They received a nomination at the 2013 BET Awards. Site 15 was the title of the band’s third studio album, which was released in March 2019.
Both were born and reared in Tema, which is located in Ghana, West Africa, and is located east of Accra, the nation’s capital city. While Paedae serves as the company’s CEO and leader, Mugeez is in charge of vocal performance for the band.
The two cousins, who have spent their whole lives together, have lived in the same home and gone to the same elementary, junior, and senior secondary schools in Tema. They have been close throughout their lives.
They got a head start on their career by competing for their school in rap competitions as well as interschool music competitions when they first began out. This resulted in them taking part in the well-known radio competition Kasahare, which they won the majority of and in which they also played at the majority of the events, so generating more buzz for them under their stage name at the time.
Camp Yard is one of the primary reasons why R2bees are regarded as legends in the Ghanaian music business. This is mostly due to the huge remarkable accomplishments that they have achieved.
In August of 2008, R2Bees released their first song, which was named “Yawa Gal.” The record was an immediate success. After that, they went on to release “I Dey Mad,” which quickly became the most popular song in Ghana. Unda Melodies were included in the song ‘I Dey Mad.’ The song spent many weeks at the top of the majority of the Ghanaian Radio Music Charts.

Rapper King Paluta, real name Thomas Adjei Wireko, grew up in the Kumasi neighbourhood of Atonsu Bokuro.
He was raised by a single mother, and thanks to her guidance, he has become a rap superstar.
King Paluta was signed to an unnamed record label in 2012. Before that, he had worked for a number of other companies. A lot was promised to Thomas by this label with sugar-coated lips.
It was sometime in 2004 that he released his first demo. In addition, he was unable to record any new tracks until 2008, which is over four years after he had previously been able to do so due to financial restrictions.
That is when he first came into contact with Abismall and Owuraku (Phills Bright). These two individuals first provided him with studio exposure. They offered him the opportunity to make a guest appearance on one of their songs.
But despite how serious he is, he never let his nightmares put him to sleep. The King participated in street rap battles beginning in 2007 and continuing until 2011. After knocking people down with his poetic punches over and over again, he got a lot of attention because of it. The most positive aspect of it is that he will take your supporters as well as the money that is at risk.
Pages Burner, who is now known as Amerado, Paluta Tawiah, who is now known as King Paluta, and Phaize Gh are the three artists that comprised the rap trio 3XP. King Paluta, along with two other men who were also involved in rapping, devised the name of the group.
The band broke up because of disagreements between its members, but its members went on to have successful solo careers after its short existence.
Let’s skip forward, In 2016, the two of them realized that they might be of assistance to one another, and that’s when they introduced themselves to one another.
Due to his dedication and perseverance, NKZ Music Boss Nana Yaw Maradona took notice of him (Guru). After some time, he became a member of the NKZ Music group and released his first tune after becoming a member of the label.
After a few years, for reasons having to do with his health as well as other personal reasons that cannot be discussed, he once again severed his ties with the NKZ.
He then moved on to pursue a career as an independent artist, which turned out to be the best choice he has ever made.

What is your real name?
Nichole McCulloch
What’s your official showbiz name?
Sadie Nix
How did you get into music?
I have always been into music since I was little, both writing and singing. The first band I was in when I was around 7, was with my friend, and we called it “Mixed Colors.” We used to dance and sing along to Janet Jackson and En Vouge, but funnily enough, we were never signed to a deal. However, it wasn’t until I was 33 that I picked up the guitar for the first time, and it wasn’t until a few years later that I really started to write again.
Sadie Nix Looking All Sassy On Her Debut Single “Taylor Case” (That Means You) (2)
What field or genre are you into, and how would you describe it?
I categorize music into two categories: music that moves and music that does not. and this will be different for everyone. When someone says they don’t like, for example, “country” music, I find it so hard to believe you can write off an entire genre of music. I want music to make me dance, cry, and get excited about going out, and if it does that, then it is good music for me. The great thing is that those feelings are different for everyone, which is the exciting part of the music.
Do you have any role models you admire? Why the reason(s)?
There are so many people out there doing amazing things, but women who are writing, producing, and owning their images really inspire me. Artists like Carly Pearce, Taylor Swift, and Phoebe Bridgers.
They are putting out songs that tell stories that mean something to their fans and themselves. Then looking to the past, women like Dolly Parton, Carole King, Blondie, Pattie Smith, Annie Lenox, and Madonna are examples of women who have paved the way.
What do you look out for in this line of business?
Authenticity is it for me.
What are some of the challenges you face in your career path?
The biggest challenge is having a full-time job in addition to putting out and marketing music. Unfortunately, independent artists have a hard time generating income in this climate, so in order to be able to put out my music, it is essential, at least for now, to be working.
The other thing is that marketing has changed so much. I am terrible at social media, and things like micro-content and Instagram marketing strategies take my time away from creating music.
How do you feel the Internet has impacted the music business?
I think it has had both a positive and negative impact. On the upside, more people are able to put out amazing music without having to have a deal or afford studio time, and that is amazing.
But about 60,000 songs are added to Spotify every day, making the competition tougher than ever. It has also made music easier to get rid of. The focus is on singles, not albums, short songs to fit TikTok; and the journey of discovering new artists is sometimes more focused on how many social media followers you have than on the quality of the music itself.
Do you have any advice for aspiring songwriters?
Just do it. The biggest thing I have struggled with. I’m still struggling with trying to write a perfect song, not just a song.
If you try to write a hit every time you sit down, you will never write. Write every day, even if it is bad, doesn’t make sense, or you don’t want anyone else to hear it. Perfection is not attainable, and thank God because perfect is boring!!
What is the topic of your current project?
I think this project is a reflection on previous relationships from when I was younger, thinking retrospectively about them with a more mature lens. I won’t lie, it isn’t the happiest of records, but in many ways, it is freeing because, when you are in the middle of these life events where you feel you can’t breathe and you will never surface for air, knowing that it will be ok in the end, allows a different perspective when you are writing.
What are your hobbies?
Funnily enough, I love going to gigs and listening to new artists. I also love sports, both playing and watching!
What do you do aside from this profession?
I run my own business as my full-time job and am a happy mother to three cats.
What is one message you would give to your fans?
“It’s never too late for now.” Sorry for the bad “30 Rock” reference. In all seriousness, the message is sound. I sat on my dream of writing and performing our music for nearly 25 years because I thought I hadn’t earned the right to do it or it was too late for me.
It took a global pandemic to wake me up, which is crazy. I hope that no matter what your dreams or desires in life are, it doesn’t take another global pandemic for you to realize them. Life is far too short to not do what makes you happy.

The lyrics of the song recount the narrative of a breakup between two people, in which one of them has been duped by the other, and the other is walking away from the relationship, “wishing them well,” which may be seen as a sort of sarcastic statement.

Know More About Clifford And His Latest Release “Close To Me”
What were your first project and the people you worked with and which year?
Thus far I’ve worked alone on my music. I write, produce and perform all of it myself.

Ben says “‘Kissing Her, Missing You’ is about a phase in my life where I’d just moved to another country to pursue music and had to break up with my first girlfriend, as we couldn’t handle the long distance.
I started dating around and using dating apps but all of the attempts left me feeling empty, as I just wanted one specific person, no matter how beautiful, smart or funny anyone else was. It’s about attempting to get under someone to get over someone else and completely failing”.
Ben opens up about mental health, supporting self-expression, and assisting others in discovering beauty in adversity through his music.

Taken off his forthcoming “A Likeness Complicit” EP is “Old Haunts” as Restless Modern intends to convey self-responsibility and an uneasy desire for self.
He talks about how we as people live in a damaged world, and collective self-reflection reveals that we are all culpable in some way.

Restless brings unique energy into this tune and to make it better is his confidence level and how he conveys his emotions.
Restless Modern is a 25-year-old Wisconsin-based producer, vocalist, and songwriter. Born in Denver, but reared in the Midwest near Chicago.
Restless Modern polished his abilities and built a distinct vision for his artist project over the course of a year by releasing over 30 tracks commercially.
Restless Modern’s signature is an instinctive blend of controlled anarchy, sharp lyrical wit, stunningly gorgeous sonics, and approachability that contradicts his music’s genuine and profound content.

Theo Tams Has His "Tongue Tied" To This New Single
Theo Tams, a singer and composer from Canada, recently released a new single that he calls “Tongue Tied.”
Tams and his boyfriend broke the news to their families that they were engaged, but they were not overjoyed by the news. As a result, Tams and his boyfriend’s family gave birth to this light and airy pop music with R&B overtones.
The exuberance that Theo displays in this song demonstrates that he has it all, particularly in terms of how much control he has over his voice and how much force it carries.
On his recently released extended play (EP), the Canadian singer-songwriter displays a stunning command of R&B-tinged pop music, with his silky voice serving as the unchanging beacon of light.
His composition is still at the forefront of this new pop style, but he is peeling away layers in novel ways. The listener is led through velvety landscapes by his slender voice, while the music drowns the senses with its abundance of intimate lyricism and beauty.
Theo Tams appears to have arrived at his destination in life because he is no longer ashamed to be himself in public. In the meantime, my best wishes go out to him!

Timebelle Adds Her Voice To The Ongoing War With ’96
Sensational Switzerland singer, Timebelle has dished out this new song she tags ’96 where she adds her voice to the ongoing Russia and Ukraine war.
96 is the story of a young boy who grows up and struggles to find his place in the wide, terrifying world.
It’s a strange world to him, full of restrictions and pressures that push him to ignore himself and accept trivial, worldly ideals which had nothing to do with him.
She actually wrote this song with Runa and produced by Andy Platon and Runa says that “‘96 is not a year chosen randomly, it is the year in which Ukraine gave up the last nuclear warhead in exchange for Russia’s promise of never attacking Ukraine. The betrayed adult, who now lives in the real world, where people are constantly hurting and betraying each other, wants to go back in time to correct this mistake made in ’96, which today created this apocalyptic scenario”
Timebelle followed up with a music video directed by Leonid Cojocaru which continues the same storyline of a planet that has come to an end, devastated by humanity, which can have such a devastating component at times.
Timebelle considers that music has the power to heal, and with their new single “’96,” they hope to not only heal souls but also provide monetary assistance to individuals who have had to leave their homes, lives, and all behind. All proceeds from the song ’96 ‘will be given to Ukrainian refugees.
She is a lead vocalist Miruna Manescu from Romania is expressing her passion for art as a gigging musician and passionate actor.

Bekim! Reveals His Life Story As He Unveils His Latest Single "Close Your Eyes"
Bekim! He was born in 1970 to Kosovo Albanian parents. Originally from Germany. He was a child when he first realised how much he loved music. Bekim! purchased albums and hoped to one day be a musician.
Bekim! started creating rap rhymes and making tape bootlegs in high school. As soon as he graduated from high school, he built up his recording studio and taught himself how to play harmony and the piano.
In 1989, that was the year. Early on, he was creating all of his music. Composer, songwriter, producer, arranger, and engineer—he’s done it all.
Let’s have a read of what he has to say about his journey to becoming a musician and listening to “Close Your Eyes” for the first time.
What is your real name?
Bekim Bytyqi
What’s your official showbiz name?
Bekim!
How did you get into music?
As a child, I always listened to music. At that time, it was still vinyl records and music cassettes. Then later, CDs.
As a teenager, I mixed cassettes and eventually started writing my lyrics and rapping on them. Shortly thereafter, I bought my first keyboard, a Kawaii, and a short time later, a drum machine from Yamaha. That’s how it all started.
What field or genre are you into, and how would you describe it?
Definitely music production. I love R&B, especially 90s and 00s R&B and a little bit of hip-hop, dance, and even 50s and 60s rockabilly and 80s pop.
What were your first projects, the people you worked with, and which year?
My first project was back in 1989 when I set up my studio. In the beginning, I worked alone. Then my younger brother came along. We taught ourselves everything autodidactically. I’ve always been interested in the production and structure of a song, and that’s how I got into producing.
Bekim! Reveals His Life Story As He Unveils His Latest Single Close Your Eyes
Who or what inspires or motivates you? And why?
Many producers and musicians inspire me. For example, Dr. Dre for his beats, Hot Chocolate for their melodies, and Boyz II Men for their vocals.
I also love to listen to Lemar, Beverly Knight, Mario, Jodeci, Meghan Trainor, and Charlie Puth, to name a few. Apart from music, I love watching series on Netflix.
Any models you look up to? With reason(s), why?
Sure, Dr. Dre, Mike Oldfield, Babyface, and Darkchild
What do you look out for in this line of business?
I want to make my dream come true. Even as a child and teenager, I could predict with great accuracy which song would be a hit. And that’s what I want to do with my songs now. I want as many people as possible to enjoy my music and feel something beautiful about it. I want them to experience the same positive emotions that I felt when I composed it.
What are some of the challenges you face in your career path?
It’s not enough to have good music. Nowadays, you have to be creative to cut through the noise. You are supposed to be online 24/7 and active on social
A musician or producer would only sit in his studio and produce songs in a perfect world. But that’s not the way it is. The promotion side is way more time-consuming than the creative process.
How do you feel the Internet has impacted the music business?
It’s easier to be successful as a musician these days. In the past, there were always these gatekeepers who, to be honest, in my opinion, didn’t always have a great idea about music.
Today, you can take it into your own hands and market your music. This is a great advantage of the Internet.
Do you have any advice for aspiring songwriters?
Just be yourself. Feel free to do your own thing. Find your sound, even when it doesn’t sound like the stuff in the charts. Stand by your sound.
What is your current project about?
My current project, ‘Bekim!’ is about producing timeless R&B and pop R&B songs. I work with different vocalists from all around the world.
What are your hobbies?
Music. But also sports like football (soccer) and basketball.
What do you do aside from this profession?
I am an interpreter by profession. But I hope that soon I can only concentrate on the music.
What is one message you would give to your fans?
Thank you, because without you, none of this would be possible.
If you hold on to your dream you will eventually make it. Just don’t give up.
