Drizzy Bangz
Born Daniel Isaac March in Cape Coast, Ghana, has been making music since 2014 — so he’s had plenty of time to try on different sounds and identities. After a classmate at his school gave him a copy of the production software FruityLoops, he’d spend time holed up in a cupboard with an old computer, teaching himself how to turn ideas into beats. But it wasn’t until he moved to Takoradi for sometime— and then, after years and much thinking finally moved to Tema — Drizzy Bangz then decided to double down on music.
“I knew I didn’t want to be in school, but I didn’t know what I did want,” he said. “I just knew everything I didn’t want is what I had,” he said. I just love to do music and entertain people with my God given talent
To make it in Ghana’s blossoming afropop, RnB and afro swing industry, Drizzy developed a brash persona that he described as being healthily skeptical of industry politics but that press and fans have interpreted as dickishness.

“At the end of the day, if you’re not selling yourself short as an African, everything you thought you needed to pay for will come to you,” he said, exasperated by what he thought was an obvious point. “You have the wave. You are you.” He was right — and now that he’s cultivated a fanbase impressed with his idiosyncratic take on Ghanaian music, Drizzy Bangz is ready to aim beyond Africa. “I’m an international pop and RnB star” he said. “Now the music will travel without passports.”
