Ghanaian Afrobeats sensation Olivetheboy has achieved a significant milestone by surpassing 100 million streams on Audiomack, solidifying his status as one of the country's most streamed young artists. In recognition of this achievement, he received a commemorative plaque from Audiomack, marking a pivotal moment in his burgeoning career.
Born Joel Ofori Bonsu on October 19, 2002, in Konongo, Ghana, Olivetheboy began his musical journey in 2020 after completing his education at Opoku Ware Senior High School.
His debut EP, AVANA, released in May 2023, featured the standout track "Goodsin," which became the most streamed song in Ghana during the first half of that year.
The success of "Goodsin" propelled Olivetheboy into the spotlight, leading to a record deal with Sony Music’s Columbia Records through its subsidiary Bu Vision Entertainment in August 2023.
He continued to build on this momentum with the release of his second EP, Out of the Blue, in early 2025, featuring collaborations with artists like Sarkodie.
Olivetheboy's rapid ascent in the music industry underscores the growing global appeal of Ghanaian Afrobeats and highlights his potential as a leading figure in the genre's international expansion.
