Chana Paul – A Multi-Genre Architect Moving Without Limits

Welcome to the Thesavannaonline Profile Series, a dedicated project uncovering the passion and creative evolution of today’s most compelling talents. Today, we spotlight Abakwam Chana Paul, known professionally as Chana Paul, a versatile musician and superior vocalist based in Accra, Ghana. With over a decade of experience, Chana Paul has transformed from a street-battle rapper into a multi-genre architect who refuses to be confined by industry labels.

The Evolution: From Street Battles to Vocal Superiority

Chana Paul’s career began in the high-stakes environment of “street battles” where he first cut his teeth as a rapper and vocalist. A significant turning point in his journey was his venture into “refixes”—remakes of established songs that better exuded his unique vocal style. It was through this experimental phase that his value as a “superior vocalist” truly came to the fore, proving that his voice was a power capable of leading any track.

While he started in rap, Chana Paul eventually realized that his talent was meant for a broader canvas. “I gradually realized I wasn’t meant to be stuck in a genre,” he explains, now identifying as a multi-genre artist who brings a “stellar sound” to any beat he touches. His style has been shaped by heavyweights such as Lil Wayne, Ne-Yo, Ace Hood, Chris Brown, and R. Kelly, who have influenced his unique approach to melody and flow.

The Creative Pulse: “Moving Regardless”

For Chana Paul, music is a non-confrontational sanctuary for deep emotional expression. His creative process is fluid and intuitive; he often moves between projects to keep inspiration fresh. Whether a beat inspires a melody or a deep internal thought births the lyrics, his daily routine is anchored by essential tools like Cubase, FL Studio, a JBL soundbox, and his phone notebook.

A Senior High graduate, Chana Paul, also has ambitions to pursue higher education as he continues his life journey. He lives by a powerful personal philosophy: “Keep moving regardless, one day it will make sense”. This mindset allows him to view criticism not as a setback, but as a tool for growth, sifting through feedback to find what can make him better.

Collaborative Magic and the Goldganq Legacy

A defining pillar of Chana Paul’s career is his work as half of the duo Goldganq alongside his brother, Lamachi. Their synergy reached a monumental peak when a snippet of their song “Bibara” went viral on TV3’s social media, garnering millions of views and solidifying their place as rising stars.

His resume is further bolstered by several “monster songs” and high-profile collaborations:

• “Maame”: A standout track featuring Fad Lan and Bill Gucci.
• “For Life”: A soulful collaboration with Soorebia.
• Artistic Partners: He has worked extensively with artists like Kito, Eben, Lamachi, Swaggu, and KenX.
• Visual Branding: To secure his “next level,” he has strategically partnered with KlothGold as his official stylist to ensure his brand matches his musical caliber.

Vision for the Future: A Global Legacy

Chana Paul is currently in the studio finishing a new EP set for release in the first quarter of 2026, alongside several singles to ensure he “does not starve fans” in the coming year. Looking ahead, he aims to become a global artist whose music transcends borders and cultures while proudly waving Ghana’s flag. He hopes to leave a legacy as a musician who used his voice to impact the world and effect positive change.

His advice to aspiring creatives is built on a foundation of grit: “Stay focused… creating is probably the easiest part. The tough part is getting your work out there. But with persistence, a good work ethic, and the use of all available tools, you can definitely make it. Work Smart fam”.
