MUSIC was the strongest inner urge for young Alexander Mensah and it couldn't be an awkward undertaking when he decided to take the art professional at his youth age to make a good life out of it, under the stage name Diploma. He has now stamped his name in the book of Ghana's artiste record book with a few singles and is still working on new hit ones to widen his presence from a small-scale talk-about to a big enough global force in no time.
Naturally, Diploma finds his core voice in reggae-dancehall and his improvisation and riddim play skills authenicate his genuine calling for the duo-genre. His style of delivery and content paths are as unique as anything real, being works in an original sense.
Having a strong mental wealth and a good measure of reasoning depth, Diploma demonstrates good critical thinking and he utiises much sense when writing his pieces. This he does to ensure the each final content he puts out can suvive adverse critiquing.
What would motivate any super star to excel at the art same motivates Diploma, he draws inspiration from intuition, nature, life experiences, peer testimonies, abstract imaginations, creative fictions, and anything capable of producing relatable lyrical ideas worth his time.
As a universal lover of music, Diploma never limits his preference to just reggae and dancehall, his musical taste spans all genres --- making his craft sharp and adjustable, yet he spins mostly on the axis of reggae-dancehall to keep a fixed unwavering brand. He finds his role model in Buju Banton, Bob Marley, Sizzla, Beenie Man, Morgan, Heritage, Busy Signal, Vybz Kartel, Samini, Shatta Wale, Stonebwoy, Jay Z, Nas, 50 Cent, Eminem, Tupac, Aaliyaa and a long list of other great musicians who influence his talent.
Not at all restricted to monotony, as any artistes willing to soar a large spectrum of different theme waves also is, Diploma dare to sing about a wide selection of subjects. His content theme log boasts of faith, politics, revelry, love, life, current happenings, and whatever he finds a musical side to.
Diploma treats music as a lifetime mission and so is deep into the game with an unbreakable poise. He aspires to be one of the great artistes in the future just so when entertainment pundits and fans are discussing reggae and dancehall in Africa his name won't be left out. With this golden aspiration in mind, Diploma keeps honing his craft to not fail on his dream chase.
Born in Ghana (West Africa) where he still lives, one grows amidst many odds and less opportunities for young talents, so hardworking Diploma keeps doing his very best even as an independent artiste to reach out to the rest of the world through his music with the strong belief that it doesn't matter where you are from, the world can be yours if you seriously determine to own it.
