Early life and education

edit

Genesis Owusu was born Kofi Owusu-Ansah in 1998 in Koforidua, Ghana.[2] His older brother, Kojo (born ca. 1994), is also a rapper who performs as Citizen Kay.[3] The family migrated to Canberra, Australia in 2000.[4][5]

He was dubbed "Genesis" by Kojo in primary school, who told his friends that his younger brother is Kofi: "his friends were like 'oh, what's your brother's name?' and he said 'Coffee' and they just didn't believe him, for whatever reason. So he just apparently made Genesis up on the spot, and since then it's just stuck."[6] Owusu completed a Bachelor of Journalism at the University of Canberra in 2018.[6][7]

Career

2015–2019: Career beginnings and Cardrive

edit

Musician Citizen Kay is Owusu's older brother, and he decided to feature his younger brother, among other relatives, on "Family Ties", a track on his album With the People (October 2015).[8][9] Kay explained that "Family Ties"

… is a song about the appreciation of my family and how they've played parts in who I am, both as a person and as a writer/artist. It seemed fitting to get fellow rapping family members on the verses.[8]

The pair then performed and recorded as the Ansah Brothers and in 2015 released an extended play (EP), Polaroid.[10] Fellow Canberra rapper Kirklandd took notice and wanted the younger Owusu on his track "We On", which was first issued as a single in August 2016 and then appeared on Kirklandd's September 2016 four-track EP, The Visions Minitape.[11][12]

From these experiences, Owusu gained confidence, connections, and fans enough to encourage him to try a solo career. In June 2017, he released his seven-track debut EP, Cardrive.[13] BMA Magazine's Matt Parnell wrote that

the throaty, deep voice, the swagger-infused flow and menacing, jazzy beats give each track a distinctive flavour. Additionally, the polished sound and confidence with which each tune is presented gives the sound an experienced feeling that belies the age of the artist.[13]

The single "Sideways", released in September, includes lyrics in Twi, a dialect of Akan.[6] It received national exposure on youth radio Triple J. Owusu toured Australia's east coast to promote it.[14] Of "Sideways", i-D's Isabelle Hellyer wrote

Where [Owusu's] older work would flit between jazz and hip hop, 'Sideways' synthesises both genres into sound of his own.[14]

The singer rejected the archetypical objectification of women by hip hop artists with his second single, "Awomen Amen" (2018), and explained, "As a rapper, I never used to hear those kinds of messages... it was something that always bothered me."[7] He released a double A-sided single, "WUTD"/"Vultures" early in 2019, which Caitlin Medcalf of Purple Sneakers reviewed, "[WUTD is] a smooth, RnB track I guarantee will never get out of your head and, 'Vultures', a wavy rap journey... [his] vocals match the mood with a drawling vocal melody and a light flow that never once feels sharp, but simply goes with the flow."[15] On 3 July 2019 Owusu performed as an opening act at 5 Seconds of Summer's sold-out benefit concert in Sydney.[16] "WUTD" was featured on an ad for Bose noise-cancelling headphones in October 2019.[17]

2020–2021: Smiling with No Teeth
