Henrykvsh drops his official Ep title “KNOWWHERE”

Grammy nomination was released recently and Nigerian artistes got a sizeable recognition; the most from Africa.

This is an indication in how well we have performed on the global scenes with albums from Bxnx, Asake, Fireboy and EP from Olamide getting a deserving buzz around the globe.

 Soon to join the rank of artistes topping charts and bagging nominations is HenryKvsh who is set to dropped his EP “KNOWWHERE” on the 1st of November, 2024. We sat with the fast rising artiste to speak about his confidence in himself and in his African root.

In our discussion, he said he got the inspiration for his name from the Kush/nubia kingdom. He spoke about how their culture and history, especially coming from Africa inspires him.  He said, “Africans are always looked down on and to think we have one of the first civilizations in the world is something to be proud of.

Speaking about his style of music, he said, “I do  afrobeat  mixed with Afrotrap; I call it afrotrapkin”. The boldness to define his style, knowing it is a unique niche of Afrobeat is inspiring, but HenryKvsh has always been a person who refused to be boxed in a corner which is why the EP was an leverage on the elements of Afrobeats to create a masterpieced Afrotrapkin.

He said, “Afrobeat has opened the door, and now that the world is watching it is time to show them we can actually entertain.  And what better way to do it, if not by showing them other elements from our sounds which they are yet to experience”. “Africans are immense when it comes to entertainment; it is a lifestyle for us.

The amount of money we spend on Owambe parties and lifestyle is evident, you cannot be dull around an average African. This is why Africans are doing greate across the globe and our music is equally penetrating the global market effortlessly.”

HenryKvsh whose real name is Owueka Odili Henry, a graduate of Auchi polytechnic, spoke so boldly, you can feel his roots and growing up in every statement he makes about himself and his root. Although a Delta indigene, but he was born and raised in Auchi, Edo state; and we know how those two states are culture oriented and how their history echoes from ancient civilizations. We are rooting for HenryKvsh.
