Meet the
‘Compozers’.
He is popularly known by his stage name Nana Pokes. He
was born into a Christian and musical family in Enfield, North London where his
love for music arose. At the young age of four, he started playing the drums
and was also good with the keyboard. All this spiked up his love for the bass
which he is popularly known for today.
His background contributed a lot to his musical
development and also his active participation in the Church, which is a top
priority for him.
He is the Co-CEO of an Entertainment company called
Decadence Entertainment, which manages the ‘Compozers’. The company was formed
alongside his friend, Brian Boateng, triggered by their love for arts –
performing arts.
He was born in North London on the 19th of October where
he nurtured his love and his electrifying ear for the dynamic sounds of the
keyboard and ‘keytar’ which is one of the major contributors to the collective
authenticity of Compozers.
As he grew older, he developed his musical senses through
YouTube, which taught him various skills and runs. This led him to join the
church band where he performed, prior to the formation of the Compozers when he
was seventeen.
He is inspired by various artists such as Micheal
Jackson, which has helped him to be so diverse and appeal to a vast audience.
With his talents and through his instruments he is also able to captivate
interests of the audience.
He was born on the 31st of December to a Ghanaian family.
He attended St Ignatius College, where he obtained his GCSE's including a GCSE
in music which was driven by him winning the award for Young Drummer of the
Year 2011.
Stephen’s love for music began when he started playing
drums at the age of three. This love grew and led him to gain a GCSE in the
craft. He studied Business in college due to his love for business and
entrepreneurship in which he is channelling into the Business aspect of his
skills.
Like the rest, he also played in churches. This was where
the relationship between him and the other members began and they formed the
Compozers.
He was born on the 6th of July in North London. He
started playing the keyboard when in 2005 when he was thirteen years old. The
keyboard was a gift was his father which was initially intended to keep him out
of trouble and in the long run became his passion.

producing. Moving onto college, he developed various tracks and beats for
friends and created a name for himself in the music industry. He also
contributed to church, which shaped him into the musician he is today.
Charlie Biggz is seen to be one of the exquisite
musicians out there as he has the ability to fuse the attributes of a singer
and incorporate harmonic characteristics to create voicing’s that replicate
sound sand approach similar to one who uses their voice. He is what we will
call extraordinary, which contributes to the key phenomena which make up the
‘Compozers’ today.

various award winning artists such as Wizkid, Davido, Mr Eazi Fuse ODG and may
more who have allowed them to reach audiences which were unreachable. Through
