Born in Accra, September 18th, Tualai grew up listening to the likes of Eminem, Sizzla, Nas,Rock City,Kwadee,MI and Kojo Antwi. He learnt rhythm by playing drums at church at an early age. He built his musical reputation on the hard truth; thus the name "Tualai", which means He who does not tell lies. Tualia is a grate talented young man who has a lot to offer to the Ghanaian music industry and the world at large. He believes music changes and not constant so he ready to give Ghanaians anything they want because he believe in making his funs happy always than himself.

His first public performance was at a Street Battle in D.C, where he exhibited extraordinary talent and skill. Utilizing Twi, Ga and Pidgin in his music, Tualai has bridged the gap; cutting across audiences in Ghana. His first single, PropaGhana, addresses the socioeconomic as well as political problems in Ghana, siting few incidents in the music, movie and sports industries.
