Yes, I have known and loved music all my life but my journey did not start there. Rophnan: Funny enough, it did not start out with music for me. Can you tell us about your upbringing and how you got into music? The Reporter: let’s start from the beginning.
Yosthena Aynalem of The Reporter sat down with Rophnan to talk about the mystery that is Rophnan Nuri. Rophnan announced the final album of the trilogy will be released before the end of 2022. The two albums, which were released after his deal with Universal Records, offer incredibly produced music directed at the youth. He recently released a successful album “3” earlier this year, which he followed up by “6” this past week. His w ork and demeanor has earned him a feature on Forbes Africa’s 30 in the creative category, making him the first Ethiopian to feature on the list. He also held a successful country wide tour for a year and half. His work earned him multiple awards, featured with world famous groups like Major lazer, and collaborated with the Zambian rapper Chef 187 on the coke studio stage. Mixing traditional sounds with futuristic undertones and a powerful lyric, he dedicated his debut work as a voice for his generation.
The album made him the first ever artist to release an electronic music LP in Ethiopia, becoming an influential figure locally and internationally. The Artist made a name for himself as DJ Rophi before releasing his first album, Reflection, in 2018. Rophnan Nuri, commonly known as Rophnan, is a prominent performing artist, musician, DJ, singer, songwriter and an audio engineer that blazed a trail for Ethio-infused electronic and house music.
