’s entertainment scene.

Ayisi teams up with Fameye for Highlife classic “Sika”
In a follow-up to his successful collaboration with Worlasi on “Everyday People,” Ayisi has once again partnered with prolific songwriter Fameye for a timeless highlife track titled “Sika,” which translates to “Money.”
This track is expected to make waves across Ghana and beyond, as it speaks to the universal pursuit of financial stability in a meaningful, melodious way.
Money, as Ayisi rightly points out, is a universal and never-ending topic of discussion. In “Sika,” both artists reflect on the role money plays in life and the lengths one must go to secure it.
Ayisi emphasizes a strong work ethic, noting that laziness will only lead to hunger and hardship. His message is clear: one must take action and pursue financial stability to navigate life successfully.
On the other hand, Fameye’s verse focuses on the idea of self-reliance when it comes to wealth. He highlights that becoming wealthy is something he must achieve on his own, without waiting for handouts or relying on others.
Fameye’s perspective complements Ayisi’s, creating a well-rounded narrative about ambition, responsibility, and financial independence.
“Sika,” produced by GroovyWrld, is deeply rooted in the classic highlife sound—a genre that has long been a cornerstone of Ghanaian music. The soulful melodies make it an instant classic that evokes a sense of nostalgia, while the contemporary twist keeps it fresh for today’s audience.
Ayisi, widely respected for his independent spirit and unique musical style, has typically preferred working alone, cultivating his own space in the industry. However, his recent collaborations signal a new chapter in his career, one that is more collaborative and expansive.
Through these collaborations, Ayisi is not only broadening his creative horizons but also offering his fans new and exciting musical experiences.
With “Sika,” Ayisi and Fameye remind us that while money may not be everything, the drive to earn and sustain oneself is essential to success.
