Ghanaian musician Black Sherif has narrated how he put his tertiary education on hold and went against his mother’s wishes to pursue his passion for music.
In an interview with a New York-based TikToker, the “Kwaku the Traveller” hitmaker recalled that in 2019, his mother wanted him to enroll in university, but he insisted on using that time to focus on his music career.
“It was challenging, but I saw a future in it. I had a whole year to prove to my parents that this was something that I wanted to do. And I proved that,” he added.
Black Sherif further expressed gratitude to his mother for her eventual support, saying, “She’s proud of that. She’s proud of me.”
When asked if he had turned any childhood dreams into reality, he revealed that he had always wanted to be a performer, whether as a graffiti artist or a musician.
“Now I sing, so it’s like a childhood dream come true,” he said with a smile.
Black Sherif has quickly risen to fame with his unique blend of Afrobeat, drill, and highlife music, earning both local and international recognition.
