Joey B is the stage name of Darryl Paa Kwesi Bannerman-Martin, a Ghanaian hip hop and Afrobeats recording artist born in Cape Coast, Ghana, on August 20, 1989. He discovered his musical talent at six years of age when he began ghostwriting songs for a group he formed with friends. He attended St. Theresa's School and Accra High School, and graduated from Zenith University College in 2016. He began his music career collaborating with producer Lil Shaker before working with Jayso, the founder of Skillions, and later releasing hit songs under the labels Hammer of The Last Two and Black Avenue Music. Joey B achieved national prominence with his 2014 breakthrough hit single “Tonga” featuring Sarkodie. In July 2015, Joey B was outdoored as a brand ambassador for Adidas in Ghana, becoming the first brand ambassador for the company in Africa. His recording career includes the extended plays Darryl (2017) and Lava Feels (2020). He has collaborated with prominent African artists, including EL, Fuse ODG, Medikal, and King Promise, and was nominated for Hip-life/Hiphop Artist of the Year at the 2021 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards. Following an extended stay in New York in 2024 that was inspired by the sexy drill wave, he returned in June 2026 to release his third studio album, Sexy Highlife. The album featured collaborations with Bosom P Yung on “Akosua Broni”, Odunsi (The Engine) on “Exopa”, and Bisa Kdei on “Kyeiwaa”. The tracks “Akosua Broni” and “Princess” sampled the late Highlife icon Daddy Lumba, who passed away in July 2025, with the pre-release single “Princess” achieving nearly five million streams.
