For over a decade, Ghana has been the creative anchor for Lebanese-born musician, entrepreneur and event producer Ghareeb Kaawar, professionally known as DJ Sky, who has built his career around bringing people together through electronic music, live entertainment and cultural exchange.
His activities span music production, event creation and media, reflecting a relationship with Ghana that continues to develop.
Through SKY MUSIC and his collaborations with Ghanaian entertainers and organisers, Kaawar has contributed to the country's electronic music scene, performing sets that blend Afrohouse, Amapiano, Afrobeats and international dance music.
An earlier milestone was his appearance at Ghana's JD Music Fest in 2019, and his previous Sky Show events with Chivas. HEY IBÏZA became another important part of that journey. Working through SKY MUSIC alongside WatsUp TV and event partners, Kaawar helped bring an international beach festival atmosphere to Ghana. The festival's 2023 Wave II edition attracted attention with appearances by personalities including Memphis Depay and Thomas Partey, connecting music, sport and Accra's social scene.
His recent performances have continued that connection with Ghanaian audiences, particularly young people. At the 2026 WatsUp On Campus event at the University of Professional Studies, Accra, Kaawar performed before a crowd, combining familiar dance rhythms with original material from his One World music project. Another highlight came at the University of Media, Arts and Communication, where the 2026 UniMAC edition of WatsUp On Campus featured Kaawar alongside Stonebwoy and other entertainers, bringing together thousands of students and music fans.
Beyond performing, Kaawar has moved into television development. In January 2026, he announced One World Circle, co-created and produced with its founder, Abdoulaye Traore, popularly known as Abd Traore. The programme was conceived around conversations about business, leadership, creativity and development in Ghana and across Africa, with Kaawar contributing creative direction and cultural storytelling. He also appeared on WatsUp TV programmes, including The Top 10 shows and Spit on it in 2020. Kaawar also won Best International DJ at the Ghana DJ Awards in 2023.
Music production remains a central part of his work. His earlier catalogue includes "Milagros," "Lost" and "Reality," alongside "Time Capsule." His developing One World direction brings together the influences that have shaped his career: African percussion, Amapiano grooves, Afrohouse, melodic electronic music and elements inspired by his Lebanese background. Current music development includes projects such as "Ghana Fire Up," alongside more emotional, melody-led material exploring love, belonging and connection.
For Kaawar, Ghana is both the home of his career and an influence on its sound. His work across festivals, university events, recordings and media shows the different ways he has participated in the country's creative life. As he develops new music and further creative projects, his story continues through the relationships he has built in Ghana with audiences, artists, organisers and collaborators who have become part of his journey.
