there was a time i didn’t understand anything.
i moved back to Ghana at the end of 2024, and it hit me that i had been gone for 16 years bro. And standing there, i realized how much i had missed… how much i didn’t know. i was frustrated and angry at the gap, but i had to remind myself that it wasn’t my fault. life happened. school, career, chasing purpose. i even had a chance to come back in 2017, but i chose to go deeper into acting and film, to really commit to my path.
but something shifted.
when i came back in december 2024, i felt it clearly: this is where i’m supposed to be.
i returned to LA in january, sat with myself, and made a decision. while i’m still in my 20s, i owe myself the leap. the risk. the unknown. around that same time, i lost my uncle, and that loss pulled me back home again — for family, for grounding, for something deeper than ambition.
and in all of that and the funerals, the stillness, the questions, the rediscovery… i started uncovering who I really am.
i came back not just to be here, but to continue my music journey from a place that feels true.
“DUA PA” was born in that space of confusion, clarity, grief, growth… all at once. It’s the sound of pushing forward even when you don’t fully understand where you are yet.
