King Promise
Gregory Bortey Promise Newman, popularly known as King Promise, is a Ghanaian singer and songwriter. He was born on August 16, 1995, in the capital city of Accra. Growing up, he absorbed many musical influences, including reggae, R&B, and the sounds of the Ghanaian highlife. This was driven in part by his father's diverse tastes in music, shaping King Promise's distinct sonic style. He began writing songs and collaborating with producers, officially releasing music in 2017 on different streaming platforms. His independent releases generated buzz in the local music scene, and very soon his music was being streamed by millions of listeners. Early songs such as "Oh Yeah," "Hey Sexy," and "Selfish" established him as a bonafide hitmaker in the scene, and his 2018 Wizkid collaboration, "Tokyo," went on to become a massive success on local radio. That same year, King Promise won Best Male Vocalist of the Year at the U.K. edition of the Ghana Music Awards. In 2019, he released his debut full-length album, As Promised. This album included songs such as the incredibly popular single "Commando," which displayed his Afrobeats-influenced style. King Promise's second full-length album titled 5 Star was released in 2022 and featured cameos by Omah Lay, Headie One, Patoranking, Chance the Rapper, and Vic Mensa. In 2023, King Promise released the single "Terminator," which was followed by a remix with Nigerian musician Young John.
