Biography

[edit]

Raised in Dansoman. A suburb of the Greater Accra region (Ghana), he is popularly known in entertainment circles as M3DAL, the young chap who believes in Making Every Decision A Legacy. It is upon this couch phrase that he fought his way through and made a mark on the Ghanaian entertainment scene after completing St. Bernadette High School in 2009.

M3DAL exposed his interest and affection for music at an early age. However, his career began shaping up from Mfanstipim when he teamed up with a group named boothcamp and performed at most of the school’s events.

The professional turn around was when he went solo after completing Mfanstipim and released singles with acts such as: Edem, EL, Gemini, C real, J Town, Fareed and many more. Revolva was his start up name after which he switched to Hotjam.

Today, he operates with the name M3DAL, one of the young hip hop artists in the country. The young man says the power and the drive the name gives him made him know the name was perfect. He now works with producers DREDW, SENYOCUE AND PEEWEZEL to create groundbreaking Music For his new Label.


In 2017 she released her first single, "Legend", with just her voice and acoustic guitar. A tribute to Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt,[2] the song became a viral Instagram hit.[citation needed] Awareness of the violence and social problems she witnessed growing up has influenced her lyrics, and besides Protoje and Chronixx she has cited Super Cat and Giggs among her musical inspirations. [3] [4]

"Burning", her take on Upsetta Records' Ouji Riddim (which had been made popular by Jamaican artists Busy Signal and Luciano), followed. "Burning" grew out of her desire to inspire herself to push forward despite disappointment at not getting into post-secondary Sixth Form after she graduated from Ardenne High School. In June it spent three weeks at number one on The Foundation Radio Network's Top 30 Reggae Chart covering New York City and South Florida[5].

In 2018, Jamaican reggae/dancehall singer, songwriter, and DJ Cocoa Tea brought her on stage at Rebel Salute. Protoje asked her to perform with him. Chronixx invited her to join him a BBC Radio 1Xtra broadcast from Tuff Gong Studios, and she went on to tour with him in the UK[6] at venues such as Bush Hall and at Alexandra Palace. Koffee and Chronixx appeared on BBC Music Introducing...LIVE on November 10.[citation needed]

Her December 2018 single "Raggamuffin" called out gun violence and governmental neglect of the youth[7]. BBC Radio 1Xtra named Koffee one of its "Hot for 2019" artists[8]. Her next single, "Toast", was produced by Walshy Fire of Major Lazer[9]. Both Chronixx and Protoje appear in the video.[2]

Also in 2018, she signed with Columbia Records UK,[5] and Rapture, her debut EP on the label, was released on March 14,[10] [11] 2019 [12]. Her "Throne" video, which takes viewers on a tour through her home town of Spanish Town, debuted on The Fader on 22 January 2019[13].
