Some artists find their sound. Others build it, brick by brick, from grit, humility, and fearless experimentation. Henzborn Richie belongs to the second group — the creators who don’t just chase moments but shape them.
From his earliest recordings to his latest chart-climbing hits, Richie has carved out a lane defined by authenticity, emotional depth, and a sound that blends Afrobeats, Afropop, and subtle dancehall influences.
His journey didn’t begin with hype or industry backing — it began with hunger.
A Journey Rooted in Growth
Henzborn Richie made his official entry into the music scene in 2021 with the debut Energy EP, a raw, promising body of work that introduced his voice, his direction, and his willingness to put his truth into sound. The project signaled not the arrival of a star, but the rise of one in the making.
Since then, Richie has never taken his foot off the gas. Each release has shown sharper penmanship, richer melodies, and a deepening connection to life experiences:
2022 — The Emotional Year
- Deep Down revealed a version of Richie that wasn’t afraid to be vulnerable.
- The song connected with listeners because it felt real — a moment of honesty wrapped in smooth Afropop rhythm.
2023 — The Expansion
- He teamed up with producer Drumzstixz for Addicted, merging their styles into a fluid, addictive sound.
- The collaboration extended his reach and introduced him to new ears across digital platforms.
2024 — Finding His Voice
- Feel and Lonely at the Top showcased maturity — a relatable reflection on pressure, ambition, and self-belief.
- Both singles reinforced Richie’s place in the fast-evolving modern Afrobeats landscape.
2025 — Evolution Mode
February 2025 saw the release of the J.F.T.M.L EP, a project that signaled creative evolution.
It was richer, bolder, more intentional — the kind of project that tells the industry a new chapter has begun.
The Breakthrough Era: Golden Moments & Viral Momentum
On July 11, 2025, Henzborn Richie dropped The Gold Hour EP, a defining moment in his career.
Its standout track, Level, became a continental breakthrough:
- 1 million streams on Boomplay
- 1.5 million+ total streams across platforms
- Reached No. 8 on Boomplay’s Top Songs in Africa (Aug 1–7)
These numbers weren’t accidental — they were earned through resonance. “Level” became an anthem of progression, growth, and silent hustle; the kind of song people replay when they need a push.
And he didn’t let up.
On October 1, 2025, Richie released Swalalala, a soulful, inspiring record rooted in themes of self-belief, dedication, and intentional living. It expanded his narrative, showing he isn’t just making songs — he’s making statements.

create music that feels personal yet universal, intimate yet global.
As he pushes to surpass every milestone behind him, one thing is clear:
