About Me

Ohene (pronounced Ã”-hen-e) Is "THE HIP HOP MIRACLE." Living between Philadelphia, PA and Ghana, West Africa, Ohene has been blessed with a rare cultural background that has obviously contributed to his overall artistry. SINCE THE AGE OF TWELVE WHEN HE BEGAN PLAYING PIANO (by ear), repeating the minuets of classical giants Bach, Mozart and Handel, Ohene has been writing original rhymes and studying words for their uniqueness. BY THE AGE OF 15, OHENE WAS PERFORMING BEFORE THOUSANDS in Ghana's National Theatre where even today many of the country's biggest events are held.
TODAY, he is recognized as one of the most gifted emcees/producers in professional music and THE ONLY EMCEE YOU WILL SEE PLAYING CLASSICAL WALTZES ON THE PIANO WHILE RAPPING. OHENE'S FIRST TWO RELEASES, THE RAPADEMICS - a scientific and mathematical approach to Hip-Hop, STUDIED IN SEVERAL UNIVERSITIES (including University of Delaware, University of Pennsylvania, Temple University, and Virginia Tech) - and INNER CITY SOUL- a spiritual and social approach to Hip-Hop - are two expressions of his wellroundedness and have RECIEVED PRAISE FROM LEGENDARY MUSICIANS SUCH AS RITA MARLEY, KENNY GAMBLE AND MTUME. Both albums are in stores now, and available via internet ( click here for The Rapademics and here for Inner City Soul ). This time around, his production talent comes to the forefront, as he handles 90% of the instrumentation and arrangement.
