Before Afrobeats became a global movement, there were pioneers shaping the sound and the culture behind the scenes.
In this episode of TIMELESS with Teddy, Hackney-born Ghanaian DJ, producer and entrepreneur Nana Adjei, popularly known as FrenchKiss, reflects on a journey that helped influence the rise of African music across the diaspora.
From the DJ mix CD era of the late 90s/2000s to building businesses and navigating the evolving music landscape, Nana shares insights into the hustle, creativity and vision that defined his early years in the industry. He also speaks about opening his first business in Clapton and the experiences that shaped his entrepreneurial mindset.
The conversation moves between music, culture and identity — including his decision to reconnect with Ghana, a country he first travelled to at just 11 years old, and how he eventually adapted to life there.
For anyone thinking about relocating to Africa or reconnecting with their roots, this episode offers honest reflections and lessons from someone who has lived that journey.
A conversation about music, migration, business and staying connected to your roots.
