For rising Ghanaian musician Kojo Swain, music is more than just a creative outlet—it is the path he feels destined to follow. Although he is currently navigating the industry as an independent artiste, his ultimate ambition is to join a major record label, with Lynx Entertainment topping his wish list.
Swain, whose real name is Mbreye Kojo Baffoe, sees a label signing as the gateway to wider recognition and growth. He has already tried reaching out to Richie Mensah, the head of Lynx, but has not yet received a response. Still, he remains optimistic that an opportunity to share his work will come his way.
While collaborations with top-tier artistes are yet to materialize, Swain hopes to work with industry figures such as Kuami Eugene and Lasmid, whose artistry he deeply respects. His persistence has already opened new doors—just last week, what began as a routine visit to promote his music unexpectedly turned into his first live performance. That impromptu set boosted his confidence and reinforced his determination to pursue music full-time.
Swain’s official entry into the recording scene came only two weeks ago with the release of his debut project, In Love. The four-track EP reflects his shift from rap to singing, a transition that allowed him to discover a more authentic expression of his artistry.
Like many emerging artistes, financing his career has been a major challenge. Without sponsorship or label support, he has had to fund his music and performance opportunities himself. Despite these obstacles, he is focused on consistency, building his brand, and attracting the right partners who can elevate his music to a global audience.
Beyond music, Swain is a trained accountant, but while his profession provides stability, it is his passion for melodies that drives him forward. With his EP released and his first taste of live performance behind him, he believes this is only the beginning of a journey that could eventually lead to stardom.
