Ghana’s music scene continues to evolve, and few artists represent its refined yet global sound as clearly as King Promise. Born Gregory Bortey Newman, the silky-voiced crooner from Nungua has gone from studio corners in Accra to the main stages of the world all while staying true to his calm, soulful identity.
2025 has undoubtedly been a defining year for him. Crowned Artiste of the Year at the Telecel Ghana Music Awards, King Promise’s win didn’t come as a surprise to those who have followed his steady rise. It was rather a long-awaited recognition for an artist whose music has remained pure, polished, and purposeful.
His artistry stands on balance, a voice that blends Ghanaian highlife warmth with modern Afrobeats rhythm, bridging generations. With songs like Oh Yeah, CCTV, and Abena, King Promise built a foundation that spoke to love, hope, and emotional sincerity. But it was his 2024 album, True to Self, that cemented his place among the new generation of African greats.
The project carried a clear message of self-identity, gratitude, and growth. Tracks such as Paris and Favourite Story earned massive streaming numbers across Spotify and Audiomack, setting a new standard for Ghanaian sound engineering and melody. When he followed up with the True to Self Deluxe Edition, it confirmed that King Promise wasn’t just chasing trends, he was building a legacy.
Fresh off his award win and album success, 2025 opened with a new chapter in his journey. His current single, “See What We’ve Done,” has become both a personal anthem and a national celebration. Shared first on his official Facebook page, King Promise connected the release with Ghana’s football spirit, calling it “our anthem as we’ve qualified for the World Cup.” The song, featuring Mr Eazi, is smooth yet powerful, a reflection of achievement after struggle, blending pride with rhythm.

“See What We’ve Done” captures the emotional heartbeat of every dreamer who started small but never gave up. In it, King Promise looks back on his days of uncertainty and celebrates the journey that has led him to global acclaim. The collaboration with Mr Eazi is equally symbolic: Ghana and Nigeria, two Afrobeats powerhouses, coming together in unity through sound. The visuals, partly shot during Mr Eazi’s wedding, give the song an extra layer of intimacy and elegance, merging artistry with lifestyle.
This release is more than just another hit; it’s a statement. It reminds his listeners that success is not just about fame but about representing one’s roots proudly. From the streets of Nungua to world tours, King Promise has remained grounded, his humility contrasting sharply with his rising global recognition.
What sets him apart is not just his sound but his consistency. While some chase momentary attention, King Promise builds connections that last. His voice, often described as “the calm in the chaos,” bridges Ghana’s old school music soul with today’s Afrobeats energy.
His story is a lesson in persistence, artistry, and authenticity. For a young boy who once dreamed of singing on bigger stages, King Promise is now living proof that staying true to your art will eventually speak louder than hype.
As his music continues to cross borders, his success carries the flag of Ghana higher with every beat. And with See What We’ve Done resonating across Africa, it’s safe to say, King Promise hasn’t just made music; he’s made a movement.
Stream “See What We’ve Done” on Spotify, Apple Music, and Audiomack — and join the celebration of Ghana’s golden voice on the global stage.
