Bio

Abraham Philip Akpor Kojo Kainya, also known as Lord Kenya, is a former Ghanaian Hiplife artist turned Evangelist. His musical journey began at 17, though music had been part of his life since birth. Initially pushed towards a legal career by his parents, a standout performance at his father's birthday shifted their perspective. Joining Slip Music in 1998, he released his debut album, "Sika Card," which swiftly gained national acclaim. Lord Kenya earned awards, including the Hiplife Album of the Year at the Ghana Music Awards in 2001. However, a spiritual transformation led him to become an evangelist and leader of the Face of Grace Covenant Temple in Kumasi, Ghana.
