In this episode of Timeless with Teddy, Teddy Abrokwa sits down with Sway Dasafo — MOBO Award–winning artist, entrepreneur and cultural pioneer.

From North London to global stages, Sway reflects on a journey that has shaped both UK music and its connection to Africa. Widely recognised as the figure who discovered KSI’s musical potential, he also played a key role in bridging the gap between UK and Ghanaian music long before it became a global movement.

In this conversation, we explore:
• Discovering and developing talent at the highest level  
• The cultural connection between the UK and Ghana  
• Leadership, fatherhood and responsibility  
• Building a label and creating opportunities for the next generation  

Sway also shares the impact of meeting Ghanaian rap legend Obrafour, how that moment reshaped his perspective, and the influence of mentorship from global icon Akon.

More than an interview, this episode is a masterclass in leadership, culture and evolution — offering insight into what it truly means to build legacy and empower others through success.

If you’re building something, navigating purpose or looking to understand the intersection of culture and business, this conversation is for you.
