“I want to explore fashion; I’m trying to take the music to a different space. There’s so much I want to do. I want to do music for movies, music for runways; I want to do a lot of things. I want to make my own clothes, paint even - there’s so much. I’m not putting any limit to what I want to do, just keep dreaming and doing,” he said.

Black Sherif, who is currently on European tour promoting his new album, ‘Iron Boy,’ took the opportunity to shed light on the deeper meaning behind the project’s title and inspiration.

According to him, the name ‘Iron Boy’ is symbolic, and also layered with personal and cultural significance.

He explained that the first meaning pays tribute to Ghanaian highlife legend, Amakye Dede, who originally released a project titled ‘Iron Boy’ back in the day.

He further explained that beyond the tribute, the title of the album also captures the emotional and thematic core of the album.

“The meanings are layered and it made sense that it had to be that way. Firstly, it’s paying homage to Amakye Dede. He is the first Iron Boy and a highlife pioneer.
