Stonebwoy released his first radio track “Makuma” (My Heart) in his second year at Senior High School and several others later that same year. By his third year, he had acquired himself a stable underground popularity and was thereby able to release another track titled “Empress” which held him up even after leaving school in 2007. After that, things have happened in quick succession and Stonebwoy started work with S24 studios, the studio responsible for hits from artists such as Samini, Tic Tac, Kwaw Kese, Okomfuor Kwaade, Afro Moses, Buk Bak to name a few. There he met Samini in 2008 and clicked.
Stonebwoy has been building up his repetoire of major artists that he has shared stages with and the 30th December 2011 show at the Accra International Conference Centre, The Dome was no different. Stonebwoy performed at the “Resolution 2012” put together by Badhabbits Entertainment which hosted Ghanaian artists such as Black Prophet, Eazzy, Edem, Castro, Iwan, Jupiter, Kaakie, Samini and Sonniballi and featured International acts such as Kiprich and Busy Signal.
Prior to Stonebwoy’s album launch, three new singles featuring Irene Logan “Ghetto Love”, Edem “Above The Sky” and Tinny “Onumadé” received and are still receiving a lot of airplay, not just in Ghana but in Europe, especially in Italy and Spain as well. Under the management of Samini Music, Stonebwoy released his much awaited debut album called ‘Grade #1′ on 6th March 2012 to coincide with Ghana’s 56th Independence Day and his birthday weekend. Along with the most played track Climax, some of the other tracks on the album include the popular Rat Race, Rudegyal, Pullback, Crazy and more.
Stonebwoy brands himself as the “Prince of African Dancehall” and goes with a baritone music descant – ‘BHIIM’ – which has gradually caught the lips of most of his fans in Ghana and beyond. With his first album ‘Grade #1′ to his credit, he is looking forward to climbing international stages and handling other music projects with all acts across the globe.
He connected with Jamaica’s Karamanti in August 2012 and featured her on his song X-Factor which is currently being played on Jamaican radio and other stations in the Caribbean.

In "Therapy" by Stonebwoy, the singer addresses issues of trust and honesty in romantic relationships. With lyrics like "Is it because I buy you designer? / Way make you feel like say I done do wayo" and "If you gon' believe them lies / Baby, just you realize / That's on me, yes / On me," he highlights the feeling of not being trusted by a partner and their decision to believe rumors or lies about him. However, despite this issue, Stonebwoy admits that the feeling he gets when his partner lies to him is therapeutic and compares it to a kind of peace or release.
