Luqman Hamid p.k.a Mariwan is regarded as one of the most influential artists from Ghana. Mariwan was raised in Asamankese-Zongo , his Islamic hometown in the Eastern Region of Ghana. Mariwan's unique sound is geared towards creating a mass cult following, with the end goal of creating a global icon. With the manner in which he blends Ghanaian Highlife with Afro Beat, Drill and other sounds, it widens his reach and potential. With Highlife being Ghana's authentic sound, his use of the genre has an instant effect on the older folk which isn't the usual case for a 20 year old artiste. First time listeners of Mariwan get amazed by his vocal range then zone into his eerie unorthodox melodies. But the actual catch is the substance in his writing and how relevant and relative it is to morden times and listeners.
