Jason Herman Bortei-Doku, popularly known as Herman Suede, is once again set to captivate the world with his extraordinary talent and diverse music style. Ghana’s rising musical sensation born on November 21, 2002, his journey in the world of music began at the tender age of five when he embarked on a classical music odyssey, mastering the piano and receiving formal music education. He has now honed his musical prowess to become a prominent figure in the fiercely competitive music industry.
Herman Suede’s artistic approach transcends the boundaries of Ghanaian music, blending elements of Afro-pop, R&B, Alté, and Amapiano. With his mesmerizing vocals and lyrics that touch the soul, he has even garnered admiration from industry legends such as will.i.am and Timbaland.
The budding star has already left his mark with the chart-topping hit, “Your Love,” released in August 2023, amassing an impressive 250,000 streams across all major streaming platforms.

It encourages listeners to savor life’s pleasures, whether through love, partying, embarking on road trips, or simply taking care of oneself.
