Seven-time ARIA Award winner Genesis Owusu has cemented his place as one of the most exciting and boundary-pushing voices in music. Known for his genre-defying sound, striking visuals, and commanding live performances, the Ghanaian-Australian artist continues to rise as an anti-hero of the global alternative music scene.
His resolute 2021 debute, Smiling With No Teeth, was a cultural reset. A fearless exploration of identity, experimenting with funk, punk and rap. The album swept the ARIA Awards with four wins, including “Album of the Year” and earned acclaim from The Guardian and Rolling Stone.
In 2023, Owusu reinterpreted his debut with an orchestral performance at the Sydney Opera House. Subsequently, he released his second album, STRUGGLER, which brought him further ARIA accolades for “Album of the Year” and “Best Hip Hop/Rap Release”.
He’s shared stages with Tame Impala, Paramore or IDLES. He has completed sold-out headline tours across the US and Europe and also went on a unique tour with the Sydney Symphony. Genesis Owusu continues to push boundaries and redefine what it means to be an artist today.
