Chief Babs grew up in Northern Ghana, Tamale. As a boy, he often spent time away from the city in his grandfather’s village where he learned to appreciate the traditions and cultures of his people. Later, Babs joined the Center for National Culture in Tamale, where he practiced drumming and African dance, which he performed throughout Ghana. After immigrating to the United States in 2011, Babs has used his art to remember and celebrate the customs of his homeland. His artwork honors traditional African dance, music, village life, hard work, and family.
