International hip-hop and Afro-fusion artiste Big Hookz is set to touch down in Ghana for a special promotional and media tour scheduled for September 30 to October 4, 2026.
Born in Cameroon and raised in Germany before establishing his career in the Washington, D.C. DMV area of the United States, Big Hookz has spent more than a decade building a presence in the global music industry. His career extends beyond performing, with the artiste also working as an entrepreneur, executive producer, record label executive, and CEO of Str8Team Entertainment.
Known for blending Hip-Hop with Afrobeat, Dancehall and R&B influences, Big Hookz has developed a sound that reflects his international background and wide-ranging musical influences. Over the years, he has worked with established names including Gyptian, Kevin Gates, Styles P and Mike Jones, alongside emerging talents from Africa, Europe and North America.
His catalogue includes projects such as “Visionary (No Days Off),” as well as a collection of singles that have accumulated millions of streams across digital platforms. His music continues to connect different audiences while highlighting the cross-cultural approach that has become part of his identity as an artiste.
Big Hookz has also built a career behind the scenes through Str8Team Entertainment, where he mentors upcoming artistes and shares his experience of navigating the music business. His interest in artist development and industry education extends to his book, “From The Music To The Money,” which is aimed at helping aspiring musicians better understand the business side of entertainment.
Now, his attention turns to Ghana.
From September 30 to October 4, Big Hookz will embark on a multi-day Ghana tour featuring club appearances and performances, media interviews, press engagements, studio sessions with Ghanaian artistes and producers, industry networking opportunities, content creation and cultural experiences across the country.
The visit is expected to create opportunities for Big Hookz to connect directly with Ghana’s music community while introducing local audiences to his latest music and upcoming projects. The tour also provides a platform for conversations and collaborations between Ghanaian creatives and the wider international music market.
For Big Hookz, the Ghana trip is about more than performances. His planned studio sessions and industry engagements are expected to create room for creative exchanges with local artistes, producers and music professionals, potentially opening the door to new collaborations.
The international artiste is also a longtime fan of Ghanaian dancehall star Shatta Wale and has expressed his interest in working with him during his visit. A potential collaboration would further connect Big Hookz’s international career with Ghana’s vibrant music scene.
With his experience across Africa, Europe and North America, Big Hookz arrives in Ghana with music, business knowledge and a strong interest in building relationships within the local industry. His September tour is set to bring together performances, media activity, music networking and cultural experiences as he continues to expand his global reach.
Ghana’s music and entertainment scene will therefore have plenty to look forward to as Big Hookz makes his way to the country for five days of music, collaboration and industry engagement.
