About Dr. Pushkin
Artist Biography
In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I started making music in primary school in Ghana, tapping on a desk and freestyling for my peers. The first track I recorded on tape was by rapping into an old casette player, to a repetitive video game soundtrack from a borrowed Nintendo console
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Nas, Illmatic Obrafour, Pae Mu Ka Obrafour's Pae Mu Ka was the moment Ghana's public realized hip hop was a force that wasn't going anywhere. Illmatic' mind bending rhymes, puns & stories still deliver. Kendrick showed conscious rap can speak to all & be a global blockbuster success.
Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Did You Think About Me? (feat. Silverina & Isolirium)” This track might be the first time I was able to combine socially conscious lyrics with a production that could appeal to the mainstream, and saw a real growth in my audience as a result. It has influenced my journey and growth since significantly
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Recent well-received collaborations with Ghanaian Music Legends - (Quata) Budukusu and Ofori Amponsah - showed me that I had what it takes to rub shoulders musically with the best artists out there. Full steam ahead.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I am yet to go on a global tour, but I believe this will be accomplished in 2023
