GENESIS OWUSU has defied genre and style to keep the limelight burning following the release of his 2021 debut album, Smiling With No Teeth, and is an exponentially rising artist on a global scale.

Most recently, he released his single "Get Inspired" featuring his inimitable lyrical jab and a menacing and poetic punk hybridity. The song from the Ghanaian-Australian artist is also currently featured in a global Apple ad for Apple Fitness+, was named one of the best songs of the year by Los Angeles Times, and is available for voting - as well as his summer 2022 single "GTFO" - for triple j's Hottest 100 competition.

Today, Owusu also shares the stunning official video for "GET INSPIRED (A Roach Movement Video)," directed by Babekuhl & Chris Yee.

Owusu, born Kofi Owusu-Ansah, kicked off last year by making his national late night television debut on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. He has gone on to perform numerous festival and headline tours and next, is set to support Paramore on a number of North American shows in 2023 including Madison Square Garden in New York City (see full tour routing below).

A few of Owusu's marquee live appearances with his Goon Club and The Black Dog Band (his recording band) since the release of Smiling with No Teeth include.
