Ghanaian Afrobeats and hiplife star Lasmid is ready for his biggest headline moment yet. He has announced Lasmid Live in Concert: The Legacy Begins , his first major solo concert in Accra, for Saturday, December 5, 2026. The show takes place at The Palms Convention Centre inside the La Palm Royal Beach Hotel. "The journey brought us here. The next chapter starts now. Lasmid live in concert. The Legacy Begins," he posted on X. The post went up on the evening of Tuesday, October 6, and ended with a simple invitation: "Be there for the beginning." From MTN Hitmaker to the headline stage Lasmid, whose full name is Ladsmid Nathaniel Owusu, was born on May 24, 1999, in Takoradi in Ghana's Western Region. He previously performed as Charger. He rose to national prominence by winning the eighth season of the MTN Hitmaker competition in 2019, The Vaultz News reports. The prize included a recording contract worth GH¢120,000 and a deal with Highly Spiritual Music, the label founded by producer Kaywa. "Friday Night" and the hits that followed His breakthrough came in 2022 with "Friday Night", which went viral on TikTok and topped several Ghanaian charts. At the 2023 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards , he won Best New Artiste and Best Hiplife Song for it. Angel Online adds that "Atele", released in 2021, also gained recognition the following year. Later releases include "Puul", "Butta My Bread" with JZyNO, "Darkest Style", "Signature", "Biggest Nathaniel" and "Faith". The Vaultz News says several have reached No. 1 on Ghana's Apple Music charts. In 2025, he released the album Sweet Songs 4 You, which Angel Online says still draws streams and features in TikTok dance challenges.
