Lowkner Releases “Boy to Man,” Blending Afro Roots with Modern Pop Shine
Lowkner, born Moubarak Nasser Owusu in Ghana and raised in Montreal, Canada, is an independent artist blending heartfelt lyricism, melodic rap, and cinematic production. Growing up between cultures gave him a unique perspective, one shaped by resilience, ambition, and the lessons learned through navigating life’s challenges. His music speaks to anyone walking their own path of growth, anchored in themes of sacrifice, perseverance, and hope.
His new single, “Boy to Man”, marks a defining moment in his journey — a raw, uplifting reflection on his transformation from youthful uncertainty to confident adulthood. Fusing his Afro roots with the smoothness of modern pop, the track is driven by jangly guitars, a bright tropical beat, and a feel-good, move-inducing energy. Yet beneath its vibrant exterior lies a deeply personal narrative. Every lyric is drawn from real experience: the struggles, the mistakes, the turning points that demanded change, and the sacrifices that shaped him.
“It wasn’t forced or overthought; the lyrics just came together in a way that felt magical and honest,” Lowkner shares. “The song reflects my own growth — the challenges and lessons that turned me from a boy into a man. I hope it inspires others to believe in their own growth, no matter where they’re starting from.”
Influenced by a mix of Afrobeats, modern pop, and soulful R&B, Lowkner crafts music that balances vulnerability and strength, intimacy and scale. Montreal’s melting pot of cultures also seeps into the sound, adding colour and richness to the track’s sonic palette. “Boy to Man” is equally suited for solitary reflection as it is for celebration — a reminder of how far you’ve come, and proof that even in the toughest moments, growth is always possible.
With “Boy to Man”, Lowkner doesn’t just share his story, he offers a soundtrack for resilience, inspiring listeners to rise above their circumstances and move forward with purpose. It’s a milestone not just in his music, but in the man he’s become.
