• Black Sherif, who gained fame at a young age, shares his success and the importance of having a strong creative team in his music career.

Ghanaian hip-hop star Black Sherif has shared insights into his musical journey, revealing that he spent 15 months writing music before stepping into a recording studio for the first time.

In a recent interview on Apple Music 1, the 24-year-old singer, who recently dropped his new single Sacrifice and album IRON BOY, spoke about his early experiences with music and how he gradually found his place in the industry. He emphasized the importance of a strong creative team in helping to drive his success.

Black Sherif, born Mohammed Ismail Sherif Kwaku Frimpong, discussed how his passion for art began at a young age, even before he started recording music.

He said:

“Since childhood, I’ve been an artist. I didn’t have my voice on wax or anything, but I was exploring everything that was interesting, in the most artistic way. We used to do bike rides—BMX freestyles—and go dance at weddings on the weekends.

“It was just figuring out what I wanted to follow within entertainment. That was when I started writing music, for 15 months, before going to the studio for the first time. Then coming out of high school, I tried to follow this thing by really hustling it!”

He went on to reveal how these early experiences laid the foundation for his musical career and success.

Black Sherif initially gained widespread attention in 2021 with his song First Sermon, marking the beginning of his rise in the music industry. He also discussed his decision to drop his former stage name, Blacko, in favor of Black Sherif as part of his evolution as an artist.
