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.

In a world that often prizes noise over meaning, Kobby Wright offers something different a voice that doesn’t just perform, but pierces.
A spoken word artist, poet, and storyteller, Kobby is more than his verses. He is a curator of emotion, a vessel of truth, and a witness to the complexities of the human condition. With a tone that walks the line between vulnerability and conviction, he transforms pain into power and silence into connection.
Kobby’s themes are as wide as they are deep: identity, justice, love, community, trauma, resilience, and grace. His performances are intimate yet commanding the kind that draw a room to stillness and then break it open.
But more than performance, his mission is purpose. Kobby doesn’t write for applause; he writes to spark reflection, to fuel conversations, and to remind us that stories especially our stories matter.
At the Ehalakasa National Slam Prelims 2025, Kobby Wright brings this mission to the stage. And if history is any indication, the crowd won’t just listen. They’ll remember.

In poetry, there are performers. And then, there are thinkers who perform. Mawufemor is both.
Born Rosina Nyadey, she’s a level 300 student at the University of Ghana, pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Study of Religion. But on stage, she steps beyond academia. She becomes a voice gentle yet grounded that reminds us of poetry’s original power: to express what the world often silences.
A passionate reader and emerging writer, Mawufemor believes that “poetry is what helps man express himself.” It’s a simple truth with ancient weight. Her work is not driven by performance tricks or trends it’s driven by meaning. Her words rise from the intersection of books and belief, education and emotion, language and liberation.
This August, she takes the stage at the Ehalakasa National Slam Prelims 2025 where her truth meets a microphone, and the crowd meets a mind shaped by both scholarship and spirit.

Poets often speak from the heart. But LéO speaks from soul memory weaving verse from love, loss, faith, and the raw tenderness of being human.
Born in Obuasi, now based in Sunyani, LéO is not your typical rising poet. At 30, he carries with him a body of work already resonating deeply online. His poetic pieces, especially across TikTok and YouTube, have earned him a devoted following for their introspective depth, spiritual undertones, and unfiltered honesty.
LéO’s themes aren’t trendy they’re timeless. He writes of spirituality, self-discovery, grief, romantic vulnerability, and the poetry of real life. He brings a soft strength, a quiet conviction that pulls audiences closer without needing to shout.
Currently, LéO is in the midst of producing a professional visual version of his poem “Im-Possible” a piece that explores breaking through limitations, personal and societal.
This August 9 at the British Council, he’ll step from screen to stage at the Ehalakasa National Poetry Slam Prelims 2025, not just to perform but to invite the audience inward. If his work online is any indication, his presence in person will be nothing short of unforgettable.

For many, the journey to poetry begins with applause. But for Pearl Asante, it begins with introspection.
A communications student at UNIMAC, Pearl hails proudly from the Volta Region. She identifies deeply as a Christian, a reader, and an admirer of literature’s quiet giants those whose words have shaped her own.
While this year marks her first time performing on a national platform, Pearl is no stranger to expressing herself through poetry. From classroom showcases to campus stages, her voice has already stirred classmates and professors alike.
She doesn’t claim awards. She doesn’t boast titles. What she has, however, is something rarer: people who genuinely connect with her work who stop her after performances and say, “I felt that.” And in her words, that is enough.
Pearl’s poetry is personal, thoughtful, and quietly powerful. She writes not to impress but to address to explore the thoughts that keep her up, to speak on matters often left untouched, to make sense of the world around her.
And now, at the 2025 Ehalakasa National Slam Prelims, she brings that soft strength to the stage where courage meets creativity.
