Biography

James P A A K W E S I Davis, known professionally as P A A K W E S I, is an African singer-songwriter, rapper and record producer. Known for his irresistible melodies, introspective lyrics and his alluring, laconic vocal style. He first attained industry recognition in Africa in 2011, in an artist management capacity under the label, One Nation Entertainment. This was following awards for works he had overseen and produced for African Award winning Artiste, Efya. 
 Paakwesi’s influential work in the music and industry has directly generated almost a dozen awards and two dozen nominations for other international artists, primarily Efya. This includes honours from MTV Africa, Ghana Music Awards, Nigeria Music Awards, World Music Awards Etc. In April of 2019 Paakwesi released his first debut single as an independent artist entitled, “Been Good,” a hauntingly melancholic anthem foreshadowing the universal angst of a world stoically reminding itself that, ‘all is well’. It is the lead-in to his upcoming self produced, ten track Independent EP entitled “PROGRESS,” recorded in Ghana the USA and Canada and scheduled for release by June 2020. 
 As Paakwesi continues to make a path for his talent as a vanguard artiste of present times , “PROGRESS promises to be a firm cornerstone for nothing less than a stellar performing arts career
