Kwesi Kankam is a fine singer/songwriter in the soul singer tradition. He has an ever growing fan base with each live performance.
Searching for his path, and with a talent for athletics, his road East and out of Ohio was paved by a football scholarship to Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Within his first year however, his artistic nature took hold, and Kwesi put sports in the rearview, committing his energy and vision to songwriting and performing songs at local coffee houses.
What took Kwesi from Alaska, to Ohio, to Barcelona Spain, and finally (for now) to Pennsylvania? Find out here.
