A storyteller connecting cultures through sound, performance, and purpose.

Sanaa is a Dubai-based Ghanaian musician, bass player, music director, and creative entrepreneur with around 20 years of experience spanning performance, production, and leadership across Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and North America.

He is the Founder and Creative Director of Inceptus, a music-focused Creative Studio based in Dubai that designs and delivers high-quality live music experiences, from intimate showcases to full-scale venue programs, centered on audience connection, artistic excellence, and measurable commercial value.

Sanaa also serves as a Trustee of the SCLAN Foundation (Manchester, UK), supporting creative development and community-focused arts initiatives.

As an artist and session bassist, he is known for blending African rhythms with contemporary sounds, weaving gospel, jazz, funk, and electronic influences into a soulful, globally resonant voice. His third album, It’s Time, captures his signature balance of emotion, storytelling, and musical mastery.

His artistic excellence has been recognized with industry honors, including Instrumentalist of the Year at the 2025 Telecel Ghana Music Awards, celebrating his contribution to live performance and creative direction.

Rooted in African heritage yet global in outlook, Sanaa’s work extends beyond performance, building creative ecosystems where musicians can express freely, collaborate across cultures, and thrive artistically.
