Derek Andrews Safo is a UK based Music Artist, Executive Producer and Entrepreneur. Not wanting to be recognized a ‘the rapper’; Sway would cover his face in pictures with a Union Jackbandana, this later became an iconic image in the world of UK urban Music.
Despite being known as a UK Hip Hop artist, Sway’s versatile flow allowed him to be embraced by both the Ghanaian Hip-Life scene and the then newly born London Grime scene.
He became the first unsigned rapper to win a MOBO Award prior to the release of an official album. Sway’s vast array of collaborations go from recording and writing with acts such as Mark Ronson and Childish Gambino to award winning verses for Ghanaian super stars Sarkodie & Edem.
