99 PHACES Is Apple Music’s Latest Up Next Artist In Ghana

Apple Music today unveils Ghanaian multidisciplinary creative collective 99 PHACES as the newest act to join its Up Next artist development initiative in Ghana.

“Being chosen for Up Next is everything for us. It confirms that the late nights, the uncertainties, and the hard work have paid off,” 99 PHACES shared with Apple Music. “To everyone who has supported us from the beginning, we notice you, we hear you, and we guarantee that this year will be even more remarkable. Anticipate daring tracks, sincere narratives, and sounds that connect directly with your hearts from ours. The ascent continues!”

Bringing together music, digital art, and fine art into a single progressive movement, the collective was established in 2022 and consists of CozyPols, Anabel Rose, Insvne Auggie, Freddie Gambini, KiKi Celine, Moffy, Mēl, KQ The Artist, and Tikki Waja.

Fundamentally, 99 PHACES celebrates unity, rekindling the ethos of collaboration, sharing resources, and community within Ghana’s creative scene. Looking ahead, they have revealed the launch of their second album THE KIDS ARE JUST FINE — a coming‑of‑age project that narrates a tale of resilience and growth.

Brimming with joy and festivity, every song serves as a page in a collective journal: the nocturnal dancefloors that nearly consumed them, the million‑dollar aspirations that kept them awake, the love‑laden melodies that both diverted and motivated them, and the tough conversations that ultimately guided them back to themselves.
