Ghanaian musician, Black Sherif, has shared how he earned international collaborations with some A-list singers in the creative arts industry.
In a sit-down interview with Patta, a brand outlet in The Netherlands, on September 17, 2025, Black Sherif noted that he believes he has not entered his collaborative phase yet.
According to the musician, most of his collaborations with singers, such as Burna Boy, Vic Mensa, and Fireboy DML, among others, were based on personal relationships with them.
“Funny enough, I don’t think I’ve fully entered my collaborative phase yet. Most of the songs I’ve done came from relationships. Someone sent me a track, and I vibed with it.
“But after this album, I want to travel, sit with artists, connect spiritually, and create. To me, music is spiritual. A perfect collaboration is when everyone’s spirit aligns on a track. That’s the kind of collab I’m chasing,” he said.
Black Sherif explains why sharing his vulnerability makes him stronger as an artiste
When asked what inspired his lyrical flow and artistry in his “Iron Boy” album, Black Sherif noted that most of the tracks on the album are his true-life challenges.
“It’s more elevated. Some of the beliefs I had two or three years ago. I am challenging them now. I have found new ways to be personal and vulnerable.
“There’s a song called One that talks about something that happened to my father last year that changed everything in my family. It’s a spiritual album. You’ll have to listen to it to feel what I’m saying,” he added.
