Who made the rules in Afrobeats? Tempoe doesn't think anyone should be following them anyway.
Our first Short Cut is live now — Tempoe on the danger of repeating your own success, the blank canvas approach, and why he barely listens to the genre he's helping shape.

Our latest episode is a fascinating one. I was joined by author and ethnomusicologist Doye T. Agama to discuss his book The Sound That Would Not Die — the story of West African music and how it shaped the sound of the world.
From Blues and Jazz to Afrobeats and Amapiano — one unbroken thread, running for centuries.
Episode 28 is live now on the channel. 🎙️

A special conversation coming soon…
I recently had the privilege of sitting down with Ghanaian musician, producer, arranger and multi-instrumentalist Kwame Yeboah for an episode of Afro Soul Stories.
From growing up surrounded by Ghana’s highlife traditions, studying music and harmony in Denmark, to building an international career working with artists including Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens), Craig David, Ebo Taylor, Pat Thomas, Sola Akingbola and many more — Kwame’s journey is a remarkable story of talent, resilience and cultural connection.
We talked about music, memory, the African diaspora, his debut album In His Own Time, and why artist ownership and meaningful connections with fans matter in the streaming era.
Episode coming soon.
