Fighting for African  music and representing the nations, Maxwell K Okwensy is definitely making a mark in the music industry.  Soon-to-be known on  national and international scale, this gifted bass player, singer, lyricist and composer brings a unique music mix blended with a taste of Europe, a twist of America and a squeeze of Africa thats all stirred up to create a colorful and powerful sound of Fusion.
The oldest of six children, this native-born Ghanaian  is no foreigner to the United States. Since arriving in America ten years ago, Kobys God-given musical gifts and abilities have ushered him into prominent places such as the Kennedy Center in the nations capital and the Radio City Music Hall in the Big Apple, New York City.  Additionally he has shared the stage with the prestigious artists like Nancy Wilson, Chaka Khan and Dionne Warwick. In august, 2006he  performed at Reggae on the river and shared the stage with Reggae superstar Sean Paul, Barrington Levy, Sanchez, Ziggy and   Stephen Marley Bunny Wailer and Farther of Afrikan music Salif Keita and many more.
      

Recently, he also gains additional recognition as a key performer in Detroits 21st African World Festival. Yet, the beauty of Kobys determination to remain true as well as his country as an artist is noteworthy and commendable. Other countries have kept the authenticity of their music.  My goal is to continue to maintain the authenticity of African music, but still incorporate the sounds of others. And, incorporating he does!  Koby’s distinguished sound of Fusion has enabled him to diversify his performances from charity groups in America, to churches in Europe, Jazz festivals in the Bahamas and Ghanaian stages for celebrities.  His international credentials boast performances with Kojo Antwi, Hugh Masekela, Amayke Dede, Daddy Lumba, Ofori Amponsah and Toby Foyeh.  Most notably is Kobys membership with the famous, Sakra Band of Megastar, which took Ghanas music to a new height. 

Kobys versatility as an artist is vividly displayed on his first Gospel CD entitled:  Praise the Lord and second album Pepele fame, flying with the Lord.
