Ghanaian-American singer Akuvi teams up with Ghanaian star Stonebwoy for the new single ‘Dream Big.’ The track is produced by Peewezel.
Ghanaian-American singer-songwriter Akuvi and Ghanaian dancehall and reggae artist Stonebwoy release their collaborative single ‘Dream Big.’ The three-minute track is produced by Peewezel and represents a standalone release from Akuvi’s own imprint. This partnership connects two distinct voices within the African and diaspora music scene. Akuvi, known for her Afro-fusion style that blends soulful vocals with West African rhythms, first gained attention through her independent releases and vibrant live performances. Her music often explores themes of self-discovery and empowerment. Stonebwoy, born Livingstone Etse Satekla, is a multiple award-winning artist and one of Ghana’s most prominent musical exports. His career includes several albums like ‘Epistles of Mama’ and ‘Anloga Junction,’ along with a BET Award for Best International Act: Africa, establishing him as a leading figure in the global Afrobeats and dancehall conversation.

The single ‘Dream Big’ arrives as both artists maintain active release schedules. Stonebwoy’s recent work includes collaborations with international acts and consistent chart presence in Ghana and beyond. His record label, Burniton Music Group, has become a notable platform for new talent. Akuvi’s previous projects have built a foundation of genre-blending pop that appeals to both African and international audiences. Their decision to collaborate on a track with a clear motivational message highlights a shared interest in music that uplifts as well as entertains. Producer Peewezel provides the instrumental backdrop, likely crafting a blend of contemporary Afrobeats percussion and melodic elements suitable for both artists’ vocal delivery. The song’s theme of ambition and resilience resonates with the personal narratives both musicians have shared through their art.
This release underscores the collaborative nature of modern African pop music, where artists frequently cross genre and geographic lines to create new sounds. For Stonebwoy, working with Akuvi represents a connection with the diaspora and an exploration of a more soul-influenced direction. For Akuvi, partnering with an artist of Stonebwoy’s stature provides increased visibility and aligns her music with a proven hitmaker. The independent release under Akuvi’s copyright indicates a strategic move to maintain creative and financial control, a model increasingly common among established African artists. ‘Dream Big’ positions itself as an anthem of perseverance, likely aiming for playlist inclusion in both motivational and popular music categories, further expanding the reach of both performers.
