Lowkner Perspective on ToDay

From the heartbeat of Kumasi 🇬🇭 to the creative fire of Montreal 🇨🇦, Lowkner is redefining the sound of a global generation. A visionary artist with Ghanaian roots and Canadian grind, Lowkner (pronounced Lo-ner) blends pop, rap, and electronic soul into a signature style that refuses to be boxed in. Raised on rhythm and built in the basement of raw ambition, his sound is more than music — it’s movement. With over a decade of shaping sonic emotion, Lowkner creates immersive anthems that vibrate with truth, resilience, and cinematic energy.

My background is the foundation of all my music. Growing up between Ghanaian culture and Montreal hustle gave me a dual lens—tradition and ambition. That blend of African rhythm and Western grind shapes the soul, sound, and message behind everything I create.

As a kid, I remember music playing nonstop in the house—from highlife and gospel to 90s hip hop. I couldn’t understand all the lyrics, but I felt them deeply. That feeling still drives me today.

It became real the day I recorded and realized people connected with my truth. That response—feeling heard and understood—made me know this was more than a hobby. It was purpose.

My music as a whole blends Afro-Fusion, Pop, Alternative R&B, and Jersey Club energy. Each release has its own flavour, but they all carry emotional weight and cultural fusion.

I’ve matured lyrically and sonically. My storytelling is sharper, my beats are more layered, and my vision for every release is more intentional. I’m no longer experimenting—I’m building legacy.

Growth, heartbreak, ambition, identity, resilience, and hope. Every track is a reflection of real-life moments, emotions, and lessons.

Ed Sheeran or Taylor Swift. Both stand for truth and musical greatness, and their global reach would elevate the message I bring with my music.

It’s like hearing wisdom through sound—deep, raw, and beautifully human. They give you truth with style.

My music is emotionally honest and rhythmically rich. It’s where Afro energy meets North American grit. You’ll feel it before you even understand it.

Michael Jackson. He was more than music—he was movement. The way he connected with crowds is something I deeply respect and study.

It’s hard to pick one. Each release represents a different chapter of my life. Some songs help me heal, others let me celebrate. I’m proud of all of them because they’re all true.

Burna Boy for the culture, Drake for the versatility, and Lauryn Hill for the soul. They each bring something timeless that never gets old.

A packed global stage, visuals telling my story, fans singing along word for word. A mix of high energy and emotional moments—something unforgettable.

Scrolling TikTok at 3 AM. I wasn’t even looking for music and ended up with a whole song that inspired my next track.

I want them to feel seen. Whether they’re hurting, rising, or just vibing—my music should feel like a mirror and a message at the same time.

Real. Global. Relatable.

Through visuals and live energy. Whether it's a music video, a live performance, or just raw content—I want people to see the full picture.

Yes, constantly. I used to just write and record. Now I train my voice, rehearse live sets, study visuals, and stay ready at all times. I treat this like an athlete would.

Fans DMing me about how my songs helped them through a breakup, a loss, or just gave them hope. That’s when I knew this music is doing what it’s meant to do.

Success is impact. It's not about just numbers—it’s about connection. If people feel something real and remember it, that’s the win. But I’m also building for legacy—global reach, creative freedom, and inspiring others like me.

By blending Afro-fusion with raw, introspective storytelling and modern global sounds. I want to push the culture forward—not by copying trends, but by creating moments people feel and remember. Authenticity is my innovation.

Artists are truth-tellers of emotion and energy shifters. We reflect what people feel but can’t say out loud. We remind people they’re not alone and challenge them to think deeper, feel harder, and move freer.

Any song where I turned pain into purpose. When a fan tells me they felt seen or healed through one of my tracks—that’s success. It’s not about charts; it’s about impact.

The fear of being vulnerable in public. Releasing something personal and not knowing how the world will respond—it takes courage every time.

Once I forgot my own lyrics on stage—complete blank. But I freestyled through it and the crowd never noticed. That moment taught me to stay calm under pressure.

I’d create more platforms for real, independent talent to thrive without needing to sell their soul. The gatekeeping and politics kill creativity.

I’ve worked in retail, done freelance branding, and even some warehouse gigs. Every job taught me hustle and kept me grounded.

I’m into storytelling, fashion, and visuals—all of which bleed into my music. My love for cinema helps shape my music videos, and my sense of style helps me express myself beyond sound.

Sometimes, yes. The path can feel isolating when people don’t understand your grind. But I stay connected to my purpose and surround myself with those who genuinely support the vision.

It means seeing beauty in struggle and potential in pain. It’s understanding that nothing is random—everything can be turned into art.

Music, film, and visual design. I express myself sonically, visually, and emotionally—it’s all connected.

Burna Boy for his cultural power, Drake for his versatility, and Lauryn Hill for her timeless truth.

You can’t fake truth. Audiences know when you’re real and when you’re not. Stay grounded in who you are—growth comes from that place.

Yes—purpose. Music is how I speak my truth and connect with others. As long as I have something real to say, I’ll keep creating.

To build a global legacy rooted in honesty, culture, and emotional impact. I want my music to outlive me and inspire generations coming up after me.

Michelangelo’s The Creation of Adam. It captures power, purpose, and connection in a single image. The space between the fingers says so much—it’s that moment before impact, like the silence before a beat drops. That tension is everything I try to bring in my music.
