The King Promise story

Formerly known as Boy Pee, the singer made his mark in the music industry with songs like ‘So Special’ and ‘No Problem’ and worked his way up to where he is now. The soulful young singer has finally released his highly anticipated single, ‘Thank God’. He has managed to convince Fuse ODG; the English musician of Ghanaian descent to feature on his new track.

​He explains how it happened: “Killbeatz and myself were just ​grooving in the studio. It started off as a love song and he came up with the brilliant idea of ‘Thank God’ so we switched it up and wrote to it. Killbeatz then took a vacation to Miami in the USA where he was ​blasting ​t​he track, he was with Fuse ODG at the time and when Fuse heard it he loved it​,​ the rest ​as they say is history”, said King Promise​.​

Francis Newman; a businessman and Angela Quaye; a trader, are parents of the 23-year-old King Promise who attended De Kings Academy for his childhood education in Ghana before heading to the Nungua Senior High School located in the suburbs of Ghana’s capital city, Accra. His father heavily influences his musical career as he grew up listening to his dad play an eclectic genre of classical music.

This eclectic musical influence from his dad is reflected in his upcoming album which features a variety of genres from hip-hop to gospel, soul to R&B, and a subtle blend of African rhythms that beautifully complements the smooth voice of King Promise. Collaborations on the new album include Scientific, J-Town, Adina, Pappy Kojo, Fuse ODG, and other Ghanaian musicians with international recognition.

King Promise has already been featured on Killbeatz’s yet to be released debut album by way of a teaser single titled ‘Borkorborkor’ that hit the Ghanaian music scene in March 2016. For now, the artist’s the ‘Thank God’ song with Fuse ODG is doing phenomenal and promises to make him a force to be reckoned with on the 2016 music scene and beyond.

King Promise is signed to YB Records owned by Yasmin Behzadi and managed by Gervin Ohene Addo who handles music business for Fuse ODG, R2Bees, Killbeatz, Wizkid an artist of African descent that have acquired international recognition.
