Renowned Ghanaian music producer Appiah Dankwah, popularly known as Appietus, has officially relocated to the United Kingdom and unveiled a new recording studio in London, marking a major international expansion of his brand and craft.
In a conversation with myjoyonline.com and monitored by One King Multimedia, Appietus confirmed his move, stating, “I just set up a new studio in London.” The relocation signals the award-winning producer’s intention to tap into broader global music markets, particularly in the UK, while maintaining his strong ties to Ghana’s music industry.
The newly established studio is designed to serve both African and international artistes, providing high-quality production services rooted in Appietus’ distinctive Afrocentric sound, fused with contemporary global trends. The move comes at a time when the global demand for African music—particularly Afrobeats, Highlife, and Hiplife—continues to rise, with African producers gaining more recognition on the international stage.
Appietus, a veteran in Ghana’s music scene with over two decades of experience, has played an integral role in shaping modern Ghanaian music. He is celebrated for his work with industry heavyweights such as Okyeame Kwame, Daddy Lumba, Becca, Ofori Amponsah, Samini, Wutah, and many more. His signature sound and production quality have earned him a respected place in African music history.
Beyond production, Appietus is also known for his contribution to music development through platforms like MTN Hitmaker, where he served as a judge and mentor to upcoming artists. His commitment to nurturing talent has helped launch the careers of several young Ghanaian musicians.
The London studio is not just a physical space; it is part of Appietus’ vision to foster international collaborations and create a cultural exchange between African and global music creators. His presence in the UK places him in the heart of one of the world’s most dynamic music scenes, opening doors for cross-border projects, partnerships, and greater visibility for African music on the world stage.
This move aligns with a broader trend of Ghanaian creatives expanding their footprint globally, driven by the digital age, diaspora engagement, and increasing global appreciation for African soundscapes.
As Appietus settles into his new base, fans and industry players alike are optimistic about the opportunities his London studio will offer—not just for Ghanaian artistes, but for creatives across the African continent looking to make a mark internationally.
In his words, “The mission is to connect cultures through music and continue telling our stories through sound, but now on a much bigger stage.”
With this bold step, Appietus continues to reinvent himself while elevating African music, proving once again that sound has no borders.
