Kwaku Quansah (born Kwaku Quansah March 20, 1991), is a Ghanaian creative, poet, music lover, artist and Podcaster who grew up from Mataheko, a little town in Accra. He attended the University of Education where he read Economics. He grew up a loner who updated to all forms of creativity as a result of spending a lot of time at different places. In 2012, he joined a little Music/Art group from University called Positive Music Gh, it's a group of young guys whose talents cut across from painting to sculpture to drumming, singing, rapping and to producing beats. Shortly after he and the group got to their third year, they drifted apart. Late 2013, he developed sudden interest in writing poetry and later on drifted into Spoken word. He is mostly known for his Spoken Word mixtape Poetry & Poeticize which he released in 2014. He is more into love poetry and has influences from Pablo Neruda.

Kwaku developed interest in poetry at a very dominant age when he entered University. He initially loved writing lyrics and making deep word play to make listening interesting. During his time with Positive Music Gh he was the only poet. The diversity of talents in the group forced Kwaku to appreciate art in a whole other different level. After the group's sad separation, Kwaku connected with Junior High School friend, Wilbeck Otchere ( aka Konkah2DT) a Rapper & Sound Engineer who had then teamed up with other producers including Gyimah (Gymoff), SsnowBeatz and in-house musicians in establishing their studio and Record Label We Are GHG. That was where He recorded his first mixtape Poetry & Poeticize which was hosted by Urbanroll.net. and digitally released on the 13th October, 2013. though it was beautifully acclaimed, the mixtape was criticized on it's inconsistency of having substantial language accent. His spoken word pieces that received most streams and downloads include Beautiful People, Paasion the Poet, Letter to God & Roses are blood. It was during this time that he co-formed a spoken word group with 3 other friends, Poetyk Prynx, Lemuel and Rudifella; 4 Bluemoon. He performed in so many poetry shows and events including A.L.E.W.A (Art Lovers, Entertainers & Wordsmiths in Action) with Rhyme Sonny, Kacey Moore and fellow 4 Bluemoon partner Poetyk Prynx. Later in 2015, he released another single, Hunters Moon & his first ever spoken word video for Hunters Moon. He's currently into Podcasting, The Pod Next Door and his own; Thoughts on A Mic.
