From the year 1997 to 2000, Paul Bongo was at Bawia Buleme cracking stones and doing a work calledDala Dala. As Young at that time, he was not energetic enough to do that work but because he wanted to get himself positioned in the music insudtry. At the beginning of Paul Bongo’s music career in the year 2004, life was not easy at all but he never gave up because being on the same stage with Ghanaian musicians like Kojo Antwi, Reggie Rockstone,Tictac, V.I.P, Lord Kenya and Obrafour was his dream and he never gave up as he is still on his Dream.

Paul Bongo is Suhum, Koff Town, Akyim Tafo and Accra boy and his street name is King of the Real Hashlas living in Abeka, Greater Accra Region. At the age of 17, Paul BONGO met his mentor, Kojo Antwi. Paul Bongo was going by the name King of the Real Hashlas. I just loved this word because it was about the mind and I knew that’s what he wanted his music to consist of; something that really challenges his mind. Although Paul Bongo is a Hip Life/ Afro pop / Hip Hop artist, but Paul bongo was heavily influenced by the high life Maestro Kojo Antwi and Daasebre Dwamena.

As an uprising artiste, his brother made him watch old movies by the late Bob Santo, Judas etc which help him to narrate a story when ever writing music as music is a rhythm and poetry. By so doing he was influenced on how he represents himself with the way he speaks and how he interacts with others with peace, love, grace, positivity, honour, and valour.

According to Paul Bongo, all the classic artists are what really give him a foundation, but the new artists are also his inspirations, and he brings the best of both words to his music. Paul Bongo says, “I love all subgenres within hip life/Afro pop/ hip-hop and all genres of music and I think that’s what allows me to make the music that I do, because of my appreciation for the music.

Working with the Best Entertainment Label in Ghana, Empire Records will soon push Paul Bongo up to leader he said.
