Emmanuel Sogbey, better known by his stage name Holyrina, is emerging as one of Ghana’s most promising young talents, captivating audiences with his fearless approach to music.

Nicknamed “The Problem Child” in the streets of Pokuase’s Grako community, Holyrina has carved out a niche for himself by defying expectations, experimenting with sound, and crafting thought-provoking songs that resonate deeply with listeners.

Since breaking onto the scene with “Kuborlor” in March 2023, Holyrina has steadily built momentum.

His breakout track “ASEM” went viral on TikTok, drew endorsements from top Ghanaian artists, and garnered impressive streaming numbers on platforms such as Audiomack.

Often compared to Black Sherif for his raw authenticity and creative range, Holyrina has already released over 18 tracks, including fan favourites like “Upfront,” “Gbedu,” “Killer Go Rise,” and “Spirit.”

In 2024, he released his debut tape, “JAMA JAMA,” a heartfelt six-track tribute to his late mother.

The project blends highlife, drill, and hip-hop into a unique sound Holyrina proudly calls “JAMA JAMA culture,” with standout songs such as “Makasa,” “Grako,” and “Nyane M3.”

Currently, the young hitmaker is riding high on the success of his latest single “Kakalika,” which is trending on TikTok and enjoying strong streaming performance across digital platforms.

With his artistic fearlessness and commitment to telling authentic stories, Holyrina is fast becoming a dominant voice not only in Pokuase but in Ghana’s music industry at large.
