We live in a metaphorical world filled to the brim with poetic lyrics and abstract compositions offering little explanation and ample interpretation. So we peek into the window of talent in hopes of getting a clearer glimpse of the inspirational artisan that lives on the other side and very rarely discover that raw honesty, exactly how it should be, exactly how it was meant to be. Kwesi Kankam is one of these rare artisans. His honesty is entwined in the sincerity of his lyrics and embedded within the captivating composition of his photography.  Kankam thrives simultaneously through both his music and his photography striving to fuse the two together to give life to the story that is rarely told. The story of why a story is even told at all. His music composition is a carefully crafted medley incorporating the whit of Dave Matthews band, powerful rhythms of Ghanaian gospel reggae, soothing melodies of John Mayer and the genuine honesty of Ben Harper. His lyrics are simple, relatable and dosed with a clever play on words that sing to the thin grey line between risk and reward that we unknowingly walk every day.  His photography is the perfect complement to his music, showcasing the visual relationships that exists between subjects. His art is molded around impeccable organization,"Without strong organization, any story is untold," Kankam says, "Most photography merely shows where we, as photographers, are looking; but a good composition---a good story--answers the more important questions as to why we're looking in the first place."  Kankam is scheduled for over 100 shows per year, showcasing his multi-talented works of both photography and music. His prints, books and cds encompass the honesty that we all seek, crave and appreciate while exposing our overlooked journeys through lyrical content and captivating photography. With the dual launch of both his music and photography career, Kankam is making himself to be a powerful force to be reckoned with and proving that his untold story, is far from over.
