Joseph Bulley, known professionally as Magnom, is a Ghanaian record producer and recording artist, who produces music ranging from Hiphop, dancehall, and Afrobeats.[1][2] He gained the attention of Ghanaians after he produced the song "illuminati" with Ghanaian BET award winner Sarkodie.[3][4]

Early life

[edit | edit source]

Magnom grew up around a dad who listened to all genres of music, which helped him in his love for music. He started out as a rapper in a group with fellow rapper Asem, but he quit rap for record production.[5] During that period he came across a Digital Audio Workstation and realised he could actually create music with it.[6] Magnom attended Christ The King for his junior high school education. He had his secondary education at St. Peters Senior High School and later obtained his Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree from the University of Ghana, Legon where he studied psychology, linguistics and religion.[7]

Career
