When you speak of Ghana’s spoken word movement, you cannot skip the name Sabway Lyfstyle a bold poetic voice and a visionary from the Western Region who has been using poetry not just as art, but as a movement of meaning.

Known for his deeply introspective performances and a lyrical command rooted in faith, identity, and social awareness, Sabway Lyfstyle has performed on some of the most important platforms in Ghana’s creative circuit. From the Western Music Awards and Shades and Tins, to corporate and public stages like Ghana Gas Media Collet and the Atlantic Mall opening, his presence has always carried weight not just in words, but in impact.

Yet Sabway Lyfstyle is not only a performer  he’s a builder. As the founder of Voice Out Poetry, he’s carved space for emerging spoken word artists to find their footing, voice, and stage. Through curated events like Life and Bars, This is Near, and A Journey to Nowhere, he’s created a legacy rooted in performance, mentorship, and purpose.

Sabway Lyfstyle’s work is not made to entertain. It’s made to unsettle, to awaken, to transform. In a country still defining its contemporary artistic voice, he is proof that poetry is not passive it is public service.

As he takes the stage at the Ehalakasa National Slam Prelims 2025, one thing is certain: he’s not just here to perform. He’s here to lead.
