In September 2024, Angel Dweh and his brother, Stanley Dweh, founded The Dweh Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering the next generation of Liberian youth through access to quality education. The foundation was created out of a shared passion for giving back to their homeland and addressing the educational challenges faced by children in underserved communities across Liberia.
At its core, the Dweh Foundation’s mission is to provide financial assistance and academic opportunities to students from kindergarten through 12th grade, ensuring that every child, regardless of their background, has the chance to pursue their dreams and build a brighter future. By partnering with a network of trusted schools throughout Liberia, the foundation works hand in hand with educators, parents, and local leaders to identify deserving students and provide the necessary resources to support their learning journey.

Angel and Stanley envision a Liberia where every child can access quality education and contribute meaningfully to the nation’s progress. Their foundation stands as a testament to the power of unity, compassion, and the belief that education is the key to transforming lives and building stronger communities for generations to come.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
The journey toward establishing myself as an independent artist and philanthropist has been both challenging and profoundly transformative. There were times when it felt as though my music went unheard, moments when self-doubt crept in, and I questioned whether the sacrifices and late nights were worth it. Yet, it was precisely through these trials that I discovered the true strength and depth of my voice both as an artist and as a human being committed to making a difference.
During these moments of uncertainty, I turn to prayers and reflection, seeking guidance and inspiration from God. These quiet moments of introspection provide clarity, restore my sense of direction, and remind me of the greater purpose behind my work. They fuel my determination to continue creating music that resonates with people, uplifts spirits, and speaks to the hearts of my supporters those I lovingly refer to as “The Angels.”
This journey has not only shaped my artistry but also taught me invaluable lessons about resilience, faith, and patience. I have learned to embrace setbacks as opportunities for growth, to trust in the timing of my path, and to find peace in every step of the process. Each song I write, every performance I give, and each philanthropic effort I undertake is infused with a renewed sense of purpose and passion, reflecting my unwavering commitment to both my craft and the communities I serve.
Ultimately, this path has shown me that success is not defined solely by recognition or accolades but by the impact one makes, the lives touched, and the authenticity with which one pursues their calling.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
Emerging from the vibrant heart of Liberia and shaped by the dynamic cultural tapestry of the United States, I proudly define myself as a multifaceted Liberian Afropop , Afrobeat and R&B artist, singer-songwriter, dancer, and philanthropist. My artistic journey is deeply rooted in the fusion of two worlds the soulful rhythms and storytelling traditions of modern Liberia intertwined with the modern pulse and melodic sophistication of American music. This blend allows me to craft a sound that is both deeply personal and universally resonant, bridging cultural gaps while celebrating unity through rhythm and emotion. My music serves as a vessel of expression, identity, and empowerment. Each song reflects my experiences, aspirations, and the voices of those whose stories often go unheard. Drawing inspiration from everyday life, love, resilience, and the shared African diaspora experience, I aim to connect with audiences on an emotional and spiritual level. Whether through the hypnotic beats of Afrobeat, the smooth sensuality of R&B, or the lyrical storytelling of Afropop, my sound embodies authenticity and depth.
As a performer, I channel my passion through movement and energy, transforming every stage into a space of cultural celebration and emotional release. Beyond the music, my work as a philanthropist reinforces my commitment to giving back to my community using my platform to support education, youth empowerment, and cultural preservation initiatives in Liberia and beyond.
Through poignant lyrics, expressive vocals, and a dedication to innovation, I continue to forge an artistic identity that honors my heritage while pushing boundaries in the ever-evolving global music scene. My ultimate goal is to inspire others to remind them that no matter where they come from, their voice and story have the power to resonate across borders and generations.
Where do you see things going in the next 5-10 years?
In the next five to ten years, I envision my industry experiencing significant growth and transformation, marked by innovative advancements and positive shifts in trends. The future of African and Liberian music holds tremendous promise, with new opportunities and exciting sonic evolutions that will elevate the global music landscape and drive success for everyone involved.
