Days after his birth, his parent gave him the name: Mohammed Ismail Sherif Kweku Frimpong. The Frimpongs are a Muslim household and brought up Sherif in the same faith.
Spending his formative years in the Konongo district, Black Sherif was exposed to the harsh realities of life as the neighbourhood he resided in was a ghetto. And this played a role in the type of music he created later in life.
He grew up listening to Afrobeats sounds by Nigerian and Ghanaian artists via the radio. And this helped foster a love for music. Black Sherif‘s music journey began in his early teenage days when he started to make freestyle rap songs to the admiration of his friends in the neighbourhood and schoolmates.
He often participated in talent contests in Konongo and was a regular face at his high school events, where he would thrill the audience with a musical performance. In no time, he became one of the most popular teenagers in Konongo, and his fame spread to other parts of Kumasi.
Growing up, Black Sherif was a good dancer, and he initially nursed the idea of being a professional dancer. But he gave up the goal to pursue music, his first love.
