It\u2019s just the artist, the mic and the truth. We caught up with Black Sherif after the performance to talk about the album and his influences.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_video_widget wpb_content_element vc_clearfix   vc_video-aspect-ratio-169 vc_video-el-width-100 vc_video-align-left\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_video_wrapper\"><iframe title=\"Black Sherif - One | A COLORS SHOW\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iYo5CKEDnNc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"vc_empty_space\"   style=\"height: 32px\"><span class=\"vc_empty_space_inner\"><\/span><\/div>\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p><b>GP: Congratulations on the release of your latest album, <\/b><b><i>Iron Boy.<\/i><\/b><b> The name evokes strength and resilience. Is that a reflection of your personal journey over the last few years?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">BS: Yes, I\u2019d say strength and resilience are the best ways to describe the energy I poured into this album. Those qualities aren\u2019t just themes \u2014 they\u2019re the driving force behind every word, every note. Over the past few years, I\u2019ve been shaped by challenges and transformations that demanded both courage and persistence. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Iron Boy<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is a reflection of that inner journey: of pushing through, holding on, and ultimately emerging with something honest and powerful.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>GP: Afrobeats, drill, highlife: your music doesn\u2019t sit neatly in one box. How would you define your sound, or do you avoid that altogether?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">BS: I like to run away from defining my sound because I\u2019ve always had a bit of a problem with playing by the rules \u2013 in any aspect of life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>GP: With <\/b><b><i>Iron Boy<\/i><\/b><b> now out in the world, what feeling, truth, or message do you hope lingers with listeners after they\u2019ve spent time with the album?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">BS: I hope people walk away with a deeper understanding of how pain can be lived with, transformed, and even embraced. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Iron Boy<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is about the human condition in all its rawness: suffering, healing, growing. These experiences are part of who we are, and sometimes they carry wisdom that can shape us in unexpected ways. I want listeners to feel less alone in their own struggles and to see that there\u2019s beauty in surviving \u2014 and in making art from that survival.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>GP: Are your lyrics born out of instinct, lived experience, or observation? Do you usually start with words, melody, or mood?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">BS: Usually, it all starts from a mood \u2014 real or imagined \u2014 and then it grows into words, then melody. Or sometimes, melody first, then words. From there, I work on finding the soul of the body, making sure the lyrics have origin and meaning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>GP: Your music resonates far beyond Ghana. How do you stay rooted in your culture while speaking to a global audience?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">BS: My voice. Every time I sing, I remember where I come from and why I chose music. I remember how much I wanted to be heard, and how far I dreamt of taking it. It\u2019s that connection to my roots and my story that keeps me grounded while reaching a global audience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>GP: Do you feel any pressure representing West African youth or being seen as a voice of your generation?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">BS: It\u2019s a struggle. As much as I\u2019d rather not be a role model, that\u2019s what my life has become, in some way. But I have to stay true to myself to keep the spirit of my message alive \u2014 and finding that balance has been a bittersweet challenge.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"vc_empty_space\"   style=\"height: 32px\"><span class=\"vc_empty_space_inner\"><\/span><\/div>\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_center wpb_content_element\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper   vc_box_border_grey\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1500\" src=\"https:\/\/germany.10magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/J4I6330-1.jpg\" class=\"vc_single_image-img attachment-full\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"vc_empty_space\"   style=\"height: 32px\"><span class=\"vc_empty_space_inner\"><\/span><\/div>\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p><b>GP: COLORS has become a global stage for both emerging and established talent. <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=iYo5CKEDnNc&amp;ab_channel=COLORS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Your performance<\/b><\/a><b> felt like a new chapter \u2014 stripped down, raw, and globally visible. What did it mean to you to be featured on COLORS at this point in your journey? And how did you decide on the song you performed?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">BS: I always saw it coming. It felt almost like a necessary step \u2013 one of those missions where, once completed, it feels like d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Choosing the song wasn\u2019t<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">difficult at all. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> was the only track I had in mind when I found out I\u2019d be performing on COLORS.

Did that sense of vulnerability bring something new out in your performance?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">BS: I remember the energy in the room changing as I got into the song. It\u2019s wild, but <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> does that every time. It felt like one of those moments singing alone in my bedroom, long before the album dropped.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>GP: Did the minimalism of the COLORS studio challenge or inspire you in a new way, compared to performing live or in a traditional studio setting?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">BS: It definitely challenged me \u2014 there was no room to be a perfectionist. And that was actually really funny to me. But I loved it!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>GP: People define your music as a bridge between older and younger generations.
