WKDEY is an African reggae fusion artist based in the US. Originally from Cameroon, his
sound is a blend of reggae, afrobeats and dancehall. From freedom anthem ‘My Baby Go
Dance’ to uptempo track ‘Body’, WKDEY’s music is infused with upbeat rhythms and
catchy heartfelt lyrics that bring people joy and get them dancing.
As one of Cameroon’s first reggae fusion artists, WKDEY (meaning “Work Dey”) draws
creative inspiration from his African spirit and roots, as well as from artists like Bob Marley,
Burna Boy, Ed Sheeran and Shatta Wale. Speaking about his drive to write and create, the
artist said: “God did not give me money to spend on nothing. Instead He gave me
something even money can't buy - my love and gift for music.”
Having grown up in the church, WKDEY originally set out on a path to priesthood before
realising that making music was his calling. Guided by his heart and gut, WKDEY chose to
pursue his music dreams instead, putting out music in 2014 and releasing his first official
single “Inbox Me” in 2018. He soon began collaborating with local artists and producers,
including Ekie Bozeur, I.V.O, Chris Bob and Traskcom Empire, before moving to the US
several months later to kickstart the next chapter of his music career.
In April 2020, WKDEY founded his label, Rely On Jah Records. Currently, he’s in the studio
producing new music. Follow the artist for new music.
