Ghanaian music scene is giving me the leverage and growth for my career – Crispen
Tipped as one of the budding highlights at last weekend’s TIDAL RAVE in Accra, Crispen surprised patrons when he had the opportunity to perform “Happiness” live on stage.
As a Zimbabwean, fusing into the Afrobeats conversation which is mostly a reserve of West Africans, Crispen was privileged to switch from doing RnB into the Afro sounds, courtesy Sky Entertainment who signed him and gave him the leveraging to spark his career.
For influences, Crispen mentioned Stonebwoy, Kuami Eugene, Larruso, and Fameye as some of his key Acts he keeps learning from to hone his career.
Crispen released his new song “Happiness” under Sky Entertainment, a Ghanaian music record label, and has been doing good with the single which came with a very colourful video to accentuate the song’s mood.
For Crispen, moving from Zimbabwe to getting signed in Ghana was one of the best things that happened to him and he admitted Ghana is giving him more exposure and push than he had back home in his country. According to him, he began doing music actively since 2018; but he almost lost it when he got discouraged along the way.
“I was left with just 2% of hope with my music career but Sky Entertainment changed everything and I don’t regret picking up music at all. Ghana is giving me all the support I need. And in my ‘Happiness’ son I even used Ga and Twi to align myself to my newfound Family and home here in Ghana. Shouts to my people back in Zimbabwe as well”, he added.

Speaking at the launch, Prophet Atarah said, God has been good throughout last year, and 2025 has started on a positive note.
Against this backdrop, he wants to bring believers together and, in unity, to praise God.
He said, like what happened last year, a lot of miracles will take place.
In a related development, Prophet Atarah also commissioned a new studio for rehearsals and live recordings.
