Ghanaian musician Mohammed Ismail Sherif Kwaku Frimpong, known to fans as Black Sherif, has revealed his plans to branch out into other creative areas like fashion and film.
Speaking in an interview with UK-based Clash Magazine, the 'Kwaku the Traveller' hitmaker gave fans a glimpse of his long-term vision—not just as a music star, but as a versatile artist.
The award-winning performer said he hopes to combine music with other forms of art. He explained that his creativity goes beyond just singing and performing; he also wants to explore designing fashion collections and creating soundtracks for movies.
Black Sherif said his aim is to have his work live across different cultural spaces, blending music with film and fashion to express himself in new ways.
“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.
I just recently found out he was best friends with my grandfather when I went to visit him. The next layer is describing the soul of the album: resilience, strength and being tough,” Black Sherif added.
