Genesis Owusu, the stage name of Kofi Owusu-Ansah, is an Australian artist who has been reshaping the contours of hip-hop and alternative music with his genre-defying sound. Born in 1998 in Ghana and raised in Canberra, Australia, he surfaced on the music scene with a vibrant fusion of rap, R&B, funk, and soul, quickly distinguishing himself for his dynamism and unconventional style. His debut album "Smiling with No Teeth," released in 2021, was critically acclaimed for its conceptual depth and the manner it tackled complex themes such as racism and mental health through an array of eclectic sounds—a testament to his artistic versatility and lyrical prowess.

Owusu's music is characterized by a fearless experimentation that has earned him a reputation as one of the most innovative and exciting new musicians to watch. With a range of releases that showcase his adaptability, including the gritty and propulsive "STRUGGLER," the introspective "Stay Blessed," and the pulsating energy of "Get Inspired" alongside its ZHU Remix, Owusu demonstrates an ability to shift gears effortlessly. He continues to expand his artistic scope as featured in tracks like "There's Only One," and with his magnetic presence, both in the studio and on stage, Genesis Owusu's journey is one marked by continual evolution and boundless potential.
