Music means various things to many people, and the pursuit of a career in music takes a different shape depending on the individual perception of what music represents. Perception of music stems from individual experiences, which influence the style, genre, and lyricism of artists’ musical content. To most, music is passion-driven, such as in the case of Santé Prince, whose disposition about music borders on making a difference, reaching diverse communities of underserved people, and uplifting souls with his music and everything he is passionate about.
Although originally from Ghana, Santé Prince was born in San Diego, CA, to a West African father from Ghana and a mother from Compton. Throughout his childhood, Prince embraced his strong African roots and thanks to his American environment where he had his upbringing; he had numerous musical influences he could point at for helping him hone his artistic prowess and ability. As a hip-hop artist with a specialty in rap, songwriting, and record producing, Santé was one of the early hip-hop acts abroad to embrace the unique Afrobeats sound, which had just crossed over from Africa. Through the efforts of the Africans in the diaspora, the wide acceptance of the sound was quicker than anticipated.
Away from music, Santé enjoys time doing sports, especially outdoor sports. He is a professional water polo player whose experience covers his time playing in Spain, Germany, Italy, Brazil, Hungary and Croatia. As a black man who is confident in his abilities and how beneficial the sport has been to his development across every spectrum of life, Santé journeyed into Africa in 2020, to his home country of Ghana, intending to bring the sport closer to the people.
In 2020, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Santé defied all odds and left the United States with the sole aim of pursuing his passion in sports and music. Within a year and against all odds, he merged his passion for water polo, music, and the African/African-American Liberation through aquatics. Together with stakeholders who have accepted the project, he launched the first Water Polo Club in Ghana and, in a short while, has eliminated the apathetic nature of the locals toward water polo to acceptance on a wide-range level across genders.
Santé Prince is pursuing a successful music career, releasing some of the major hit tracks in the San Diego/California music scene. In addition to his exploits in music, Prince’s attention is now on his motherland, where he believes there is a need to get people to experience certain situations and activities to give them a wide range of options to consider when deciding their passion.
