Mutombo Da Poet is a pioneer and one of the most influential voices in
Ghana’s spoken word movement. Since launching his career in 2006,
he has performed on stages both in Ghana and internationally.
In 2009, he won the inaugural Ehalakasa Poetry Slam and later became
a resident poet at ‘Bless Da Mic’, further shaping the country’s spoken
word culture. Mutombo released his debut album, Photosentences, a
landmark project in Ghana’s spoken word history. After a creative
hiatus, Mutombo returned in 2025 with new work, reaffirming his
enduring presence in the art form.
On the 21st of July 2026, B50! was released, a very personal EP which
touches on his upbringing, family, trauma, fatherhood and other
sensitive subjects.
Beyond poetry, he is also an accomplished photographer, filmmaker,
and beatmaker.
